I'm not used to being high every time But it comes back eventually I may tell you that I'm fine And it'll be my only saying Once or twice a day I see (Once or twice a day I see) The way she keeps running (Where is she heading, my dear?) I'll be stuck in this procedure (Inside and out) Held back from this race Oh, I must say goodbye To a friend I hold dear And maybe now's the time I begin the life-long chasing Early morning in the spring Getting harder to leave my bed All has been a longing daydream Didn't know what it meant Sugar coaters at its best (Sugar coaters at its best) And a hundred different more (Won't you just tell me why?) Who has put me to the test (Put to the test) Not knowing what for Oh, I must say goodbye To a friend I hold dear And maybe now's the time I begin the life-long chasing Come mend my paper heart (Paper heart) As it's creasing once more (Creasing again) My darling, Madeleine I'll be running for you (I will be running for you)
