Signs Of A Life
And in the end, there's just a dented pillow Where a head lay And in the end, you reach an arm out But there's no one closer And in the end, there's just an empty pillow Not a person And then it's over So there's nothing, just a vacant pillow All the dreams All the songs All the words All the books All the keys All the jokes All the jokes Goodnight, face Goodbye, clock Farewell, words Farewell, words You can't just lie there! There are things to do, you silly person And people still living inside your head Your cold head "You know how this goes," you used to say to me Songtexte"Now look," you'd say, "Think about it," you'd tell me "It's so obvious. You know how this one goes" And all the songs you would have sung that never will be heard now And all the ways you walked that never will be walked in future And all the things we did we'll never do again together And all the memories of pain or joy that only we shared I am custodian, but all our words are writ on water We are custodians, but all our words are writ on water You aren't waiting for me It doesn't work like that "Make your own music," you said "It's time to go on alone" You can't be dead. You can't! Get up. You have to work now Now that they've come to take you away Wash you, and wind you, and take you away (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) You know how this one goes! (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Can you remember what a pillow was? Do you remember how it felt to feel? Goodnight, face Goodbye, breath Farewell, words No more time No more clock Let it dissolve Like a dent on a pillow Or breath on a window That fades And then we turn, and there's nobody left to turn, or nothing There's no body. Just signs of a life that was spent Aus Songtexte Mania
