lyrics

They are old friends of mine
They think we've drawn off every chance
And I hope they don't mind at all
My call is gone
I keep standing just to sooth you down
to make you feel proud

Few little things are left to say
Stay by my side
Don’t despair so much if I’m wavering
All things will turn out fine

We only have to try
and watch out
Those gentle drones inside our heads
A thousand new saints for us to come
I‘ll kneel down and pray from time to time

Some lesser parts are left to play,
that won't crush that long longed lull
Please, don't care so much if I'm raving
‘cause all things will turn out fine

When nothing seems to wake me
there'll be nothing to hide

But at times I still pine for
those gloomy kind-hearted advisors.
If them old friends of mine had lasted,
they'd shake their heads and say again
“We knew the right choice is not worth moving on for
Now kneel down and pray some more"

Few little things left to pretend
We shall not overlook their help
Don't get scared so much if I'm wavering
‘cause all things will turn out fine

When nothing seems to wake me
there'll be nothing to hide
