Idol Songtext
von Martin Newell

There were candles in the park
Someone whistling in the dark
We were younger then, what could we do
But to wait for you?
In the cold November night
Someone swore they saw a light
But we looked again and it was gone
Then the time rolled on

But where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
And how were you?


When they put away your paper crown
And the band broke down
As the circus left the town

Well, here′s the news from way down here
More predictable each year
Someone made some money, lost some love
And the world needs a shove
They still keep a light for you
Have since 1962
One day soon someone may come along
Who can sing that song

But where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
And how were you?


When they put away your paper crown
And the band broke down
As the circus left the town
