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 ["That light 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 There's no way home, nowhere I belong So many faces fade away And then life goes on So many places, so many ways 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 packed my bag and I walk to the bus stop Stars, stars falling down like a yellow rain, like a firework I stand alone watching the stars fall So many places, so many ways There's no way home, nowhere I belong So many faces fade away And then life goes on So many places, so many ways There's no way home, nowhere I belong So many faces fade away And then life goes on [Instrumental] 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
