I’ve been a runner
And I’ve been a dreamer
A Hollywood schemer and a fool
A loser and a winner
But seldom a sinner
A man who has played by the rules
But something has happened
I lost my direction
Alone in my bedroom I lie
And now in the evening
I sit by the window
And silently stare at the sky
Off in the distance
And over the river
Asleep at the end of her day
A night in the city
With never a silence
I know that she likes it that way
The times I remember
When we were together
Have somehow been left in the past
I couldn’t believe when
I found myself leaving
I always had thought it would last
Now when I’m driving
I listen to music
The classical kind
Sweet and low
I darkness I ride
With nothing inside
And searching for somewhere to go
In Boston I called you
I’ve no one to talk to
I always was talking to her
I’m glad you were home
And could answer the phone
I only could hope that you were
But I didn’t tell you
How bad I was feeling
And you were too drunk to care
But what can you do
When your friend is your lover
And suddenly she isn’t there
Now when I’m driving
I listen to music
The classical kind
Sweet and low
I darkness I ride
With nothing inside
And searching for somewhere to go
I’ve been a runner
And I’ve been a dreamer
A Hollywood schemer and a fool
A loser and a winner
But seldom a sinner
A man who has played by the rules
But something has happened
I lost my direction
Alone in my bedroom I lie
And now in the evening
I sit by the window
And silently stare at the sky
