IN VAIN

 

THE LEAVES ARE FALLING
THE PAST IS CALLING
ME BACK AGAIN
EVERY NOW AND THEN
MY TEARS ARE FLOWING
MY HEART IS SHOWING
ON MY SLEEVE
AS IT BEGINS TO BLEED

AND WHEN I’M RUNNING IN THE RAIN
AND I’M DEALING WITH THE PAIN
SOMEHOW I THINK IT WILL REMAIN
BUT IT’S ALL IN VAIN

THE CHANGE IS COMING
THE RAIN IS FALLING
DOWN ON ME
AND IT MAKES ME SEE
THE MUSIC’S PLAYING
THE WORDS I’M SAYING
ARE FOR YOUR EARS
BUT NO ONE REALLY HEARS

AND WHEN THEY’RE PULLING ON YOUR CHAIN
THEY TRY TO MAKE YOU PLAY THE GAME
SOMEHOW YOU KNOW THAT IT’S INSANE
CAUSE IT’S ALL IN VAIN

THE BIRDS ARE SINGING
THE BELLS ARE RINGING
IN MY HEAD
IT’S JUST THE WAY YOU SAID
YOUR FEELING DOUBTFUL
YOU SAID A MOUTHFUL
I AGREE
IT’S REALLY SAD TO SEE

AND WHEN YOUR RUNNING IN THE RAIN
AND YOUR DEALING WITH THE PAIN
SOMEHOW YOU THINK IT WILL REMAIN
BUT IT’S ALL IN VAIN
