For What It's Worth - Allan Taylor, Beo Brockhausen, Hans-Joerg Maucksch

We sent our postcards saying «wish you were here»

And then made love under the boardwalk pier

I got it wrong and you started to cry

I said I loved you but it was a lie

You were gentle and I was rough

I was talking big and acting tough

Now I’ve forgotten your name, it was so long ago

We were two young kids with no place to go

No place to go

We lost touch I had the world to see

I didn’t think of you did you think of me

When you fell in love was he good and kind

Like I should have been for your first time

I should have got you a ring from the trinket stall

And drawn a heart with and arrow on the boardwalk wall

Maybe got you a flower to weave in your hair

I should have done something that was tender to show that I cared

To show that I cared

That’s the way life sometimes goes

How life can change nobody knows

For what it’s worth and come what may

I’m feeling bad when I think of that day

Young love should be pure and true

And I should have been so good for you

Do you remember the kid who got it all wrong

Well that kid’s now a man and he’s writing this song

I’m composing these words, I’m trying to tell you somehow

I didn’t love you then, but I love you now

That’s the way life sometimes goes

How life can change nobody knows

Nobody knows, nobody knows

How things can change, nobody knows
