A Nine days' Wonder

A nine days' wonder looking back
As the sun goes down
As time goes by a sketch of life
On the wall worn out
One day she said in the usual tone
That I don’t shine anymore
So I laughed and said «Can you bring it back?»
She stands alone watching the leaves fall
So many places, so many ways
But there’s no way home, nowhere I belong
So many faces fade away
And then life goes on
So many places, so many ways
But there’s no way home, nowhere I belong
Off the rails dream away
The amber lights flicker out
An old soldier lives in the dark
Says the light only causes pain
Now I don’t listen to him this time
I packes my bag and I walk to the bus stop
Stars start falling down like a yellow rain, like fire-works
I stand alone watching the stars fall
So many places, so many ways
But there’s no way home, nowhere I belong
So many faces fade away
And then life goes on
So many places, so many ways
But there’s no way home, nowhere I belong
So many faces fade away
And then life goes on
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Hold on there
And then life goes on
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Hold on there
And then life goes on
