A nine days' wonder looking back
As the sun goes down
As time goes by a sketch of life
On the wall worn out
One day she said in the usual tone
That I don't shine anymore ["That light don't shine anymore"?]
So I laughed and said "Can you bring it back?"
She stands alone watching the leaves fall
So many places, so many ways
There's no way home, nowhere I belong
So many faces fade away
And then life goes on
So many places, so many ways
There's no way home, nowhere I belong
Off the rails dream away
The amber lights flicker out
An old soldier lives in the dark
Says the light only causes pain
Now I don't listen to him this time
I packed my bag and I walk to the bus stop
Stars, stars falling down like a yellow rain, like a firework
I stand alone watching the stars fall
So many places, so many ways
There's no way home, nowhere I belong
So many faces fade away
And then life goes on
So many places, so many ways
There's no way home, nowhere I belong
So many faces fade away
And then life goes on
[Instrumental]
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Hold on there
And then life goes on
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Hold on there
And then life goes on
