Wie oft wollte ich halten und doch alles verändern Wie oft hab ich mir eingeredet: "Ich fühl mich besser als gestern" Meine Lippen war'n still, doch die innre Stimme laut Hab gewartet, doch gewartet worauf? Wie oft wollte ich Glut, doch war da nichts mehr als Asche? Wie oft war ich doch dankbar für all das Gute, was ich hatte? Die Gedanken kaum still, meine innre Stimme laut Ich hab gewartet, jetzt weiß ich, worauf Jetzt steh ich hier und du siehst mich auch Ich bin bereit, dir blind zu folgen ohne Angst Ich kann es fühl'n unter meiner Haut Das ist ein Neubeginn mit dir Hand in Hand Ich weiß, es gibt so was wie Bestimmung Also nehm ich es dankbar an, dich nicht mehr zu vermissen Ich sehe mich in dir, die Gedanken werden laut Und ich hör auf zu warten, alles hier, was ich jetzt brauch Jetzt steh'n wir hier Hand in Hand Unsre Wege geh'n wir jetzt zusamm'n Du kannst mich fühl'n, wir sind seelenverwandt Und es wird stärker jeden Tag, unser Band Hand in Hand werden wir uns begleiten Mit jedem Stein, der vor uns liegt, oh-oh-oh Durch dich glaub ich an Wunder und Zeichen Oh, du gibst so viel von dir Du verdienst nur Liebe von mir, oh-oh-oh So steh'n wir hier Hand in Hand Tief verbunden, ein ganzes Leben lang (ganzes Leben lang) Wir könn'n uns fühl'n, halten alles aus Wir werden stärker jeden Tag, Hand in Hand Wir werden stärker jeden Tag, Hand in Hand Ich bin stärker jetzt durch dich an deiner Hand

The sky is crying, the streets are full of tears Rain come down, wash away my fears And all this writing on the wall Oh, I can read between the lines Rain come down, forgive this dirty town Rain come down, and give this dirty town A drink of water, a drink of wine If I been hard on you, I never chose to be I never wanted no one else I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to As you'd sleep, I'd think my heart would break in two I'd kiss your cheek, I'd stop myself from waking you But in the dark you'd speak my name You'd say, "Baby what's wrong?" Oh, here I am baby, I'm coming back for more I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore Yes, and if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong? If I been hard on you, I never chose to be I never wanted no one else And I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to Supposed to be Now you and me go parallel together and apart And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart Did you never feel the distance You never tried to cross no line 'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are So far from home, don't you think of me some time If I been hard on you, I never chose to be I never wanted no one else I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to Well, sky is crying, see the streets are full of tears Rain come down, wash away my fears And all this writing on the wall Oh, I can read between the lines

Since I started being impressed By the things that move me All the treasures that I missed Came back to stand around me And as I curse the wasted time I lift my head to say Thank you God you gave the strength That helped me walk away All the fear and anger Still stays within my heart And I can't recall the last time I imagined they'd depart But this is what I'm going to do When they force me to doubt I'll ask for what I know remains To help me sing them out As rays of sun shine through the clouds To heat the soaking ground So when we come to sing the shouts We'll burn the theatres down Let every disbelieving sneer That looked me in the back Turn, come towards us, and feel the first attack.

Along these broken pavements I let my mind run free The past and the present Seem just the same to me The people I have loved most Among these stones they dwell And in the cleanest language The stories they did tell They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Depending on your view point This place is blessed or cursed And in the years I've lived here I've seen the best and worst An air of sordid passion A look of dirty grace But not right in your face It's not that kind of place They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me Down greasy potholed roadways I watch the traffic crawl But for the cars and busses I give no thought at all I think about the future I wonder at her health How with this human wealth She does renew herself They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass The streets of Edinburgh Hold half the world for me In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts The streets of Edinburgh Mean most to me

Shadows fall on our lives So quickly, my friend We feel warmth and see light Then darkness descends Shadows fall without warning And we stumble around Shadows fall without pity And there's no peace to be found Shadows fall on our lives So slowly, my friend We see them coming for miles But our happiness we don't defend Shadows fall where we let them As neglect turns to regret Shadows fall, do you never get them? Ah, you haven't lived long enough yet. Shadows fall on our loved ones When we are not to blame And we can't see any reason Why they're carrying all that pain Shadows fall right on them While there's light to their left and to their right So we try to help them step over But all they see is darkest night Shadows fall without warning And we stumble around Shadows fall without pity And there's no peace to be found

I've got to follow the money Gotta go to work Gotta make a living 'Til my body hurts Gotta bite my lip Gotta wreck my health Gotta break my back For my share of wealth I've got to follow the money Gotta go to work Gotta make a living 'Til my body hurts Gotta bite my lip Gotta wreck my health Gotta break my back For my share of wealth I've gotta follow the money Gotta earn my pay I spent everything I earned yesterday Gotta find the cash 'Cause it won't find me So I can feed myself And my family When I left school I was bummin' around I'd smoke and drink and let my mind wander I'd roll out of bed about 12 o'clock I can't do that any longer 'Cause I've gotta follow the money I'm gonna go to work Gonna make a living 'Til my body hurts Gotta bite my lip Gotta wreck my health Gotta break my back For my share of wealth Now I need to toil 'cause it's good for my soul I feel clean when I'm working You can drop all the mystical celtic bull 'Cause that stuff's just jerking, always I'm not saying that I work like my dad I know I don't work like my mum But I'm made of the same stuff, and I'm six-feet tall Gimme the tools, I'll get the job done Gotta follow the money Gotta go to work Gotta make a living 'Til my body hurts Gotta bite my lip Gotta wreck my health Gotta break my back For my share of wealth I've gotta follow the money Gotta earn my pay I spent everything I earned yesterday Gotta find the cash 'Cause it won't find me So I can feed myself And my family Feed myself and my family That's why I'm working I'm working I'm working I'm working I'm working I'm working now

When I was a younger man When I was a silly boy I didn't need a thing I was strong as anything I viewed solitude as a joy But since I met you I'm distraught You wandered in and now I'm caught I never thought I would see Someone so truly good Someone who's so everything I'm not I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home But what if, what if, what if, what If it's not perfect then it's not? But every care I take Nothing I won't forsake To dwell beside what you've got Every time I think about you I think I can't live without you I tell you something I am nothing without you I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home I want to spend my life with you Don't want to live all alone I can't conceive of the years left to me Without you in our home Without you in our home
