Lena's Schatten stehtnoch immer neben Dir
Erzählst mir viel zu viel von ihr
Sagst, dass es Schnee von gestern wär'
Mit ihr, das ist noch lange nicht vorbei
Und manchmal tut es ganz schön weh
Wenn ich bei Dir ihr Foto seh'
Und Du sagst nur,
da ist doch nichts dabei
Ich kann tun, was ich will
Hab' verdammt oft das Gefühl
Lena's Schatten steht
noch immer neben Dir
Du vergleichst mich mit ihr
Etwas brennt noch tief in Dir
Sie war sie und ich bin ich
Nimm mich endlich wie ich bin
Lena's Schatten muss doch

I got new shoes
I'm walking new ground
I had old friends
But they're no longer around
I'm tired of the same scene
Playing over and over again
Some people saved me
So now I'm gonna save them
I can lay on my back and die like a dog
But there's gotta be more
There's gotta be more!
So thrill me
With something new
Thrill me
With something I can use
Thrill me
With some better news
Thrill me
Anything for money
Now I can see just where you're at
Ain't it funny
How it always bites you back
I could crawl in a hole and hide 'til I'm old

Here where we stand there used to be a forest
A timber rising endlessly before us
We cleared away that God forsaken jungle
And in return the Indians adore us
What was mud now is a highway
Reaching wide into a prairie
Horses run -- cattle are grazing
You would swear it was Oklahoma
Day by day dark is illuminated
God's mistake altered and uncreated
Wrong's made right left to the jungle pioneer
See in the field my little son and daughter
Not long ago that ground was underwater
Now you can see them walking with the cattle
Singing them songs bef

Last night I heard a record playin'
On the radio, as I walked through the door
And the song revived some sweet old memories
'Cause I knew I've heard the tune somewhere before
I stopped a moment and I listened
And then I finally realized
That you were here the night you wrote it
A song called The Beginning Of Goodbye
I knew, that night, that it was over
And that I couldn't keep you. Should I try?
'Cause you were really talkin' to me
When you wrote The Beginning Of Goodbye
You left, and patiently I waited
'Cause I believed you'd write to me
