The streets of the city Where I learned to walk I now stumble down slowly Guess I have to learn to walk again On the streets of the pretty An ugly man crawls The whispers, the memories and other ghosts Are walking the streets tonight Home is where the mind is My mind is in the blue Home is where the mind is My mind is far from you The streets of the city Are haunting my dreams The whisper, the memories and other ghosts Are walking the streets tonight Home is where the mind is My mind is in the blue Home is where the mind is My mind is far from you

When you go home, home to nowhere Let the silence be the music You make it stream throughout the night When you go home, you go home to no one And nowhere You'll make it through the night You'll make it through the night And tomorrow you'll make it to the next night When you go home, home to nowhere You'll make it through the night You know, the sun will only burn you You'd better fade into the night You know, the cold and dark night suits you You're not aone, you're with me I'll embrace you You'll make it through the night You'll make it through the night And tomorrow you'll make it to the next night When you go home, home to nowhere You'll make it through the night

Her arms around my neck Allow my hands to feel her warmth And never again will she be this close Her smell arouses me And I will never feel her warmth, her smell again Inside I cry I came here to see you, not to die I want so to be with you, but I won't cry Her tears seem strange to me Why does she cry for me Why does she look at me in this strange, sad way I want to taste her lips Just one last time and then I could go I want to tell her what my heart screams out I came here to see you, not to die I want so to be with you, and I won't cry I came here to feel your warmth again I came here just to be with you once again

To all of you who can't sleep tonight Here's an angel's lullaby The late night's hours can get way too dark And though it's hard You feel you have to try to stay awake Because sleep will only make you Wake up to another day La vie en marron Now, did something follow you home tonight The shadows lurking behind the trees And did the cold rain really wet your soul Make you dig depper into the hole And now, when the story's over When the spirit fades away La vie en marron Now, when the angels watch over me I'll go on, I will hopefully Where I'm now, I will come down It's so hard to see you leaving us You leave us, we stand on our own But I must tell you, you have made us strong I guess it's time to move along But time will only make us Wake up to another day La vie en marron Now, when the angels watch over me I'll go on, I will hopefully Where I'm now, I will come down

The weight of your passion Like a stone inside my chest Was holding me down 'Till I stood up and took the fall And still you believe in love In you and me in love But I can't give you my heart In my heart there's a blackbird With a song to bring me up And the weight of your passion Oh, would only fulfill the fall I would not be strong enough to lift us both Not strong enough to believe in us in love So please, spare me your love Still you belive in love In you and me in love But I can't give you my heart
