So don't try to make me worry
Don't try to make me hurry
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me

So don't try to make me run
For the false starting gun
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me

Trying to make me run now for that midnight train
Just 'cos I'm standing here in the rain
Tryin' to tell me, making out you're about to go free

My clothes they may be torn
And my shoes they may be worn
No this is something she cares not to see
You can't take that away from me

And once I was scared this race would leave me behind
Now I'm stronger each day and it occurs to me
That it's all a state of mind

So don't try to make me run
For the false starting gun
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me
