- How Can I Leave You Again Lyrics / with translationsdi di di di di
la la la la la la
In a spaceship over the mountains
chasing rainbows in the setting sun
Leaving heart and home
for the city of angels
I feel my life is undone
There are pathways winding below me
in pleasure I've gone where they go
In the quiet stillness
I can hear symphonies
the loveliest music I know
(chorus)
How can I leave you again?
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm I've gone blind
Oh how can I leave you again?
Oh it's been a long
time since I've listened
Still longer since
I've walked with you
For the first time
I know what I'm missing
Some answers are no longer true
So I question the
course that I follow
I'm doubtful and
deep in despair
My heart is full
of impossible notions
Can it be you no longer care?
Still I ride on the
wings of a high wind
Blowing steady and
strong behind me
As the clouds surrender
my fate is for certain
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea
(chorus)
la la la la la la
In a spaceship over the mountains
chasing rainbows in the setting sun
Leaving heart and home
for the city of angels
I feel my life is undone
There are pathways winding below me
in pleasure I've gone where they go
In the quiet stillness
I can hear symphonies
the loveliest music I know
(chorus)
How can I leave you again?
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm I've gone blind
Oh how can I leave you again?
Oh it's been a long
Still longer since
I've walked with you
For the first time
I know what I'm missing
Some answers are no longer true
So I question the
course that I follow
I'm doubtful and
deep in despair
My heart is full
of impossible notions
Can it be you no longer care?
Still I ride on the
wings of a high wind
Blowing steady and
strong behind me
As the clouds surrender
my fate is for certain
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea
