when i spent my time elsewhere
i was in a land of dreamers
the sidewalks didnt speak and i didn't reply
i found everything in it's place
still waters, still weather
and still the sun shined on and on

when i spent my time upstream
i met a man who travelled back in time
stole the speech from the beggers
'cause he's living just fine

and when i spent my time home sick
i felt the needs of few and far between
only there is no hope
