Текст песни Sting - Forget About The Future

I know we got some history

We got some issues that we need to solve

But is it really such a mystery?

It's just the way that the world evolves

Let me ask you for forgiveness baby

My heart is ever full of sorrow

We got to move into the future maybe

And think about a new tomorrow


She said you know I used to love you baby

But you're thinking way too fast

So forget about the future

And let's get on with the past.


So they called a 'nited Nations summit

To negotiate for peace on Earth

And it may idealistic baby

But I know what peace of mind is worth

Everybody aired their grievances

And they threw away the suture

They opened up all the wounds of the past

As they failed to find their way to the future


They said we'd better check the weather chart

Before we tie our colors to this mast

And it's too hard thinking about the future baby

So let's just get on with the past


She said we'd better check the horoscope honey

Just in case this feeling wasn't meant to last

It's just too hard thinking about the future

So let's just get on with the past


How many times you ever hear me say

I'm as flawed as any other human being?

But there simply has to be a different way

A whole new way of seeing

Are we doomed by all our history

Is our love really beyond repair?

But it's getting close to midnight baby

And we ain't got time to spare


Just when I think I'm home and dry

And she's given up the fight

There's an unmistakable optimism

In romantic music and candlelight

But there's this lingering perfume

The merest ghost of the past

She says now wait a minute baby

We're moving way too fast

We'd better check the weather chart

Before we raise this mast

We'd best consult our horoscope

In case this feeling wasn't meant to last

Let's just forget about the future

And get on with the past
