Lyrics[]
I can't get my mind out of those memories
Now time to tell them, "Don't take my dream"
Still, music keeps on turning me from the words that hurt my soul
Removing doubts from my mind
Those long days passing by from that door
Like late summer, they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune
Playing all day with my eyes closed
Those long days passing by from that door
Like late summer, they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune, filling me with those sounds
I can't get my mind out of those memories
Now time to tell them, "Don't take my dream"
Still, music keeps on turning me from the words that hurt my soul
Removing doubts from my mind
Those long days passing by from that door
Like late summer, they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune
Playing all day with my eyes closed
Those long days passing by from that door
Like late summer, they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune, filling me with those sounds
I can't get my mind out of those memories
Now time to tell them, "Don't take my dream"
Still, music keeps on turning me from the words that hurt my soul
Removing doubts from my mind
Those long days passing by from that door
Like late summer, they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune
Playing all day with my eyes closed
Those long days passing by from that door
Like late summer, they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune, filling me with those sounds
I can't remember the smile, that you gave it to me
I have no way to tell you, "Don't walk away"
Still, sorrow keeps on tying me, but my soul wants to get free
Let my heart loose from a chain
Those long days passing by from that door
Like frail snow, they slowly disappear
Finding ways through the favorite thoughts, cocoon me in floaty bliss
Those long days passing by from that door
Like frail snow, they slowly disappear
Finding ways through the favorite friends
Filling me with warm embrace
Those long days passing by from that door
Like late summer, they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune
Playing all day with my eyes closed
Those long days passing by from that door
Like late summer, they slowly fade away
Finding ways through the favorite tune, filling me with those sounds
