If I was to walk from where I am
To where you are right now
I´d have to cross eight borders and three seas.
But that might show you what you mean to me.

And if I was to make this journey long
I´d have to learn to swim
Much better than my doggy-paddle way.
But then you might believe me when I say

The time will come when you and I
Are not so far away
And I won´t be singing this song on that day.

I will set out for your island home
When my front crawl´s up to scratch
