Living at speed
It's so hard, turns a year to days
The things that I need
It's so sad, but they will always change
So when you call my name
And the answer's not the same
Hold back the tears
The tears
Oh, it's raining
Though water's pouring down my face
There's no complaining
We must find another place
So when you're on your own
And you can't even telephone
Hold back the tears
I see your faces
I'll never see them again
The only traces
A single colour, you're in a frame
In a frame
So when you're on your own
Remeber we're all alone
And hold back the tears
