I was lying there just half awakeI couldn't open up my eyesI couldn't shake the west bound highwayFrom the reaches of my mindWith the sun I woke up dreamingOf the year I moved out westLike a bird flying out of the nestI've been thinking about the way everything worked outHow you told me not to worry but I still had doubtsSo hard to let your breath flow in and outWhen you think you're going to dieJust before you learn to flyI've been living like a man just half aliveSaving everything for nothing and I don't know whyDon't want to let another good day go dryBring me water from the wellThere's nothing sweeter in the worldI cried on the way out west, grieving the life I leftI woke up in the ancient trees and I came aliveTonight I'm going to raise my glassTo every trouble in my pastYou made me a man, fool that I amI'd do everything againSongtexteIt's like I'm living in a dream within a dreamNo one seems to even notice and it troubles meSomebody dip a glass into a streamAnd pour some water over meI think I've had enough sleepI want to thank you for the way you stood asideYou watched me flounder like a foolAnd I almost diedThere was nothing you could do but let me goAnd watch me wander through the stormAnd pray to God I made it homeI cried on the way out west, grieving the life I leftI woke up in the ancient trees and I came aliveTonight I'm going to raise my glassTo every trouble in my pastYou made me a man, fool that I amI'd do everything againNow I see it all in a different lightHow the early dawn crawls into the nightTo show you how the hope you thought was lostIs on the morning windIf indeed I have let some love passThat I wish I'd not let out of my graspWell, everybody's lost one true loveThey'll never understandOh, I've been thinking about the way everything worked outHow you told me not to worry but I still had doubtsSo hard to let your breath flow in and outWhen you think you're going to dieJust before you learn to flyI cried on the way out west, grieving the life I leftI woke up in the ancient trees and I came aliveTonight I'm going to raise my glassTo every trouble in my pastYou made me a man, fool that I amI'd do everything againIf I could open my heart up againI'd fill it with more love this timeI'd set another sail in the windAnd laugh as the world goes roundEverybody wants to go againOne time around is never enoughYou never want to lay down and dieWhen there's still another breath of life Aus Songtexte Mania
