For the melodies and the lyrics... and the beat.
Here is another great band;-)
Story behind the song
This is a song about regretting chances never taken, in times now forlorn.
Lyrics
Verse one
I do not roam these corridors anymore
The dogs´ got my legs and my vision is gone
I don´t feel anger and I cannot sense no hate
Indifferent a-waiting that ol´ Spanish Train
Verse two
Now I feel the taste of long-ago tears
Smell forgotten scents of long-ago fears
The summer day again when everything was lost
Strange reunion with frozen-tide thoughts
Chorus
So come on dreamer, live your dream
Slam another quarter ´to the slotmachine
Come on dreamer, take a chance
Have another swing at the batters stand
Yeah come on dreamer, you win or lose
You´ll have to risk your soul to see your dreams come through
Come on dreamer, at the winters end
I´m not an enemy and you´re not a friend
Verse three
I was afraid, oh I was a sorry fool
In retrospective, here ´came both our lives misused
The bitter taste of salt of what that could have been
I´m tired now, just let me sleep
Verse four
There are some roads, my friend that sometimes´ lost and gone
The junctions that you pass sometimes gets overgrown
Moving on you choose the best paths that you can
Sometimes lust, sometimes greed, oh you understand
Chorus
So come on....
Break
It´s okay, I know when I have lost
It´s alright, not disappointed anymore
Guess I´ve missed the most of the calls
But who on earth is keeping the score
Chorus
So come on....
