(He's got the whole world)
(In his hands)
(We're in his hands)
(Got the whole wide world)
(In his hands)
(It's in his hands)

[in the evening]
[gently whisper]
[sweetly falling]


(spoken:)
I'm so sorry
I know exactly what you mean

Tired of being devilish
Sick of being wicked
Habitual and untrue

I'm really startin' over
Although it is windy
I send regards to you

Standin on the steps
Steps of the cathedral
Watch the summer fade

Just trying to get to somewhere
Tryin' to get.. just.. anywhere
But I know it ain't my day
