Beside my bed there is a lampAnd in that lamp there is a lonely mothHe’s got one night, he’s got one lifeAnd one thing on his mind, and that’s the fireHe doesn’t care from where it comesHe only knows he’s got to runToward the brightest promise in his eyeNow he’s circling to the groundHis wings have burned, he’s falling downI just watch, and wonder how we carry onIt was a world I never madeI just fell into this old paradeThey told me it’s my time to shineAnd they got ways to light me up at nightThey didn’t care from where I cameIt seemed they lost their pride and shameLooking for a fire of their ownOne last ember hits the groundThe wood’s all burned, it's ashes nowIf you look up to the moon, you’ll help me carry onOld man in a bar tonightHe sits down on a stool to watch the fightSongtexteHe says “One last drink to light me upAnd then I do believe I’ve had enough”Chasing dreams that end in painI’ve chased the sun, I’ve chased the rainBut nothing ever seemed to fill my cupI see the angels circling nowI feel the moon behind the cloudsThat’s the kind of fire I’d be proud to carry on Aus Songtexte Mania
