We have to learn that this life will end
even our loved ones will go, that's hard to understand
Time is flying by so fast
it's sad but we can't make it last
So take all precious moments you spend together
lock them up in your mind and keep them there forever
They'll bring you through the hard days of life
they'll make you smile they'll make you survive
Can you show me a place where time stands still
I can't relax right now and I never will
I'm thinking too much about the past about tomorrow
my mind is filled with joy it's filled with sorrow
"It's not easy to make a choice
there so many ways to go" you say with a cracking voice
And I, I, I ask you why don't you just follow the truth and follow your heart
the friendship to yourself seems like a good start
If you'll leave one day my friend, take good care
you'll escape into the woods and enjoy the silence there
The trees have eyes, they look down at you
they have ears, play them your sad songs
they're whispering in the wind, why don't you take a rest and listen?
You told us secrets you told us lies
I thought we could trust you any time
This is my lifetime this is my job
but I wished it was not
I can't stay here with you things will never change
but it's just the way it is reality can be cruel
And we are like birds in the cage and we are like fishes in a bowl
like fishes in a bowl and like birds in a cage
like birds in a cage and like fishes in a bowl
Look out of the window all you can see
are heavy clouds and heavy hearts on a rainy day
I'm starring at the plant that you once gave to me
the leaves are still green maybe there is hope for us
And we could be like birds in the sky and we could be like fishes in the sea
like fishes in the sea and like birdies in the sky
like birdies in the sky and like fishes in the sea
Before the lines broke I tried hard to fly my
red-coloured kite it was you who made it
You went inside to get the camera
to take some pictures of me and the sky dancer
When you came back I had tears in my eyes
"It was snatched by the gusts and carried away into the sky"
Out on the field all we could feel was sorrow
"Girl don't be sad, pack your bag we'll leave tomorrow"
You said "Girl don't be sad, pack your bag we'll leave tomorrow"
Up up and away
A light breeze comforts me
Up up and away
A light breeze comforts me
I left a note for my mother and my father
Next day they found it on the breakfast table:
"Left early. On our way to find the red kite.
Don't know yet when we'll be back,
we don't know yet when we'll be back
we don't know yet when we'll be back"
Up up and away
A light breeze comforts me
Up up and away
A light breeze comforts me
