In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream,
I looked across this world, there's no-one to be seen.
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away,
I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes.
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
As I hesitated time rushed onwards without me.
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall,
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what I want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
An' lost an era daydreaming like do.
(horn solo)
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
As I hesitated time rushed onwards out without me.
Too scared to break the spell to small to take a fall,
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
Hah!
In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream
But look arond this world, there's millions to be seen.
Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall
Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools - 'cos love is our hearts!
I lost some hours thinking of it
I need the strength to go and get what I want
I lost a lifetime thinking of it
And lose an era daydreaming like I do
You can lose some hours thinking of it
You need the strength to go and get what you want
You can lose a lifetime thinking of it
And lose an era daydreaming like I do
