She looks out at the sunriseBut she still has some stars in her eyesLeft over from last nightBut that's the way hearts were designedThough her mind will have the memory 'til she diesHer lips wish they could keep the night aliveSo she turns to a passenger train and she wondersIf their paths will cross againBut outside the clouds gather, it rains and it thundersA sound so familiar it's almost a friendBut he's not as close a friend as she would likeAnd she barely knows a thing about his lifeExcept he's a scientist's son and he told her he thinks that she's prettyAnd he doesn't believe that he's yet heard his favorite songAnd he holds on to his tongue and he hides that he misses the cityHe told her he's leaving because he doesn't know where he belongsNow he sits at the stationSeems so selfish to suddenly simply part waysBut he's made his arrangementsAnd he's made up his mind that he's not gonna stayBut he just can't shake what happened late last nightAnd the words he spoke still echo in her mindSongtexteThere are places where the sun shines every dayAnd I'll stay long enough my accent goes awayBut I'll be gone before the people I love changeAnd I won't be afraidNow she stares at the clock towerAnd she knows she must make a decision soonShe stands like a sunflowerStill and silent; her smile so suddenly bloomsAnd he stands up straight and sweats and wipes his hand across his foreheadAnd anyone making bets would see that train and say he boardedAnd sit, forget himself, and try to heed his mother's warningNow she steps off the stairsAnd she's sprinting the second her feet hit the floorThere's smoke in the airWhistles blowing, he's standing, preparing to boardShe catches his eyes and then her breath, and nearly screams over the crowdAnd says "I knew before my death I'd someday speak these words out loud"And her heart's beating so fast that she can't hear over the soundAnd he opens his mouth to replyBut he still has some doubts in his mindLeft over from the last time he criedBut that's the way hearts were designedShe says she knows he has to go but asks him whyHe starts to tell her but he stumbles when he triesSays, "There are women who put pieces in your mouthGive you sangria 'til your secrets all come outAnd then they leave you and your soul is headed SouthAnd all you can do is shoutAnd I'm gonna follow it and leave the rest behindI'll keep my mouth shut so my secrets can stay mineI'll be delivered by the time that I arriveBecause there are places where the sun shines every dayAnd I'll stay long enough my accent goes awayBut I'll be gone before the people I love changeAnd I will not be ashamed"She says "I love you" and it caught him by surpriseHe closed his mouth and then she opened up her eyesSaid, "I don't even have to read between the linesI know you're rightSometimes I wish I could be swept out of the frayWith the person who's already on the wayWe'll be gone so long our accents will have changedBut at least they'll be the sameWe'll take water and we'll wash away our sinsIn the basin that our son was baptised inWe'll keep each other in our hearts and in our headsAnd we won't be afraid again" Aus Songtexte Mania
