lyrics

He was walking on the road that day
Day of pain, day of nothing
If he knew somebody in the west he would leave this town
Cause nothing binds him here

Only a child, a boy, a girl is a reason to stay
Somebody once told him to listen to his heart
But he never did
And today, he’s dying

The lights from the street prevent him from sleeping
So he dreams eyes open
And he sees a beautiful woman
Smiling in the sun

Dreams are cruel cause soon she will disappear
But for the moment he’s happy, he’s sure
That nothing can touch him

« And I wonder if I had left here
Would I be rich, would I be clever
The sun is not shining in her
Would it be different somewhere else

And I wonder why I had to listen to the radio station
As I could be on the other side
In that city of angels. »

There’s an idea still in motion
And the final step is now
They’d be hidden in the garden
And they would guide me through the walls
See, my fellows are not frightened
They’re waiting for the storm
