Anoraak feat. Sally Shapiro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wishing days were longer soaking from dawn
You're so very far
Just as I thought "distance": I can see a star
Ahhh...
And all emotions touching my mind
They take me there
Pictures in my mind
Of the days before you left and said goodbye
My hand is in your hand
I am lost in all the memories I had
Ahhh...
I send you hundreds of letters: you'll find
My longing there
Don't give up
Don't be
Afraid of walking
We will be shadows by our side
Afraid of longing
We're waiting with you all the time
Afraid of thinking
About my promises to you
Now don't stop falling
Cause I can make your dreams come true
