Select language to translate this lyric
Iâd love to tell you
What you want to hear
Crystal words, so clear
Something warm and dear
Like a candle
On a stormy night â
Shine a bit of light
Let you know itâs all okay
When all is done and said
But thereâs nothing
When I dial the phone
And youâre never home
So I guess Iâm prone
To go searching
Looking through the street
For the tracks of feet â
That always seem to roam
So far ahead.
Like shadows racing down the boulevard
The Night is falling like a house of cards
The Wind is howling at a lonely moon,
but the sun will come tomorrow just to shake away the gloom⦠again, oh my friend.
Perhaps the table
is already set
and all your needs are met
But Iâd place a bet
That the stories
I have heard are true
As they point to you
And theyâre darker and more blue
Than the deepest sea
That turns and tosses like a funny dream
That churns and sloshes like a slot machine
But even like the waves above the bow
The world may try to drown you, but it never does, somehow.
Oh, no - it never does somehow.
Time flies by like a bird up in the sky -
Flits and flutters like a spy up on the wire.
Maybe it's true - all you've got to do
is fight against the wind to make it higher.
