Dusty Springfield — I Start Counting lyrics

Lyrics

This year, next year
Sometime never
Paper dreams tied up With bits of string
Darkness comes
Flowers grow
No-one knows
I start counting
I start counting
Sitting by myself in a secret
Chasing thoughts through rainbows in my mind, yeah
Changing time
Tomorrow’s dream
In between
I start counting
Counting, yes I do Counting, counting, counting, counting, counting
Ooh-hoo-oo, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve etc.
