YOU WROTE:
alone
Can you believe the journey to prague including check in was shorter than my commute to work? Prague is a very beautiful city, cold but beautiful...the castle with its cathedral, charles bridge with all the saints either side, the jewish quarter with its centuries old graveyard and synogogues ( not to mention the delicious little designer boutiques) and the old town square where i spent most of my holiday wandering round bundled up in winter outfits looking at the marionettes and listening to the jazz bands. Sitting out under one of the marquis tents from my favourite cafe warmed by the many braziers drinking hot chocolate laced with rum or coffee librally infused with whisky all for medicinal purposes ( wards off frostbite and the boogie man ). It was while i was sat curled up in one of the cafes big armchairs with my book and "tasse kafe " under the brazier watching the snow fall.. ( how sureal to be out in the snow with no coat on sat reading ) when it hit me just how utterly alone i was....no one was there soaking up the atmosphere with me, no-one to turn to and say " how wonderful its snowing " ....in a town square full of people i was alone , in a crowd full of people i felt like the lonliest person there .
just why I stayed around
When all I found was a heartache
I believed your every word
Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make
But why did it take so long
Alas, now I've seen the light
I found the heart to say
No more the fool
Who waits around
Waitin' for you to bring me down
Those days are gone now
No more the nights
Layin' awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break
No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I'm waitin' around
No more the fool
You thought I'd break
Then you were wrong
That I wouldn't see what's goin' on
But I knew
Here I am
I'm alive
And you'll see I'll survive
Without you
And I won't be the one who comes runnin'
It ain't like it used to be
It's your turn to run to me
No more the fool ...
All the nights I waited for you to call
I waited for a sign that you would stay
But it's so clear
You didn't care at all
No more the fool
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
