On Easy Terms
From "Blood Brothers" by Andrew Lloyd Webber

John once thought he was Roman.
He loved Marlena completely...it was so easy for him.
Little did he know that in one of those days
the real Roman will come back.
He never thought that his love for Marlena
was alive on borrowed time.
This is his song:

Only mine until
The times comes round
To pay the bill
Than I am afraid
What can’t be paid
Must be returned
You never, ever learn
That nothing is yours
On easy terms...

Only for a time
I must not learn
To call you mine
Family rise
Those face...those eyes...
Make future plans
That can not be confirmed
On borrowed time
On easy terms...

Living on the never never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure...who’s at the door
Or the price I’ll have to pay...

Should we meet again?
I wouldn’t recognize your name
You can be sure
What’s gone before
Will be concealed
Your friends will never learn
That once we were
On easy terms...

Living on the never never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure...who’s at the door
Or the price I’ll have to pay...

Should we meet again?
