| Lyrics:Carly Simon Music:Carly Simon | |
| I was his foreigner | |
| And he was mine. | |
| We ate on terraces | |
| And drank the cheapest wine. | |
| And he believed in me | |
| Down by the serpentine. | |
| How was I to know | |
| it was the best thing | |
| To come along for a long time. | |
| I turned the page | |
| And saw three children with smiles. | |
| I looked to see | |
| What I could make of the youngest child. | |
| And as she blew the candles out | |
| She turned five. | |
| How was I to know | |
| It was the best thing | |
| To come along for a long time. | |
| What do the people at the end of the world do | |
| About time? What about time? | |
| Their secret sleeps with me. |
