With the few hundred Escudos he had left He bought local, low nicotine cigarettes Stood by the window and watched the smoke of the jets… He leaned between the European winters And the warmth of the African sun Touched a small piece of heaven with his little thumb He had come to conquer the world With his dreams and his music and his words And the gift of the watch on his wrist said: Time is all that you have… Two hours and forty minutes from Lisbon The future is blown by the windmills And soon you'll be home with the people you know in Amsterdam… He thought of his home by the bay Where the sea was just a stone-throw away And the future seemed like a pane of glass he couldn't see through… do you?

And he looked through the window and noticed – the sun had gone down…way down The mountains lay covered in snow But the cameras zoomed in so low And the incident went down in history as one of the worst the world had ever known They found the debris of the wreck And a burnt pack of Portuguese cigarettes And a letter in a post-box which read: 'I feel so alone… baby, come home!' He had left to conquer the world With his dreams, his music and his words And the gift of the watch on his wrist said: Time is all that you have... (Use it wisely, my friend) Thirty seven minutes from Lisbon The future is still blown through the windmills And now you are back with the people you love in Amsterdam…
