I came to shine a light, I came to shine a light
but I lost my faith tonight, I lost my faith tonight

I came to beat a path, I came to beat a path
but the weeds have grown too fast, the weeds have grown too fast

I watch the shadows fall, hear you whisper through the wall...

Softly, softly, catchee monkey - I'm taking my time
Write me, call me, when you're hungry - throw me a line
When you getting in touch?

As the old defences fall, I see you creeping down the hall...

Softly, softly, catchee monkey - I'm taking my time
Write me, call me, when you're hungry - throw me a line
When you getting in touch?

Don't kick away the chair, leave me hanging in the air...

Softly, softly, catchee monkey - I'm taking my time
Write me, call me, when you're hungry - throw me a line
When you getting in touch?

Softly, softly, catchee monkey - I'm taking my time
Write me, call me, when you're hungry - throw me a line
When you getting in touch?
