Lived in Vain - Colin Hay

Walking with a crowded head

From nightmares of drinking

So I don’t believe in every dream

Or everything I’m thinking

Hey can’t you see just a little bit before you leave

Hey can’t you leave a little taste just for me

It’s not easy to explain

A life you think is lived in vain

Like a twisted wind that’s bearing down

That rearranges

Blowing through these prison bars

Of our imaginary cages

Hey can’t you see just a little bit before you leave

Hey can’t you leave a little taste just for me

It’s not easy to explain

A life you think is lived in vain

Waiting for my second spring

Where I’m connecting everything

No fixed address or destination

No more lines of separation

Where only love

Only love

Only love

And love is real

Nothing’s bad and nothing’s good and nothing changes

Day by day one by one I just turn the pages

Hey can’t you leave just a little light to shine on me

Hey can’t you leave a little light so I can see

It’s not easy to explain

A life you think is lived in vain
