20 Yesterdays Men
war auf der Suche nach Zärtlichkeit in dieser Stadt.
Dann sah ich dich im Neonlicht
ein Blick von dir berührte mich
und es traf mich so wie ein Stich ins Herz.
Wir beide tanzten im Rausch der Musik
spürst du den Takt den mein Herz angibt
drum halt mich fest.
Zärtliche Lippen und dein Gesicht
ein schöner Traum
der viel verspricht
und in dieser Nacht sind wir atemlos.
Ich will mit dir die Sonne berühr'n
nur du und ich
die Sinne verlier'n
d
everything in it's own time
remember everything i told you
keep it in your heart like a stone
and when the winds have blown things round and back again
what was once your pain will be your home
all around the table the white haired men have gathered
spilling their sons' blood like table wine
(spilling their sons' blood)
remember everything i told you
everything in its own time
the music whispers you in urgency
hold fast to that languageless connection
a thread of known that was unknown and unseen seen
dangling from inside the fifth direction
(dangling from inside the fifth direction)
boys around the table are mapping out their strategies
kings all of mountains one day dust
a lesson learned a loving god and things in their own time
in nothing more do i trust
we own nothing
nothing is ours
not even love so fierce it burns like baby stars
but this poverty is our greatest gift
(nothing is ours)
the weightlessness of us as things around begin to shift
(the weightlessness as things begin to shift)
remember everything i told you
(remember everything i told you)
keep it in your heart like a stone
(keep it in your heart like a stone)
and when the winds have blown things round and back again
(when the winds have blown things round)
what was once your pain will be your home
everything in its own time
everything in its own time
oh
oh
oh
oh
