I Know Where You Live
Those Dancing Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that very art piece no one ever could compete
and I guess nothing will compare you looking
no paint dots will ever get mixed to colours that you wear
If I get the colours
If I get the words
I will search for you
If I get the words I would write a song for you
but there are not words enough to make it
and if I ever learn to sing I would sing that song for you
I would sing it loud and clearly so everyone could
hear that I never gave up on you
I would write a song for you
but there are not words enough to make it
I will search for you in the most secret treasures in
baskets far away from here but not as far
that I might get lost and never see you again
If that might happen I will find those
broken glasses which I've been looking for so long
But if I know I couldn't see
when would these glasses be stuck on me?
