The Sun beats down on another endless traffic jam
And I think again, what is the point of this?
My eyes are sore and my hands are fists

But then we start to move and I ease my grip
And those dark thoughts begin to slip
And as the traffic picks up speed
There's just one thing I need

Dearest, you're my heroine
That's when you're my heroine

So I'm standing here on a busy street
I've got things to do, people to meet
And the rushing crowd is pressing on all sides

But suddenly they disappear
And I think again, what am I doing here?
I've got one real destination
One place I want to be

Dearest, you're my heroine
That's when you're the heroine

And I'm going up in a skyscraper of glass and steel
Down there people come and go, almost too small to see
And in an hour or two I'll be one of them, nowhere to go, no-one to see
And though the clock ticks down relentlessly it' still too slow for me

Dearest, you're my heroine
That's when you're the heroine

When the time comes 'round, it's getting dark
And the push and shove has made its mark
And I'm worn out, feeling black and blue

But the stars still shine on the darkest nights
To me they seem so very bright
Until the rescue comes I'm holding on and I'm holding tight

Dearest, you're my heroine
That's when you're the heroine

Dearest, you're my heroine
That's when you're the heroine
