(Colin Hay / Michael Georgiades)
You’re telling me that Detroit’s growing over
You’re telling me nothing stays the same
I walk at dawn by the white cliffs of Dover
I’m coming home across that sea of pain
And we can listen to one another’s song
We can fix, we can fix whatever’s wrong
And baby, we can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
You’re telling me that the whole world’s in trouble
Too many madmen have had their way
We’re just two tears or else we’re just two rubble
I’m buying time to fight for one more day
We’ve both been slaves to destroy and recover
How many years does it take to discover?
Baby, we can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
Uh-huh
As you slide in between all the covers
And whisper to me that if Detroit can recover
Baby, we can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
Yeah, we can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
Yeah, we can love again
Just breathe and count to ten
Yeah, we can love again
