Trying To Get To You Lyrics - Next Year People - Colin Hay

Trying to take that midnight train 

But it's gone and broken down again 

Now I'm stuck on Empty Avenue 

Trying to get to you 

Talking on the telephone 

Only makes me feel more alone 

Killing time with a chosen few 

Trying to get to you 

In this world of constant danger 

I still look for kindness in strangers 

And why oh why and why is not enough 

And we cry oh cry our tears are not enough 

Through firestorms and hurricanes 

I'm 16 hours on an airplane 

10 thousand miles of ocean view 

Trying to get to you 

In this world of constant danger 

I still look for kindness in strangers 

And why oh why and why is not enough 

And we cry oh cry our tears are not enough 

Walking through the driving rain 

Just the thought of you remains 

Lines are down I can't get through 

Trying to get to you 

Lines are down I can't get through 

Trying to get to you
