Can you hear the music?
Calling through the air
All the people answer
I can't see you anywhere
All the smiling faces
With starlight in their eyes
The happy music's playing
I'm walking away
Another summer season
Flowers everywhere
Days that lasts forever
Nights without you here
All the smiling faces
With starlight in their eyes
The happy music's playing
I'm walking away
The waves are building
The birds are singing
I wish that I could fly
Ocean's roaring
You are calling
I want to touch the sky
All the smiling faces
With starlight in their eyes
The happy music's playing
I'm walking away

Acid rain starts to fall…
Echoes of a past
future clouds are looming
no calm before the storm
no shelter I can hide in
remember yesterday
a lovers sweet embrace
tomorrow’s closing in
Acid rain starts to fall
Acid rain starts to fall
Can you hear the silence?
the sun's no longer shining
no birds are in the air
those that can are running
remember yesterday
the grass beneath our feet
the dark skies have no mercy
these shadows reached us all
Acid rain starts to fall
Acid rain starts to fall
The future's soon upon us
will anything remain?
our hearts grow strong together
but now here comes the rain
from dark skies with no mercy
these shadows reached us all
our hearts grow strong together
but now
acid rain starts to fall
acid rain starts to fall
acid rain starts to fall

There Once Was a Girl

There once was a girl
with raven hair
so many stories
does anyone care?
On a road to nowhere
a night without stars
a concrete city
a life in the dark
another bottle
of broken dreams
in the sounds of the city
no-one cares if you scream
there once was a girl
with raven hair
so many stories
does anyone care?
words leave no bruises
so the pain isn't real
at least he won't hit you
no wounds to be seen
there once was a girl
with raven hair
so many stories
does anyone care?
what will you find
at the end of that rope
a noose or a snare?
freedom or hope?
there once was a girl
with raven hair
so many stories
On a road to nowhere
with a bottle of wine
there once was a girl
who still wonders why
with the city behind you
and stars in the sky
the dark is leaving
so kiss it goodbye
there once was a girl
with raven hair
there once was a girl
…
…
does anyone care?
