Lyrics

Life, it's a long way away

Life, life is just a walk away

Life, Life, I think it's only a walk away

Life, I don't wanna get down at all

Life, life, it's just a walk away


You've got me falling in love for a second time

If you go all day long

You'll probably find me crying on your shoulder

That's what I'd really like to do

Life, life, I don't wanna get down at all

Life, life, it's just a walk away


Life, life, just a walk away


Life, life, just a walk away
