Life Is Long
Everybody says that the living is easy I can barely see 'cause my head's in the way Tigers walk behind me- they are to remind me that I'm lost- but I'm not afraid Soul to soul- A kiss and a sigh Sawed in half- by the passage of time Halfway home- from a window you see Chains and bars- but I am still free People on the outside- I remember sweet times This old rose- is always in bloom Everybody's happy- to be a baby daddy Stone love- with nothing to lose Life is long- if you give it way So stay, don't go- 'cause I'm fading away Soul to soul- between you and me Chain me down- but I am still free Now I can say- those three little words And every day- I'm dreaming a world Soul to soul- a kiss and a sigh Holding back- the waters outside. Life is long- if you give it away So stay, don't go- 'cause I'm fading away Soul to soul- between you and me Chain me down- but I am still free Aus Songtexte Mania
