Amber Long Walk Home
I count my steps in the dark to not be afraid
when walking the streets in the city I hate
Searching for a home
Searching for a safe place at night
Where are the people I love in the city I hate
Its getting colder every step I go further
more quiet in the streets the voices get louder
I start running an endless way
Isn't there anyone running with me
Where are the lights of the streets chasing out the
ghosts of the night
It's getting darker I try to run faster
Run faster, run the ghosts say
Run until you reach the rivers of all floating time
Each will bring you out of this labyrinth of dark
streets
Where you never know which turn is the right to bring
you back to the light
But hurry in these rainy days the rivers get higher
they pull you under they drag you along
Run my dear run faster my dear, Run the ghosts say
Where are the people I love in the city I hate
Isn't there anyone running with me?
It's getting darker - I try to run faster
Where are the lights of the streets chasing out the
ghosts?
There are ghosts in the streets
There are ghosts in the walls
There are ghosts in my head
Running with me
I try to run as fast as I can
These were the days when I couldn't stop running away
