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   So I laughed and said "Can you bring it back?"   She stands alone watching the leaves fall      So many places, so many ways   But there's no way home, nowhere I belong      So many faces fade away   And then life goes on      So many places, so many ways   But there's no way home, nowhere I belong      Off the rails dream away   The amber lights flicker out      An old soldier lives in the dark   Says the light only causes pain      Now I don't listen to him this time   I packes my bag and I walk to the bus stop   Stars start falling down like a yellow rain, like fire-works   I stand alone watching the stars fall      So many places, so many ways   But there's no way home, nowhere I belong      So many faces fade away   And then life goes on      So many places, so many ways   But there's no way home, nowhere I belong      So many faces fade away   And then life goes on      [instrumental]      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
