It's funny how when you stop a while
these roots grow around your feet
and soon you're walking round and looking down
at the same old dirty streets
and you don't have time to stop and talk
because you're already running late
you've got to understand, I'm a busy man
I've got so much on my plate
but lately I just keep on dreaming of trains
and lost highways and open seas and towns with exotic names
where the sun shines down on a sea of faces
that I've never seen before
and walking through another open door
sometimes you lose perspective
on what matters in the end
and little problems seem so big
and the telephone rings again
and you're sitting in the middle
of all the things you have to do
and it gets so easy to forget
that outside the sky is blue
but lately I just keep on dreaming of trains
and lost highways and open seas and towns with exotic names
where the sun shines down on a sea of faces
that I've never seen before
and walking through another open door
