[Verse 1]
It's time to move along
And leave the past behind me
My heart was like a stone
But now it's beating brightly

[Chorus]
The past's a foreign land, I did my best, you understand

[Verse 2]
Beneath the moon and stars
I loved her most profoundly
I wandered in the night
But now I'm sleeping soundly

[Chorus]
The past's a foreign land, I did my best, you understand
The past's a foreign land, I did my best, you understand

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
The past's a foreign land, I did my best, you understand
The past's a foreign land, I did my best, you understand

[Instrumental]
