I really do appreciate
your decision to give me a ride.
It's the night and it's too late!
 
Why are you asking me at all,
what's up with me.
Just keep on driving!

 
I don't have relatives,
and I'm going nowhere.
I've been studying troubles all my life!
 
I don't have any luggage,
and I'm carrying just one picture with me!
You're offering me a drink? No, thanks!

I'm trying to be silent,
I'm trying not to speak.
'cause if I start talking,
no one will respect me any more!
 
I'm not speaking,
what am I supposed to say?
Why are you taking hitch-hikers at all?

 
You gave me a dusty
mile of hope.
But you want all in return!
 
My heart is broken
into a thousand pieces!
And you don't spare me at all!
