I Want Tomorrow – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Dawn breaks, there is blue in the sky
Your face before me
Though I don't know why
Thoughts disappearing like tears from the Moon
Waiting here, as I sit by the stone
They came before me
Those men from the Sun
Signs from the heavens say I am the one
Now you're here, I can see your light
This light that I must follow
You, you may take my life away, so far away
Now I know I must leave your spell
I want tomorrow
Now you're here, I can see your light
This light that I must follow
You, you may take my life away, so far away
Now I know I must leave your spell
I want tomorrow
