For Kristen
Sweet, don't sit still until night fallshaunting my sky, peering down andkeeping me awake.Stars in your eyes, how much too bright they shinethrough my window to keep me thinkingwhich at night that is unhealthy becausewe both know I need sleep.But please, dear, don't you worry about me, dearyou'll find I'm busy but please, dearit doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you whenI sing dear, and dreaming when I sleep, dearthat you could only be hereby my side when everything's ok.But oh, how unfortunate!How damn unfortunate that I have to go and be away all the time.But someday in this world, girl, you'll just have to find mebecause I'm sure I'll be in Africa or somewhere...Somewhere where there's no light to take my view of youin my sky looking down on the village where I'l live.And every night I'll sit outside and see ifI can hear your voice, girl, but I'm sure you'll bemuch too far away.But Oh, how unfortunate!SongtexteHow damn unfortunate that I have to go and be away all the timeBut someday in this world, girl, you'll just have to find mebecause I'm sure I'll be waiting for you.So here I am, writing you this songto push the question along,so we can die with the confidence thatI care for you, and I always will dear.I'll never pretend you don't existso don't even bother wasting your timetrying to insist.But, Baby, I'm sure you'll go farthe world's not ready for you,you're all the blessings that you have to give.So bloom, dear, plant your roots and bloom, dear.And I'll be waiting out there for you to find meand pass my hand again.But oh, how unfortunate!How damn unfortunate that I could neverlet you get close to me.But someday we'll cross paths on a sidewalk in New Yorkand it will be perfect again... again... again Aus Songtexte Mania
