Labyrinth

I really don’t know what to say
Been on this case for a couple of days
And when I get close
It slips away
Like the waves on the sand
My sense of duty is wearing thin
I don’t where I should begin
Or where to turn to look again

Two
Three
Four
Where’s the key I’m searching for?

Zwei
Drei
Vier
What’s that word I long to hear?

I really don’t know what to say
Been on this trace for a couple of days
And  when I get close it slips away
Like your hair through my fingers
My patience is wearing thin
I don’t know where to move my men
Or when to turn the clock again

I want to plant my feet on solid soil
I want fair return for my toil
This delay makes my blood boil

I really don’t know what to do
Everywhere I look I miss the clue
This labyrinth riddles you
