A nine days' wonder looking back
As the sun goes down
As time goes by a sketch of life
On the wall worn out
One day she said in the usual tone
That I don't shine anymore
She stands alone watching the leaves fall
So many places, so many ways
There's no way home, nowhere I belong
So many faces fade away
And then life goes on
So many places, so many ways
Off the rails dream away
The amber lights flicker out
An old soldier lives in the dark
Now I don't listen to him this time
I packed my bag and I walk to the bus stop
Stars, stars falling down like a yellow rain, like a firework
I stand alone watching the stars fall
So many places, so many ways
There's no way home, nowhere I belong
So many faces fade away
And then life goes on
So many places, so many ways
There's no way home, nowhere I belong
And then life goes on

Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Hold on there
And then life goes on
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Still living in a world we know
Hold on there
And then life goes on
So I laughed and said "Can you bring it back?"
There's no way home, nowhere I belong
Says the light only causes pain
So many faces fade away
