Die frühen Jahre - Dota Kehr & Black Sea Dahu

All die Jahre, wo sind die nur hingekommen All die Tage, in denen wir endlos in meinem Auto rumfuhrn Und im Radio lief unser Lieblingslied Und ich hab aufgedreht, weil du hast immer falsch gedrückt All die Jahre, wo sind die nur hingekommen All die Tage, an denen wir immer gute Freunde waren Ich hab gedacht es wär so, die ganze Zeit Ich hab die Welt geliebt und dich noch mehr Sage mir, wo bist du jetzt Sage mir, wie weit, wie weit In den letzten Wochen, dachte ich es wär Vorbei und ich wär endlich drüber weg gekommen Doch heut Nacht hab ich von dir geträumt Und alle meine Liebe hat sich wieder aufgebäumt All die Jahre, all die Stunden All die Tage und Sekunden Auf das die Zeit in mir verbleibt Mich noch einmal zu dir treibt Sage mir, wo bist du jetzt Sage mir, wie weit, wie weit

Um diese Zeit rücken die Menschen näher zusammen Fassen sich wie die Kinder an den Händen um sich nahe zu sein Keiner kann mehr das Alleinsein ertragen Einer muss den anderen gutes sagen Alle Jahre wieder Kommt das Christuskind Auf die Erde nieder Wo wir Menschen sind Kehrt mit seinem Segen Ein in jedes Haus Geht auf allen Wegen Mit uns ein und aus Steht auch dir zur Seite Still und unerkannt Dass es treu mich leite An der lieben Hand

Alle Jahre wieder Kommt das Christuskind Auf die Erde nieder Wo wir Menschen sind Kehrt mit seinem Segen Ein in jedes Haus Geht auf allen Wegen Mit uns ein und aus Steht auch mir zur Seite Still und unerkannt Dass es treu mich leite An der lieben Hand Alle Jahre wieder Kommt das Christuskind Auf die Erde nieder Wo wir Menschen sind Kehrt mit seinem Segen Ein in jedes Haus Geht auf allen Wegen Mit uns ein und aus Steht auch mir zur Seite Still und unerkannt Dass es treu mich leite An der lieben Hand Dass es treu mich leite An der lieben Hand

I dream of you in colors that don't exist Travel to the other side, meet you there, leave me blind I look so goddamn tired Even in my sleep Don't you die on me now baby I am you are me I need you for my sanity Oh how you occupy my mind sometimes Soak up a life Be human kind We are the grown breed of extinction century An apex predator facing mass solitude Thriving child of consumption industry I woke to swollen eyes adrift in the depth of my dream Tremor in the stream Now I've lost all sense of direction Don't you give up on me now baby I am you are me I need you for my sanity And in the end you are the ties you made A devil's trade Be human kind Every third day I'm caught in the eye of a storm I run a fever and sweat out all the pain Reset my brain back to the norm Every third day I'm caught in the eye of a storm I run a fever and try minding my own Reset my brain back to the norm Thunder over you no matter what you do But don't despair cause I'm in there with you

I didn't mean that I don't want you here with me And all I can see is a man who wants to give himself to me And I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love again You tell me that you want me too And that you hate me for I find comfort in this lonely place I'm in And all I can do is push you far away And guard my borders even more now I often think of how you pulled me to your chest so tightly Oh help me god how you swallowed your anger that day When we met in the park and I was so worried For a long while we just sat and neither of us could manage to talk I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love

In case I fall for you Will you burn all boats behind you and hit the road with me? And as we pull through Two partners in crime We settle down in Alabama and pretend we're free from fear In case I provoke you to fury Will you play the husky voice and show me that our love can heal? And as we live the life of Riley Will our browntanned skin and the wind up The hills keep at bay all our demons within? Oh I think I love you Once again an old flag was blown away Oh I think I'm in love In love with you Nowhere else will I find peace but when I'm with you In case I fail to remain true to you Will you say we are meant to be and that's why you won't leave? And as I slash your devoted heart Will you put up with him being next to me? 'Cause that's how love's supposed to be Or will you walk out of the tale I really wanted to be real? Oh I think I love you Once again an old flag was blown away Oh I think I'm in love In love with you Nowhere else will I find peace but when I'm with you Will I find peace? Oh I think I love you Once again an old flag was blown away Oh I think I'm in love In love with you Nowhere else will I find peace but when I'm with you

As my mind darkens I take stock of what I have Stare, stare at my palms and count my limbs Two arms and two legs Wipe the car window clean The ghosts are dancing Just as they were when I was 15 and the walls would bend Now, drown out the howling It's not what you think Please no, don't follow the riddles They'll lead you to strange places in your head Crawl, crawl my way back For I don't know where is up and where is down any more The ghosts are dancing Just as they were when I was 15 and the walls would bend Now, drown out the howling It's not what you think The ghosts are dancing Just as they were when I was 15 and the walls would bend Now drown out the howling It's not what you think

Where is your power? You keep telling me stories but I can see your pale face You're hard to get I know That I'm the only story that will never grow Never grow for good You owe me ten thousand days just for us And you owe me a night full of beer and drunk hugs And you owe it to me to never give up on me, on you And on our trip to the north I fear you'll come back in town again Tie the selfsame rope around my neck With all your old lies waiting in a trojan horse And raise up those old walls of our love I won't harbor anymore I owe you ten thousand days just for us And I owe you a night full of beer and drunk hugs And I owe it to you to never give up on me, on you And on our trip to the north You haven't changed much Asking for the throne but you can't see it's long gone Smoke and swan Ravage is all you left I'll set out alone and find a land of my own The road is gonna take me home
