S.O.S. Songtext

von Kevin Moore

"...few people... always a few people..."
"...these are the stars and here are the people, look..."
"...so I tried to hitchhike from this exit, there was nothing... that's all
It was the worstest like, like standing time I ever had here in the States
With hitchhiking... I'm standing there, and I'm standing there, and I'm
Standing there... and after a while a, a guy stopped like... I had no money
Or nothing I had nothing to eat and stuff like that... a guy stopped like
With a Jeep and picked me up and... 'well, I have nothing to do, I'll
Drive you to [unintelligible]'..."

Fly blackbird fly
Frozen the sea i see you
Old cover clouds new snow there they go
Silent but wings
Sun orange small i see you
Nowhere is home go alone so alone

"...I was tired, I was... bored, I was... I didn't know where to go, where to
Find a job. I felt... pretty helpless..."

Fly angel fly
Older than me i feel you
Coalcovered clouds white snow there you go
Heard myself call
Far from them all i feel you
Left them behind or ahead and he said

Something's gonna change i can feel it
Last night i had dreams that i was you
I was tearing out the pages of my diary
And a bird flew past my head
So i put them back again 'cause i knew
It's alright to like the way i feel
It's alright to like the way i feel
It's alright to like the way i feel
It's alright to like the way i feel

Cry blackbird cry
Over the waves i hear you
Coalcovered clouds white snow there they go
Ice on your wings
Songless he sings i hear you
Nowhere is home all alone there's a phone

"...I tried to call home because of... I don't know... I wanted to call
Home... where ever call home is... I, I made the re-call, but of course, I
Didn't have the money to pay the telephone... and nobody picked up the
Phone... that was depressing me more than, than everything before..."

Something's gonna change i can feel it
Last night i just stayed at home alone
I was tearing out the pages from my diary
But a bird flew past my head
So i put them back again 'cause i know
It's alright
It's alright to feel the way i feel
Sometimes the answer just comes

"...and after about two months, I had the money together to rent a place...
With the guy together who gave me the first job... it's a pretty, little
World for me, in a way... few people... always a few people..."
