Happy Endings Songtext

von Eight Seconds

I board a train that runs by the river
It goes to a place far away
And as it runs to the very last station
I can hear myself say good-bye to the people
Who travel further than I

Platform cold and empty
Only sounds are footsteps my own
Light am I, I brought along nothing
For nothing I own

Oh I don't know
What it is I'll find in this place
I feel a tear and it's running down, I hope that it is mine
But it's only the wind in my face

I walk along a spectrum of colours
The colors remind me of you
And as they fade along with the memory
I remember I said good-bye to the people
Who travel further than I

I'm facing a hill with the sun as its crown
Long dry grass sways back and forth
Beckons me to climb

Oh I don't know
What it is I'll find at the top
And as I make my way I think I see a glimpse of you
But then it's gone and I don't feel the loss

I see the memories as pictures that are black and white
And the colourless meanings they send

I'm at the top for what seems like forever
And this is the place where I'll stay
At the site of perpetual sunset

I forget if I said good-bye to the people
Who travel further than I

Yes this is my home
The place of happy endings.
