Line Them Up

(English Lyrics by Fraser Anderson)

He took a long look, turned around and walked away
to where the sun will shine and the rain won't fall
It was all clear as if his hand had been turned over
he said, "line them up against the sky"

Why should I move a stone that hides my way?
How could I believe she's gone?
God only knows why I never took her there!

He took a deep breath and left
he walked out on his own
to where the streets all shine and the strain wont show
It was all so clear as if the clouds had just rolled over
he said, "line them up against the sky"

Why should I move a stone that hides my way?
How could I believe she's gone?
God only knows why I never took her there!

But then the door blew open wide
Smoke flew out and he fell inside
picked himself up from the ground
he said, "i never lost what I never found"

Why should I move a stone that hides my way?
How could I believe she's gone?
God only knows why I never took her there!

Why should I move a stone that hides my way?
How could I believe she's gone?
God only knows why I never took her there!

原曲の歌詞

とどかぬ夢

(作詞・作曲:財津和夫)

お金は欲しかったけれど それより大事なもの
たとえば愛や友情 それを信じて生きてきた
でもやっぱりお金がすべて
でもやっぱりお金がすべて

本気で愛したあの人も 今は遠い空の下
新しい愛をつかんだと 風が気ままにささやいた
だからやっぱり力がほしい
だからやっぱり力がほしい

夜空の星に手をのべて とどかぬ夢を探せば
淋しさばかりをぶらさげた 一人歩きの僕がいる
でもやっぱり今日も生きてる
でもやっぱり今日も生きてる
