Album: Under Wraps
Later, that some evening, she run. I think she run alone
Later, she had early warning from a hidden fone
Checked with the embassy - she might have been a million miles away
Should I circulate her likeness at all airports without delay
It was later - later, that some evening.
Early, we had had a drink or four in some Kensington hotel
Hard - it was hard to keep my mind on what she had to sell
And with all business done, we took a cab -
Should it be her place or mine ?
Good security prevaled and I was home just after nine
It was later - later, that some evening.
Now I want you back
Yes, they want you back
We want you back
My country wants you back
Later, in the wee small hours there was heavy traffic on the radio
Scare, at a channel port - small craft warnings to keep to shore
Lobstermen thought they saw a submarine
Half submerged suspiciously
Though I arrived too late, I'm sure she blew a kiss to me
As the sub sailed out to sea.
