There are things that no one can deny Life is short and quickly passes by Thoughts are formed, problems ironed out Guilt and worry soon become regret Then there is a time for reasoning Hours fly by ruminating What you saw can't be what it was Where are the dreams you struggled for? I thought you'd understand Taken by the hand Here then something changes You've taken a little of my life Thrown it down before my eyes Grilled it and criticized Ever the wiser Emotions and pleasure From that second it tears you to go I would answer Each question they'd ask me Always taking interesting roads Easily please them with banter I'd tease them and Invitations ensued I'll never know why I'd taken the last train that evening I should have just gone straight home Didn't they know why the signal had changed? Didn't they know why the signal had changed? Didn't they know why? Didn't they know why? Didn't they know why the signal had changed? There was a man standing on the forecourt of a railway station Waving his arms, trying to catch your attention He waited outside your window as you got up this morning Signaling like a fool, trying to make contact In the hope to avoid the catastrophe that awaits you He now sits incapacitated on the curb outside your work Wondering why he was ever given the job to pre-warn you Some say he is an angel A personal semaphore I believe He's a figment of your imagination
