Have you told him all about your dreams, have you told him what your goal is?
And that you might leave with the morning train, if the world’s closing in?
Did he stutter or did he laugh, was his reaction what you expected, were there questions ´bout your past or didn’t he even care?
I could never come across as wise or sincere, and I would never worry ´bout tomorrow.
The chili winter came and it took us by surprise, and you got those wrinkles round your eyes.
Have you told him all about your fears, have you told him what what really scares you?
..to end up alone or get stuck in someone else’s dreams.
But the dream I had wasn’t mine alone, you filled in more than just the blanks.
And by the way I stole this song and I’ll never give it back.
I could never come across as wise or sincere, and I still never worry ´bout tomorrow.
But the chili winter came and it took us both by surprise. Now it’s been a while since you occupied my mind.
