lyrics

We did nothing at all to help you
We did nothing at all
Staring, polite and kind, is only a measure if you mean it

I regret nothing at all, I mean it
I regret nothing at all
But did I mean it, father, was I mean to you?
Did I mean it, father, was I mean to you?

All of my friends have gone walkabout
They got together then they broke apart
All of my friends, I think that they've walked out
And I've talked myself out of calling after them

At first light stumble and fall, at first light
The next step a gambler's house for one
The moment you blink your eyes and all of a sudden
You're alone, shiver in the night and nobody answers their phone

It's a bitter realisation
That the best you can do is sit and stare
And you can read that the best is yet to come
But if time keeps this still it'll never reach me
Never reach me here

And all of my friends have gone walkabout
They got together then they broke apart
All of my friends, I think that they've walked out
And I've talked myself out of calling after them
Of calling after them

All of my friends have gone walkabout
They got together then they broke apart
All of my friends, I think that they've walked out
And I've talked myself out of calling after them
