Along the avenue of hope

The footsteps falter, the fingers grope

and days, stretch out, beneath the sun

No-one's born, and no-one dies, no-one lives, so no-one cries

and we wait to see just what we will become



Don't let me falter, don't let me ride

Don't let the earth in me subside

Let me see just who I will become



You're like the clouds in my home town

You just grow fat and hang around

and you're days stretch out beneath the sun



and you don't live, you don't die, you don't love so you don't cry

and we wait, to see just what we will become



Don't let me borrow, don't let me bring

Don't let me wallow, don't make me sing

Let me see just who I will becomee



Don't let me falter, don't let me hide

Don't let someone else decide

Just who or what I will become



Don't let them borrow, don't let them bring

Don't let them wallow, don't make them sing
