Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mr. Taxman, It's been a long time, I'll be back again
The birds and bees be attracting 'em
The pretty little flowers on the racks blend
Filled with meaning, sip the Riesling
I'm thinking about white to match the season
Let's visit the garden, the rivered parks
Bring it to your eyes, delivered hearts
[Verse 2]
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
Ms. Hilary
Do you remember me?
[Verse 3]
I'm going overseas
Come fly with me, I'll give you all
I'm going overseas
Come fly with me, I'll give you all
I'll give you all, my dear
[Verse 4]
When I'm overseas, your love just comes over with me
Attacking me viciously, in the sweet way that's loving to me
Gifts, some diamonds rings, a card, it's nothing to me
You send a picture, a mail package, it's something to me
Have a cup of my tea, all the suckers should leave
Baby, I'm no sucker, I'm free
Age is numbers to me
You send a picture, I send a picture, that's comforting me
Star gets lonely at night, only if moments are right
We just can't get enough of us, this is our night
The moon is saying something to us, at all times bright
Her eyes say it all, lips are the softest
Let's go in the wind and get driven by the forces
[Verse 5]
Do you remember me?
Just lay in the wind and get driven by the forces
Do you remember me?
Ms. Hilary
Do you remember me?
[Verse 6]
I'm going overseas
Come fly with me, I'll give you all
I'm going overseas
Come fly with me, I'll give you all
I'll give you all, my dear
[Verse 7]
I ache for you, this heart of mine
Don't be afraid to crack a smile, my dear
Oh, she said to me, what a tragedy
Live happily in life throughout the years
[Verse 8]
I ache for you, this heart of mine
Don't be afraid to crack a smile, my dear
Oh, he said to me, what a tragedy
Live happily in life throughout the years
[Verse 9]
I'm going overseas
Come fly with me, I'll give you all
I'll give you all, my dear
I'm going overseas
Come fly with me, I'll give you all
