When you get
there and
you have time to spare-
write me and say
that you’re okay
Home’s not the same--
When you left
you took its name.
Home is us--
Not me alone.
I dance with ghosts now
You know them all.
I’m still in love
With what we were
(not what is now)
I live in the past
though we know
memory won’t last
candle flame-
Tomorrow’s never the same
-------------------------------------- Break
And yes, I’m still
angry at you--
For taking
a precious thing
that belonged to we two
Leaving me,
you stole something
that wasn’t only yours—
We made it together
Not two hands, but four.
I believed
we were forever
I believed
in nothing more.
Just me alone now
dancing
with our ghosts.
Since you left
I’ve learned to be
their perfect host.
I be-lieved
we were forever
I be-lieved
in nothing more.
I dance with ghosts now.
You know them all
I’m still in love
With what we were
(not what is now)
Ledwie tylko odrosłem od ziemi
Trochę wyżej niż metr,
Już myślałem, że wszystko się spełni,
Że zostanę kim chcę.
Chciałem być wielką gwiazdą rocka,
Sławną jak rolling stones,
Widzieć ludzi tysiące wokół,
Zasłuchanych w mój głos...
Przez życie przejść wyłącznie na scenie
Przyznacie, że niewielkie marzenie
Do roboty nawet się zabrałem
I po latach dwóch
Prawie dobrze rozróżniałem,
Co to moll, a co dur.
I mocno w to wierzyłem,
Że można wszystko mieć,
By życie bajką było,
Wystarczy tylko chcieć...
Jakoś zaraz potem po maturze
Ojciec przekonał mnie,
Że się daje nawet żyć i w biurze
Byle niezły był szef,
I tylko raz na miesiąc po pierwszym,
Znów czuję że no satisfaction...
Ledwie tylko odrosłem od ziemi
Trochę wyżej niż metr,
Już myślałem, że wszystko się spełni,
Że zostanę kim chcę.
I mocno w to wierzyłem,
Że można wszystko mieć,
By życie bajką było,
Wystarczy tylko chcieć...
Winding your way down on Baker street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taking you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to see that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
But you're crying, you're crying now
Way down the street there's a lot in this place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then you'll settle down
With some quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know you'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
When you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home
