Even the clearing of the streets, it was all tiled and in the corner stood a tree in a cage and in the screen on the side of a skyscraper stood A war child nestled in amongst the stocks, The shares and the sports scores of the day
I thought, don't leave your life too long It's gone before it's done if you hide away
I was travelling one day to find a small town, for I'd hear that it was far enough away Arrived late in the night and there was no sound, I looked forward to the breaking of the day With the sunrise I headed for the ocean, for it's where I find the cleanest air to breathe Every road down a factory had stolen and the smoke it billowed out and blocked the sea
I thought, don't leave your life too long It's gone before it's done if you hide away I thought, don't leave your life too long It's gone before it's done if you hide away
I was travelling one day down in Mexico In towns where people purely work to eat There's a shine in the eyes of those that let go And that shine was like a song that sang to me
It said, don't leave your life too long It's gone before it's done if you hide away I thought, don't leave your life too long It's gone before it's done if you hide awayTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
