In vain, again and again
I missed the train,
Stood in the rain,
Falling in big drops, running down the drain

I used to run,
And danced for fun
Stood in the sun
When my life had just begun
All this have I done

Now I walk,
Constructively talk,
While other guys come and stalk

Here I stand
My heart in my hand
Chasing shadows without end

And once I’d been there
I give it more care.
And feel the flair
Of independence in the air

What else can I do,
I’m still into you,
How can I get through
No rescue’s in view.
