Late last night I stood out on an empty street I saw the moon and the stars get swallowed alive Down across the river I can hear the train whistle It reminds me of the one that glory used to ride Every step I have taken in my whole life has led me to this place right here I refuse to believe its hallowed ground upon which I stand These days the face in the mirror ain't exactly clear I wonder how the child has grown into a broken man I just want to work one day for an honest pay And forget the echo of cities I have burned I recall the words I once heard a wise man say What is learned here cannot be unlearned Come back to me sunshine I need to know if you're still there Come back to me good times I need to know if you still care I don't give a damn about all these pretty women There is only one flower I will ever love She has left me for the kingdom of heaven Tonight she sleeps with her God For so many years I held the winning hand Now it seems the dealers eyes have grown cold I gave the best of all my years to Uncle Sam Now its but a fool's card which I hold SongtexteSomewhere somehow far beyond the darkness The light of love will touch my eyes And if I do never ever rise from this park bench In my death I will truly be alive Come back to me sunshine I need to know if you're still there Come back to me good times I need to know if you still care Ball of fire gonna burn down this world Aus Songtexte Mania
