Origineel
Love was never enough throughout time, yet some give it up. well, you kept me standing alone. if only i could have one dance i would move on my own. in tattered daydreams that slip through the night. i’m prince, king, warrior, and i’m doing things right. but every daydream leaves me awake all the night. if i was a bird, spread my wings, and take off and fly. yeah yeah yeah yeah. I had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle. that when they’re gathered break will dew on the knuckle. i had small sweets but those seemed small when i was young. the petal of the rose was strung. yeah, na-na na-na. So in this dream i walk with my head held high. cause here i’ll live forever and never die. i see my soul straight ahead with his eyes locked on mine. if i should wake right now, i’d rather be blind. and in these dreams with love, together we’d stand. i’m slipping, falling to earthward and i can’t reach your hand. yeah yeah yeah yeah. I had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle. that when they’re gathered break will dew on the knuckle. i had small sweets but those seemed small when i was young. the petal of the rose was strung. yeah, na-na na-na. My eyes open wide and i’ve lost myself. i’m laying here in my bed, there’s nobody else. surrounded by questions, hate, and blood soaked war. i clasp my hands together and pray, ask what it’s all for. It’s easy for me to slip away and live on the air. if we’d all just let love live we could all meet there. but time has its way of saying it’s time to move on. so off to my kingdom i go where i feel at home. yeah yeah yeah yeah. I had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle. that when they’re gathered break will dew on the knuckle. i had small sweets but those seemed small when i was young. the petal of the rose was strung. yeah yeah yeah
Vertaling
Liefde was nooit genoeg door de tijd heen, toch geven sommigen het op. nou, je liet me alleen staan. als ik maar een dans kon hebben zou ik alleen bewegen. in haveloze dagdromen die door de nacht glijden. ik ben prins, koning, krijger, en ik doe dingen goed. maar elke dagdroom laat me de hele nacht wakker. als ik een vogel was, spreidde mijn vleugels, en steeg op en vloog. ja ja ja ja. I had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle. that when they’re gathered break will dow on the knuckle. I had small sweets but those seemed small when I was young. the petal of the rose was strined. yeah, na-na na-na. So in this dream I walk with my head held high. cause here I’ll live forever and never die. I see my soul straight ahead with his eyes locked on mine. if I should wake right now, I’d rather be blind. and in these dreams with love, together we’d stand. I’m slipping, falling to earthward and I can’t reach your hand. yeah yeah yeah yeah. I had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle. that when they’re gathered break will dow on the knuckle. I had small sweets but those seemed small when I was young. the petal of the rose was strung. yeah, na-na na-na. Mijn ogen gaan wijd open en ik ben mezelf kwijt. Ik lig hier in mijn bed, er is niemand anders. omringd door vragen, haat, en bloed doordrenkte oorlog. ik klem mijn handen samen en bid, vraag waar het allemaal voor is. Het is makkelijk voor mij om weg te glippen en in de lucht te leven. Als we allemaal de liefde zouden laten leven, zouden we elkaar daar kunnen ontmoeten. Maar de tijd heeft zijn manier om te zeggen dat het tijd is om verder te gaan. Dus ga ik naar mijn koninkrijk waar ik me thuis voel. Ja, ja, ja. I had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle. that when they’re gathered break will dow on the knuckle. I had small sweets but those seemed small when I was young. the petal of the rose was strung. yeah yeah yeah
