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
