That time when we were crossing the Atlantic The moment that we reached the middle You turned to me and said something romantic I've won the race and you're the medal And all the ocean liners we were passing Had nothing on our sail and whistle As the waves were rolling we were dancin' Like we had enough, to lose a little So sure we were contenders So strong and willing to fight But it's a long way down when you're far from the ground And I've been falling most of my life And though the sun shines on even after you're gone I feel sorry for the wasted light Wasted light Spill off the port into a crowded main street Looking for somewhere to settle And soon enough we're lost inside the mystery We'll be strangers before night has settled With so much to say we said too little Back then We were pretenders SongtexteSo young And ready to fight, oh But it's a long way down when you're far from the ground I've been falling most of my life Though the sun shines on even after you're gone I feel sorry for the wasted light Oh, I feel sorry for the wasted light Oh And it's a long way down when you're far from the ground I've been falling most of my life And thought clock ticks on even after you're gone I'm just shaken' hands with wasted time I'm still praying you'll come home one night Oh it's a long way down When you are far from the ground And the sun shines on even after you're gone I feel sorry for the wasted light I'm still praying you'll come home one night So here I am crossin' the Atlantic Maybe see you at the middle (Dank an Nicole für den Text) Aus Songtexte Mania
