Meanwhile the night turns the story into drama |
|
The clowns to ghosts and the lawmen to thievs |
|
I'm sitting alone |
|
On the top of the church |
|
Under the clock-tower roof |
|
I get some hours of trust |
|
When I am here in the dust |
|
And picture the world form a little above |
|
In the dust, from a little above |
|
The world sleeps safe on her pillow now, ma'm |
|
And the wind plays with leaves on the staircase below |
|
And just like the wind |
|
I had a playmate who coped |
|
When life felt hard and unjust |
|
And we're here in the dust |
|
And pictured the world from a little above |
|
In the dust, from a little above |
|
So if you are young |
|
And almost out of regret |
|
Stay forever young |
|
'cause sparkling youth go to rust |
|
When you are here in the dust |
|
And picture the world from a little above |
|
In the dust, I'm ringin' the bell for my missing companion |
|
In the dust, you could have been free, well maybe you are now |
|
In the dust, you know I never will be |
