Stood upon a hill Watched the world turning all around of me Asked of myself, what am I going to do Recognised the signs, haunted and familiar Feel like I'm spinning out of control It's just the way that it goes
Stood upon the shore Felt the waves sapping all my energy Dragging me down and swept out to sea Never to return To the times of wasted opportunity Launching the boat that's bound to go down That's just the way things go round
In a dream I saw the way on the haze of a distant horizon Clearly into view Through the clouds the rays of light broke the dawn of realizing Starting something new
Riding on a wave Surfing on and crashing to oblivion, Washed up on shore and hung out to dry Caught a fleeting glimpse Where I want my life to be Just can't believe it cannot be so That's just the way that it goes
In my mind I visualised the road I want to travel Clear and straight and true In my head I knew the way how the problems would unravel Leading somewhere new
One dream, the end of the rainbow Pot of gold or pie in the sky So complete in so many ways But maybe you'll never know why Heaven help that stupid dreamer Foolishly he wished on that star So much love but strange complications I wish I could see where you are
