Should've took him to the top
But every light was red, every sign said stop
Just like a fan, just like glue to the stuff
As we were sleeping in the noonday sun
He escaped the test and the marathon run
And nobody heard Alfie's muffled cries
Oh, Alfie, it put a stop to that
Oh, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back
'Cause although it's hard, we might have made it through
But now there's nothing left except the memories of you
The river flowing both awoke us
As we went fighting to the top of the stairs
To fight for Alfie and a bloodstained letter
Don't count the change and don't look for pay
It's a fair exchange for the last adventure I had there
As we were sleeping in the noonday sun
He escaped the test and the marathon run
And nobody heard Alfie's muffled cries
Oh, Alfie, it put a stop to that
Oh, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back
'Cause although it's hard, we might have made it through
But now there's nothing left except the memories of you
Oh, Alfie, it put a stop to that
Oh, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back
I wish you'd please come back
Oh, Alfie
