The man finds himself alone for the first time in his life

He's always got a problem, he's got to work it out wrong or right

He's got to work it out, he's so lonely in the night

He's got to work it all alone



Now who in the world would believe that he's got another trick up his sleeve

And who in the world wants to know which way should he go

Which way should he turn? Which way should he learn?

Which day should he stop? Which way to the top?



I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then

I still can recall when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all



This living on his own has turned his heart to stone and it's all pain

He sits out on his own and eats his heart out alone in the pouring rain

Now who in the world would have know

That just a few years ago his love could have grown and grown



Through the rain, the sleet and snow

But the rain, the sleet and snow chills the heart and kills the soul

So the let the cold winds blow

What he doesn't see he doesn't know



I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then

I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all



I remember it still, I always will when we were friends way back then

I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

He said, "Watch out for the danger"

He said, "Watch out"



The man is a winner for the first time in his life

He looks a little thinner but he says "Hey that doesn't matter"

But if you look closely

You'll see a cold smug self-satisfactory smile behind



And now that he has won it doesn't matter how or which way it was done

Now that he's in control, revenge is in his heart and soul

The power is at his fingertips, vengeance is on his lips

But the power he fought to control now has got him in its grips



I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then

I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all



I remember it still, I always will when we were friends way back then

I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all



I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then

But now we're all grown up and we're strangers

You see, bit by bit, part by part, we slipped and slipped

Till we'd grown apart and now we're strangers
