about

Question: But why?
Time: Days of youth.

lyrics

Now they're up, the plates are at the top,
and it's dark outside my open window 'cause it's 10 o'clock.
Plants and toys make a roaring noise,
so my eyes are tryin' to stand in line towards the incoming voice.

I can say "a", can close my eyes and play,
show the way, draw a line, set a connection, send a file,
make you smile or get you in a stew,
carry glass, feel brass, but I hardly hear the news.

Try to look and you will see
Lake of Gusts inside of me.
Someone's floating - it's not me.
And my feeble hands are tied,
tied with spoken chains behind,
which I have just made but why...?

God bless you all sitting here! I'm happy when you're near me.
Behind we left all the fears which now are passed and lost in years...
Parts of the song are mixed completely wrong,
so I feel this one is not enough to satisfy for long.

I'll wake up one sunny day, I will stand and say my prayer
I will call my name and smile - everything then will be fine.
I'll check up these lyrics too, I'll reveal them all for you,
and I hope that you'll be there...

Just don't say "all was in vain"...
That will cause me awful pain
and will cover me with stains.
But Love shall win and make me live.
It's my time and I believe that
we are here to make us live.
