Lyrics

down by the water, down in the restless
sea I cooled my swollen feet. I had to
rest eventually, tired of walking, for miles
and miles with no end, no end, no goal in
sight…
under my blanket I look for inner
peace. fled from the city‘s noise, it‘s so
unbearable to me. I‘m tired of talking
in foreign tongues when there is never
enough air to fill my lungs, when there
are never the right words to phrase my
pains, when there is never enough silence
it‘s all in vain.
walk another mile, don‘t slower your
pace. always wear a smile. things will fall
in place..

I‘m tired of walking for miles
with no end, no end, no end,
sight.
I‘m tired of walking for miles
with no end, no end, no goal in

and miles
no end in

is this the right path to be stumbling
along?

and miles
sight.

though I scream ‚seize the day!!‘ I will
linger till dusk, till it all went away, and
nothing‘s been changed, nothing‘s been
done. and I‘ll procrastinate all important
decisions until it is too late - for now
chances are near, tomorrow they‘re
gone.
