Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Down from the country road

To the waterwheel

You were standing on a giant stone

In your grandpas coat

I can't see you in my dreams

I don't know why

You know that I will do my best

Just to see you there

In my best suit I will lie in bed

Just to see you there

Just to see you there

Fear is walking by your side

So close to thee

I can't see you in my dreams

I don't know why
