While you live on the wind, how lovely it all seems
With moments yet unshared, and wishes incomplete
The stars above your head, the world beneath your feet
Suddenly your nights, begin to seem so long
There's no one there to touch, when things start going wrong
You finally realise, you've never loved at all
And everywhere you look, you see the white wall
Your father's been too far, your mother's been too near
And now you're on your own, withdrawing in your fear
Through long and sleepless nights, the foxes are running free
You long to be with them, when the scare meets the sea
You climb and then you fall, and then you try again
You curse yourself aloud, for living so weird
And took it to the ground, your eyes are filled with tears
Imprisoned there you lay, in the autumn of your years
Springtime of new years, the young thoughts see more dreams While you live on the wind, how lovely it all seems With moments yet unshared, and wishes incomplete The stars above your head, the world beneath your feet Suddenly your nights, begin to seem so long There's no one there to touch, when things start going wrong You finally realise, you've never loved at all And everywhere you look, you see the white wall Your father's been too far, your mother's been too near And now you're on your own, withdrawing in your fear Through long and sleepless nights, the foxes are running free You long to be with them, when the scare meets the sea You climb and then you fall, and then you try again You curse yourself aloud, for living so weird And took it to the ground, your eyes are filled with tears Imprisoned there you lay, in the autumn of your years Explain Request ×
