The bus going the other way stopped by me.
But the one I wanted to get on didn’t stop by.
I am sure gonna miss the man I set out to see.
And where no one stops, I am standing alone.
All of a sudden it stopped in the middle.
I found myself stuck in the lift for a while.
I am gonna miss the one waiting down there for me.
And where nothing moves, I am standing still.
With a beep of relief it came to life.
It’s a call from unknown number.
Before I could answer, it went dead again.
With a phone to which no one wants to call, I am standing silent.
After an hour of wait, it rang to my delight.
I rushed to open the door for my sweet heart.
Just to see a rat disappearing into the drain.
And at the door which no one knocks at, I am standing single.
Praying, I turned the key for a final try.
Thank god, the car let out a starting cry!
Only to break down in its usual way.
And on the road where no one treads, I’m standing lost.
I punched the button hard and entered the secret code,
Trusting the only ATM in a boundless stretch of sand,
Out came a bit of paper saying I was out of balance.
And where life is so far off, I’m standing for nothing.
