lyrics

AWAY
They can't really expect me
to go to sleep this hour
It's so much all to early
to ever fall asleep

I lie awake and think of
what I will never have
to hold or to be loved by
just another short goodbye

I walk the stairs so quietly
to smoke a cigarette
I need to think
and think again
What more I cannot have

They can't really expect me
I blew here by the wind
I followed in the undertow
of that Viking Queen

I don't know what I am doing here
or why I came along
It might have been the calling of
some unwritten song

Or maybe all the words I
have not already found
The time is also coming up
for not to be around

I walk the stairs so quietly
to smoke a cigarette
I need to think
and think again
What more I cannot have

The ancient pit is waiting
I might be under stress
to find that final answer
away from all this mess
away from all the chances
the tired ballroom dances
away from what is lacking
in a life...
