lyrics

Well as soon as you're born your heart is torn
You smell the rose, can't see the thorn
slowly reveal its face and leave you blue
Were you searchin' for love, for power or wealth?
Somehow you always find yourself
falling asleep, soon as your dream comes true

When the treasure you dug so deep to find
suddenly loses all its shine and you can't see
the jewels dangling over you
Then you'll ask yourself what this journey's for, where you can't taste the spoils of love or war now you're lying asleep, soon as your dream comes true

You'd better leave me on this boundless train
I'm slipping on my rambling shoes again
Have I been spending all your love in vain?
No station could my heart sustain.

Cos I've been moving too fast to make things last
The future's as good as in the past for a rat on a wheel
running his whole life through
Now there's a hole in the sky where the angels cry
a tear for each wasted day gone by while you were
lying asleep, soon as your dream came true.

You'd better leave me on this boundless train
I'm slipping on my rambling shoes again
Have I been spending all your love in vain?
No stations could my heart sustain.

Have I been spending all your love in vain?
