Passing Through
I was in a hurry, I hit the road young I wasn't going anywhere, I just had to run I said I am certain in what I know I thought the branches waving made the wind blow I built a castle from stones that I found along the way from the walls my colours flew I screamed out what I've made is mine, but it wasn't really true I'm passing through I'm only passing through We're in a quiet nighttime cafe on the roads heading east We are a rich man, poor man, beggar-man, thief Over in the corner the machines play themselves Outside is empty all fogbound roads The woman serving coffee has a tired-out smile and a kid back at home And all these decisions we make along the way, we just fall into We're passing through We're passing through By moonlit pools we fashioned ourselves from pieces of bone We climbed high in the mountains and carved our names deep in the stone It will all be gone, weathered away Back to where we came from There's nothing to lose, nothing to lose SongtexteThere's nothing to lose, no, nothing to lose Look up to the sky (nothing to lose) Look up to the heavens (nothing to lose) It's easy to imagine (nothing to lose) That that's where we're heading (nothing to lose) I was in a hurry, I hit the road young I wasn't going anywhere, I just had to run And I grasped it all like a child for something to hold onto Like once I believed that the waves moved the water, now I know it isn't true They're passing through They're passing through With nothing to lose, nothing to lose And so what happened made a mockery of everything you thought you knew The children that were part of you, they were only passing through Winds will change direction, grace and light will once again fall on you It will be over soon It will be over soon Aus Songtexte Mania
