So much music filled the air
While I was busy growing
Rhythms swirling, new songs curving
Youthful faces glowing
I was singing, harps were ringing
Days were summer long
Nothing could go wrong, oh yeah
Nothing could go wrong, oh yeah
And then it changed – feelings strange
An end to all our learning
Old dreams burning, good friends turning
Playful fun turned earnings
I stopped singing, my head was ringing
With the discourse of the damned
In chained, embittered lands, oh yeah
In chained, embittered lands, oh yeah
Friends fought monsters in their heads
Hid in gutters, stayed in bed
The sweetest smiles destroyed by blame
Our fragile loves become a game
Music lay like broken toys
Music made without the joy
We lost too much, we lost too much
We just drifted out of touch
I turned to books and changed my looks
I moved away from where we played
I closed my ears for thirty years
I closed my ears for thirty years
But then the music called my name
The lonely sparks became a flame
I found my words so long unheard
I found my words so long unheard
I was discovering new ways
New ways to fill the empty days
The empty days without the man
Who gave the meaning to my plans
d**h and sadness lost their weight
The strength of strings became my fate
I saw the future and it worked
I saw the future and it worked
So much music fills the air
And I'm still busy growing
Rhythms swirling, new songs curving
Changing winds are blowing
Now I'm singing, harps are ringing
Days feel summer long
Nothing can go wrong, oh yeah
Nothing can go wrong, oh yeah
Nothing can go wrong, oh yeah
Nothing can go wrong, oh yeah
Nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong
Nothing can go wrong, wrong, wrong
