Lyrics

She was a lover of the fast lane
When she was younger than yourself
And when she took off on the last plane
She said she'd come back in good health
She didn't know what she was after
Or what she tried to leave behind
She couldn't say what she was after
New love was the last thing on her mind

She is a Child of Tomorrow
Has no need for yesterday
There is a road that she must follow
Before the feeling slips away
Some say she courts disaster
As she roams so far from her homeland
She couldn't know what would come after
New love was the next card in her hand

Now I'm a Child of Tomorrow
Have no need for yesterday
There is a road that I must follow
Before the feeling slips away
And I don't know what I am after
Or what I try to leave behind
I couldn't say just what I'm after
New love is the last thing on my mind

I hope she sees the stars above her
Just like she used to as a child
I hope she feels the high winds love her
Blowing 'cross the dusty miles
We never knew what we were after
Or what we tried to leave behind
We couldn't say what we were after
New love comes when it's the last thing on your mind (x2)
