All In Vain

Strawbs - All In Vain



The open book

The telephone

The tangled line

The broken bone

The monkey man

The golden locks

Forget me not

The money box



Please don't break my heart again

I looked for all

But all in vain



The willing crew

The even keel

The sharpened knife

The grinding wheel

The jealous wife

The binding trust

Forget me not

The cut and thrust



You tore my heart out in the rain

I looked for all

But all in vain

A damaged heart can feel no pain

I looked for all

But all in vain



The miner's luck

The mother lode

The gambling man

The master code

The knowing more

The caring less

Forget me not

The emptiness



We took the vows but few remain

I looked for all

But all in vain

Please don't break my heart again

I looked for all

But all in vain

You tore my heart out in the rain

I looked for all

But all in vain

Please don't break my heart again

I looked for all

But all in vain
