lyrics

Theres a sunlight, in the morning
scatters rainbows bout my bedroom
and downstairs theres a father
and a mother with all the love I could need.

Why just yesterday, I walked about the cemetery
thought: How pretty are the flowers
of those who are gone - what did they see
as they waited for that last lid to fall?

Theres a cold light, in the evening,
makes the ice on the bell tower shine.
On a night such as this, shouldnt we be standing close?
Why do I feel so alone?

And the twinkling of the radio towers
is as close to a friendly look as I can get,
they say: Dont worry, dont worry,
its better to give without having to get.

Spread out my bed and enjoy
the space
that I wish I could have inside my head

So goes another love
is it better to lose
than to not have at all?

Why do I toil
for what does not satisfy
why do I buy what is not bread?

Brother
I'll do anything
you're the only true love I know.
