You're The Heroine

The Sun beats down on another endless traffic jam

And I think again, what is the point of this?

My eyes are sore and my hands are fists

But then we start to move and I ease my grip

And those dark thoughts begin to slip

And as the traffic picks up speed

There's just one thing I need

Dearest, you're my heroine

That's when you're my heroine

So I'm standing here on a busy street

I've got things to do, people to meet

And the rushing crowd is pressing on all sides

But suddenly they disappear

And I think again, what am I doing here?

I've got one real destination

One place I want to be

Dearest, you're my heroine

That's when you're the heroine

And I'm going up in a skyscraper of glass and steel

Down there people come and go, almost too small to see

And in an hour or two I'll be one of them, nowhere to go, no-one to see

And though the clock ticks down relentlessly it' still too slow for me

Dearest, you're my heroine

That's when you're the heroine

When the time comes 'round, it's getting dark

And the push and shove has made its mark

And I'm worn out, feeling black and blue

But the stars still shine on the darkest nights

To me they seem so very bright

Until the rescue comes I'm holding on and I'm holding tight

Dearest, you're my heroine

That's when you're the heroine

Dearest, you're my heroine

That's when you're the heroine
