I’m sitting in an empty room again
The days keep getting shorter
The nights tell me I’m alone
I listen to the howling of the wind
The weather’s getting colder now
The summer is growing old
The barricades I throw up now and then
I didn’t get your message
I got somewhere to go
Yesterday you were my only friend
And we took it all for granted
But can you ever really know?
CHORUS:
Staring into the headlights
Frozen stiff at the sight of the train
Headed right for me hauling dynamite
On either side my barricades
My head is always in some other place
I’m standing right beside you
But I’m nowhere to be found
Then I decide to leave without a trace
You’ll never see it coming
You’ll never hear a sound
Broken by that look upon your face
I hate to see you weeping
But I cannot tell a lie
I never can surrender from the chase
I’m running down tomorrow
While today just passed me by
