I still remember well the world I thought I knew
Seems all my dreams have finally turned greyish-blue
For a short time I sensed a second chance
Held tightly in the red-heads lovely hands
"Not today, tomorrow, sure..."
Drivin' myself deeper into the lure
Three seasons of waiting endlessly passed by
And I slithered deeper in my precious, little lie
Lookin' for her sign like for some promised land
Watchin' for something like a face in the sand
Another unspoken promise made
One more lie I couldn't escape
The next day I left, as if to flee
Onward to Paris, for finding me
Eventually ending in some silent motel room
This flight just brought another lonely doom
Four days I was talking to my heart
Too far I've gone for another lonesome start
I tell myself that everything turns good
Perhaps something I just misunderstood
Goin' down to the lay-by's tiny chappel
Where other fallen gather like lost cattle
"Fall on your knees, the end is nigh!"
The priest is right, I tell you why:
My world's collapsed, now all is lost
Deep in my soul I count the cost
I wanted a saviour list'ning to my plea
But the one I'd chosen turned her back on me
I don't know where it all went vain
Clinging to distraction, not to feel my pain
But, after all this agony, I realized at last
The damage was done – my life had long passed.
Ich weis, nicht jeder hier wird's verstehen, Sorry, aber Englisch ist nun mal meine Lieblingssprache, wenn es um Lyrik geht.
Bitte um ernsthafte Kritik. (Ist mein erstes Mal, also bitte nicht zu sehr Weh tun! )
wow irgendwie macht es mcih betroffen.... ich weiß nicht genau warum aber wenn ich es lese fühle ich mich irgendwie wie wenn ich falle irgendwie werde ich schwerer und irgendwas an diesem gedicht macht mich nachdenklich.... ab und zu hatte ich das gefühl das es en bisschen holpert oder so aber keine ahnung kann auch sein ich mein es nur aber alles in allem finde ich es sehr gelungen
