Medley of Prague

(Songs listened to and from Prague)

And I have to speculate
That God Himself did make us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch
But it’s thoughts like this that catch my troubled head
When you’re away when I am missing you to death

This city’s made us crazy and we must get out
Let’s go away for a while, you and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don’t understand anyway
Holiday far away let’s go today
In a heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I’d like to say to you
But I don’t know how

I have run; I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

They will see us waving from such great heights
“Come down now,” they’ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
“Come down now,” but we’ll stay

How would this be if I was alone tonight?
Maybe then, everything would turn out right

I was in love with the place
In my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
In my mind, in my mind
If I was crying in the van with my friend
It was for freedom from myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes

Today was gonna be the day
But they’ll never throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you’re not to do
And all the roads that led you there were winding
And all the lights that lead you there are blinding
There are many things that I’d like to say to you
But I don’t know how
Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me…

You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

You left me on the shelf
And now there’s no one to rely on
But if it’s all the same to you
Here’s what I’m gonna do
This could be the last train…

This city’s made us crazy and we must get out
“This is not goodbye,” she said
“It’s just time for me to rest my head”
There’s only so much I can do for you
After all the things you’ve put me through
This city’s made us crazy and we must get out

Heartbeat, heartbeat
Let’s go today, let’s go away, just let’s go away in a heartbeat

You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our minds set
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go

For I’m bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I’ll die upon this train
Will I ever see you again?
I’ll see you on the other side

Everything will be alright
For now, Goodbye
Friend, Goodbye
