All In Vain
All in Vain
Written by John C. David
Verse
Kept walking pretty and straight
Hitched a ride all over town
Board a bus to the watery site
Set sail on a sunny afternoon
​
Bridge
Sure hope to reach you before
The night sky wipes out the
Shine on the ground
Leaving silent trail behind
Climbing over rocks and valleys
Soaring high into space
Over mountains and through the clouds
To get you nearer to me
​
Chorus
Crossed the ocean all in vain
When she waived her final goodbye
Felt my heart rip in pain
Refrain
#Ears glued now to the radio
Fixed my eyes on the TV shows
Dread the thought of being all alone
Before the ringing of the telephone
Threw my money at the racecourse
Longed for my little pink rose#
Bridge
Sure hope to reach you before
The night sky wipes out the
Shine on the ground
Leaving silent trail behind
Climbing over rocks and valleys
Soaring high into space
Over mountains and through the clouds
To get you nearer to me
​
Chorus
Crossed the ocean all in vain
When she waived her final goodbye
Felt my heart rip in pain
Refrain
#Ears glued now to the radio
Fixed my eyes on the TV shows
Dread the thought of being all alone
Before the ringing of the telephone
Threw my money at the racecourse
Longed for my little pink rose#
