Tracie Lyrics by Level 42

Tracie

Steppin' out from underneath my shadow

Walking home from Fridays nine to five.
Rememberin' the long way way round the meadow

The one we used to take from time to time.
I thought about you

How you must have changed now
baby
far away from me

How I used to savour all your kisses
Where no one else could see.

Exchanging knowing glances across the schoolroom

Dreamin' of a love down by the sea.
Changing plans to cover up for one another

Working on our secret fantasy.
But now as I walk down the road to your house
baby

No one there but me.
How I wish that I could steal your kisses
Just as they used to be.

Tracie
where are you now
girl?
I don't know why this feeling's so strong.
Tracie
where have you been

You know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong.

Countin' by the street lights to the phone box
Where we used to meet before the dawn.
Smokin' on the top floor of the scholl bus

Promising the moon as we rode along.
But now If I saw you across a crowded dance floor
Or somewhere in the town

Would you show me what I have been missing
And spin me round and round?

Tracie
where are you now
girl?...

'Cause deep inside from some other place
I turn to find we're there face to face.
We laugh
we cry
we work and we play


Tracie
where are you now
girl?
Tracie
where are you now
girl?
