The city haze in the summertimeThe traffic rolls like a serpentineSitting down here by the harborWith a six pack of cold beerSo many thoughts fly round my headAnd then they disappearBack in the days when I was youngI found a place where I belongedBut there's been so many changesInnocence got complicatedI'm a prisoner of my dreamsAnd this tangled web I've weavedLost my way in the city lightsNow I try too hard to make up the timeThe journey doesn't end hereAnd the end is not in sightIf I keep on digging deeperThere'll be diamonds down the mineLong ago in the underworldI was down and out 'til I met a girlAnd she never tried to change meAnd I knew she trusted in meLed me through her garden gateSongtexte'Til I finally found my wayThe road is dark, and it ain't too clearWhatever things have brought me hereSometimes brings me so undoneAnd I knew this day would comeWhen I would finally seeThrough the shadows of my dreamsLost my way in the city lightsNow I try too hard to make up the timeLooking back over my shoulderAt the shadows of my dreamsThough I can't escape the futureTrying to fight my way upstreamThough I know there's so far to goThere's so much to do, so much room to growThe journey doesn't end hereI can make up for lost timeIf I keep on digging deeperThere'll be diamonds down the mineI'm sitting down by the harbor sideSo many things flying round my mindCan't stop thinking about you, babyYou have brought me so much goodI wish that I could find the wordsBut I'm so misunderstoodLost my way in the city lightsNow I try too hard to make up the timeThe journey doesn't end hereAnd the end is not in sightIf I keep on digging deeperThere'll be diamonds down the mineI thought that I had a poet's mindI've tried so hard, but I can't describeWhat it is about you, babyI can't seem to get it rightBut my every imperfectionYou have filled up with your lightLost my way in the city lightsNow I try too hard to make up the timeThe journey doesn't end hereAnd the end is not in sightIf I keep on digging deeperThere'll be diamonds down the mine Aus Songtexte Mania
