Helsinki in the afternoon
Recalling all the times that you have moved
Warsaw to England and back again
You seemed happiest when you were leavin'
We both had a broken heart or two
So we shed a little light in the afternoon
Your stories they all rang true
It seemed much the same for me and you
You told me you've been missing home
Your mother's voice and your father's songs
Your cottage out there in the woods
You'd make a quiet life there if you could
And I couldn't blame you for wanting that
We all want something that we can't have
Let's drink the well dry while we can
Cause pretty soon I'll be leaving
It's farewell now to old Finland town
I'm sure someday I'll be coming around
To see your smiling face again
Well I know its you I'll be missing
I know its you I'll be missing
