You knew those Belvedere weekends
Were just the beginning
Of a long way home
You were not meant to be
Just good friends
Rumour red
You were ahead of your time
From Baltimore to Paris
You held your head up high
Held back the tears
Across the years
A prisoner of circumstances
Outside looking in
If you had your time over
Would you do it all again ?
He was your lonely little boy
Lost in deep water
And about to go down
You soon became his favourite toy
A brighter jewel than any in the crown
From Baltimore to Paris
You held your head up high
Held back the tears
Across the years
A prisoner of circumstances
Outside looking in
If you had your time over
Would you do it all again ?
He abandoned what he promised you
When he could not turn the tide
With a lifetime to prove yourselves
It was enough for you
To be at his side
You gave up your pride
Rumour red
One step ahead of your time
