Pictures
Scotch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was born in a small place
Here the toys are all talking
And if you run through the green field
Maybe you can find all what you need

Memories are far from here
Time has gone over my time
But I am with my dreams
Time has gone over me

Remembering today
Pictures of old days
Discovering today
The secrets of my Age

Remembering today
Pictures of old days
Discovering today
The secrets of my Age

I have brought up my children
Where the toys are not talking
And they run through the grey field
With the animals' happiness band

Memories are far from here
Time has gone over my time
But I am with my dreams
Time has gone over me

Remembering today
Pictures of old days
Discovering today
The secrets of my Age

Remembering today
Pictures of old days




Discovering today
The secrets of my Age
