i wanted to go
but i had to stick around
almost had it licked
but did not quite make it

i forget who i was
i forgot who i had become
the act seems to falter for a few seconds

i watched the television last night
my eyes watched the pictures
but my mind was sneaking off with you
i have spent a lifetime listening to lectures

once upon a time you were mine
two people caught in the rain
running down the window pane
i wonder what happened?
i wonder why is it not the same

i am feeling alone
i have got your number
but i am fed up of hanging on a telephone
could stop the rain, make it summer?

when you chase your dreams
i hope you catch them
you certainly deserve to

it is quite plain
it is somewhere out there
keeping a check on my name
