Life 
It slips right by you 
Your dreams 
All left behind you 
It's cold 
And rain is falling 
lonely 
Day is dawning 

oh oh oh oh 
Green eyed taxi rescue me 
oh oh oh oh 
Cause I'm half the man I used to be 
oh oh oh oh 
All of the loves I threw away 
oh oh oh oh 
And now my skies are turning gray 

Love 
The great surrender 
Her arms 
So warm and tender 
The high life 
That you followed 
Has left you 
Sad and hollow
