Always with that role to play<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never have to learn the lines<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same old same old every time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing new under the sun<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019d think the world would tire soon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it keeps spinning round and round<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And here I am stuck as the fool<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always close but never there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like horseshoes and hand grenades<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Almost but not quite with it all<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just out of my reach again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here come the tippy toes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe if I stretch just right<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can, for a moment, feel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What it\u2019d be to have you close<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it\u2019s not mine to have so much<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I walk away again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those lines no longer need rehearsed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They spill forth so readily<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t even have to look<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the leading man walks in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right on cue to steal away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I\u2019d give it all to have<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the curtain falls once more<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All to start again anew<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another chapter, the same verse<\/p>\n\n\n\n
