Lyrics: © Arne Erdmann 2015
Music: Bob Dylan
I can see it in your eyes, I can hear it in your voice
I will stay and you will leave, we both have no choice
It seems I am collecting farewells of this kind
I am one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind
I will sit a long time watching the space where you have been
reconstructing my mistakes, your beauty and my sin
but then I’ll get exhausted ‚cause truth I will not find
I am one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind
Time may tell from a distance that I’m not really bad
just unsteady, too resistant and a little bit too sad
you’ll distinguish my deeds from the pictures in your mind
but you’ll be one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind
as my memory is fading and you’re swallowed by the past
remain two things I remember and I know that they will last
how my doubts led into darkness and your smile used to shine
I am one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind
