Just a simple guy
Trying so hard to be useful
But he's just getting annoyed
Says: If the joy of work
Is the one joy we've been given
Then I have surely been blessed with joy
And the everyday girl
Longing all year for the summer
But each day is just fall
Says: If the rising sun
Is the one true hope we've been given
Then the sunset defies it all
And there you go,
Searching for my faults and fallacies
You think: This forgives it all
And I remain,
A victim of my hopes and yearnings
I think: She doesn't hear me call
– hear me call
It's a working life
Even though some nights are starstruck
Most days are gloomy and grey
And they have a choice
The road leads strictly one way
No matter what they want, or say
And here I stand
Waiting for you to fulfil your promises
You say: I promised nothing at all
And there you are,
Browsing through your calendar
I say: There is no time left,
– no time at all
