I walk the maze of moments 00:10

But everywhere I turn to 00:13

Begins a new beginning 00:15

But never finds a finish 00:18

I walk to the horizon 00:20

And there I find another 00:23

It all seems so surprising 00:25

And then I find that I know 00:27

You go there, you're gone forever 00:32

I go there, I'll lose my way 00:34

If we stay here we're not together 00:36

Anywhere is 00:39

The moon upon the ocean 00:41

Is swept around in motion 00:44

But without ever knowing 00:46

The reason for its flowing 00:49

In motion on the ocean 00:51

The moon still keeps on moving 00:53

The waves still keep on waving 00:56

And I still keep on going 00:58

You go there, you're gone forever 01:03

I go there, I'll lose my way 01:05

If we stay here we're not together 01:08

Anywhere is 01:10

I wonder if the stars sign 01:12

The life that is to be mine 01:16

And would they let their light shine 01:18

Enough for me to follow? 01:21

I look up to the heavens 01:23

But night has clouded over 01:26

No spark of constellation 01:28

No Vela, no Orion 01:31

The shells upon the warm sands 02:06

Have taken from their own lands 02:08

The echo of their story 02:11

But all I hear are low sounds 02:13

As pillow words are weaving 02:16

And willow waves are leaving 02:18

But should I be believing 02:21

That I am only dreaming? 02:23

You go there, you're gone forever 02:27

I go there, I'll lose my way 02:29

If we stay here we're not together 02:32

Anywhere is 02:34

To leave the thread of all time 02:38

And let it make a dark line 02:41

In hopes that I can still find 02:43

The way back to the moment 02:45

I took the turn and turned to 02:48

Begin a new beginning 02:50

Still looking for the answer 02:53

I cannot find the finish 02:56

It's either this or that way 02:58

It's one way or the other 03:01

It should be one direction 03:03

It could be on reflection 03:05

The turn I have just taken 03:08

The turn that I was making 03:10

I might be just beginning 03:13

I might be near the end 03:15

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I walk the maze of moments

But everywhere I turn to

Begins a new beginning

But never finds a finish

I walk to the horizon

And there I find another

It all seems so surprising

And then I find that I know

You go there, you're gone forever

I go there, I'll lose my way

If we stay here we're not together

Anywhere is

The moon upon the ocean

Is swept around in motion

But without ever knowing

The reason for its flowing

In motion on the ocean

The moon still keeps on moving

The waves still keep on waving

And I still keep on going

You go there, you're gone forever

I go there, I'll lose my way

If we stay here we're not together

Anywhere is

I wonder if the stars sign

The life that is to be mine

And would they let their light shine

Enough for me to follow?

I look up to the heavens

But night has clouded over

No spark of constellation

No Vela, no Orion

The shells upon the warm sands

Have taken from their own lands

The echo of their story

But all I hear are low sounds

As pillow words are weaving

And willow waves are leaving

But should I be believing

That I am only dreaming?

You go there, you're gone forever

I go there, I'll lose my way

If we stay here we're not together

Anywhere is

To leave the thread of all time

And let it make a dark line

In hopes that I can still find

The way back to the moment

I took the turn and turned to

Begin a new beginning

Still looking for the answer

I cannot find the finish

It's either this or that way

It's one way or the other

It should be one direction

It could be on reflection

The turn I have just taken

The turn that I was making

I might be just beginning

I might be near the end
