I  should have known  you'd bid  me farewell,
 There's a lesson to be learned  from this and I've
learned  it very well.
Now  I know you're not  the only starfish  in the sea,
 If I never  hear your name  again, it's all  the same to  me.
And  I think it's gonna be all right, yeah,
 the worst is over now..
 The morning  sun is shining like a red  rubber ball.
You  never cared  for secrets  I'd confide.
 For you I'm just an ornament, something  for your pride.
Always  running, never  caring, that's  the life you live.
Stolen  minutes of  your time were all  you had to give.
And  I think it's gonna be all right, yeah,
 the worst is over now..
 The morning  sun is shining like a red  rubber ball.
 The story's  in the past,  with nothing  to recall,
 I've got my life to live  and I don't  need you at all.
 The roller-coaster ride  we took is nearly  at an end,
 I bought  my ticket with  my tears, that's all  I'm gonna
spend.
And  I think it's gonna be all right, yeah,
 the worst is over now..
 The morning  sun is shining like a red  rubber ball..Whoooaa,  ohhh, ohhh..
And  I think it's gonna be all right, yeah,
 the worst is over now..
 The morning  sun is shining like a red  rubber ball.
 A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
