lyrics

This Place
it affects me strangely
and the things I see
take me back to another me.
stepping out of the frame
stepping into the same
river twice
there's a place without a name

here and now
is there and then
each step ahead takes me back again
there and then
is here and now
a dress rehearsal for
a farewell bow

streets and houses - bushes and trees
people all around - that make me me
a first-time taste - a captivating smell
nothing later in life I know so well

a good and kind landscape of the mind
reanimation of the dead
a consolation for a crazy race
there's still this place

puppet strings of habit now in disarray
a fresh breeze blows through my head
tangled threads of time and space
there's still this place

got to get rid of those voices
saying look after number one
don't go soft in the head
you know the rat race is on

instrumental reason
the whole world as a pawn in my game
one-upmanship and strife
where war and hate are rife
give me back my life
give me back my life

an unknown page in the book
yet the book is still the same
a wistful gaze that left its trace
in another life
a life without a name

there and then
is here and now
no time yet
for a farewell bow
a perpetual now
is there and then
a now that takes me back again

a beam of light - in a foggy street
turn the next corner - and there we meet
a familiar spot - where the dark can do no harm
no sense of direction - just moving on and on

a good and kind landscape of the mind
reanimation of the dead
a consolation for a crazy race
there's still this place

puppet strings of habit now in disarray
a fresh breeze blows through my head
tangled threads of time and space
there's still this place
