about

“Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?”

lyrics

Lying, thinking last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
Nobody, nobody can make it out here alone

When I'm alone, the milky way whispers a promise telling me
That all my troubles aren't as difficult as they seem
But there he goes, drifting away
To God only knows, to some other place
Searching for something new
Until my paradise comes true

There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone
But nobody, no, nobody
Can make it out here alone

Off to the night and being clear that dreams were never meant to last
But who's to say that you and I can't rewrite the past
I open my eyes, again and again
To see sunny days waiting round the bend
Searching for something new
Until my paradise comes true

So when will it end?
So when, when will we meet my friend?
