about

Robert's first self-written song for the band. Another rather unhappy boy-meets-girl story, a kind of teenage drama based on his first encounters with the third kind ... Teenage girls. Presented with reversed roles to protect his integrity. But at least he found an opportunity to mention Clive´s recording studio.
Ender added some very nice keyboards in the style of "Market Square Heros" towards the end.

lyrics

DAYS GONE BY

You pull me up and push me down
when you’re around
just for talking
you refuse when I reach out my hand
I can’t understand
what’s going on in your mind
no, I don’t want to share you
cause I fear I could loose you
totally.

Time went by without a chance
to rearrange the situation
we spent months to find a way
not to astray
but we can’t find one
then you come to say goodbye
eye to eye
to watch me crying
to watch me dying
to watch me fall on my knees
to beg you please
to stay here with me
for the rest of my life

You were glued at my side
you don’t allow me to run my own things
you sucked dry my mind
you spit me out like a pit
bitter taste
seems you got no time to waste
was it all for nothing
don’t want to fight for an illusion
seems it don’t matter anyway

For so many years
we blindly strayed across thin ice
don’t solve our problems
but get lost in deepest night
not knowing what we carried
always in our minds
with traces
leads so far before our time
So all we do ends up in pain
it’s no use to remain
it’s all over

Now
shake off your sweaty chains
go that step too far
don’t waste precious time

The bleeding ceased
the wound screams out and on
damned in an everlasting fire
we can’t undo what’s already done
that’s not a question of desire
I slowly start to realize
there’s a life here on my own
my
and mine I need to live
