Where am I going on this long old roadso grown, grown up from the rootsThey've taken all, and are too heavy for themselvesthey've begun to fade awayChop down the bitter wind, just cover me upjust grab a hold enoughTo catch my breath, sinking, falling downyou've outgrown me tooSurge, doesn't move, doesn't work insideparts, they clink, they clink collideThey all rust and fall, just like meand they've done it to themselvesOh, we've taken on too muchthat's all, we know it's wrongOh, we muddied up so muchthe key is simplicity, that's all it isJust remember, try to rememberwhen you were youngSurvive until the endAnd yes I've lost a friendLost that and so much moreThey said I was a boreThe key: simplicityRings true in my citySongtexteBut now the place has changedIt's all been rearrangedWe're deaf from traffic noiseThe men replaced the boysBut I remember onceThe winter had long goneThe ground was mud, but I was a boy thenand I still remember how it was all redIt was the cave, it was the fire, to me I was warmin this bright, in this daylightThe ground was mud, but I was a boy thenI tried to remember how it was all redIt was the same ember, my mother she was always warmit's all in the daylight Aus Songtexte Mania
