The Journey

I woke up in the dust in the fallow lands
This picture of you in my hands
A certain something missing here
A lonely time for a lonely man
The sun, the wind
Leading my path of breaking away
Some time, some day,
I will wait and stop to stray
You will be my evening star
You will be my evening star
A hundred million miles behind me —
before me just another step
A hundred million words I told you —
three little words I won´t forget
A hundred million miles behind me —
before me just another step
A hundred million words I told you —
three little words I won´t forget
I see clouds rising in the night sky
Wild cats' eyes shimmering in the dark
Permanent tears on the mountain tops
The rain will wash the dirt away
The night is quiet in the outlands
I can hear the whisper of the thoughts of you
A deserted bridge leads over the canyon,
Over the labyrinth of my fears
You will be my evening star
You will be my evening star
\\spoken
A hundred million years as I thought — just the other second you passed away
A hundred million miles right behind me
the thirteenth step — just the journey of our life
\\spoken end
A hundred million miles behind me —
Before me just another step
A hundred million words I told you —
Three little words I won´t forget
A hundred million miles behind me —
Before me just another step
A hundred million words I told you —
Three little words I won´t forget
On my way
Counting the shades of grey
I stopped looking down
At a place where we all were lost and found
A hundred million miles (a hundred million miles)
behind me (behind me)
before me (before me)
before me just another step
A hundred million miles behind me —
Before me just another step
A hundred million words I told you —
Three little words I won´t forget
