Charles Bridge

I heard about your truth, through all your lies

I heard you struggling, despite your alibis

Well, me, I've got nothing left here to do

Despite tryin' my best, I couldn't see it through

So, already in a state of alienation,

The next morning found myself waiting at the station

‍

Next train, Leipzig to Prague

I did some thinking; the journey was long

To hold you together, make sense of the senseless,

To Charles Bridge, I came and laid down my defences

Next train, Leipzig to Prague

To create order from a chaos gone wrong

Anxious as ever as I rode the line,

To Charles Bridge, I journeyed to make the boy mine

‍

How can I help? Tell me what can I do,

With no good answers, I'll be coming to you

If nothing else, I'll be standing by your side

If nothing more, I'll be along for the ride

And while I don't pretend to be some bearer of salvation,

The next morning you'll find me waiting at the station.

‍

Next train, Leipzig to Prague

I did some thinking; the journey was long

To hold you together, make sense of the senseless,

To Charles Bridge, I came and laid down my defences

Next train, Leipzig to Prague

To create order from a chaos gone wrong

Anxious as ever as I rode the line,

To Charles Bridge, I journeyed to make the boy mine.

Put us together, put this in order, there are no barriers, there are no borders

‍

And I'd do it all again

Give up all that which came before

I have zero regrets

I'm giving up so little to gain so much more

The rain came pouring down

It made no difference at all to me

Just let the water roll off

Let the rain wash away our fears and set us free

‍

Next train, Leipzig to Prague

I did some thinking; the journey was long

Let's build a future out of you and me,

To Charles Bridge, I came to meet my destiny

Next train, Leipzig to Prague

I want to weather the world with you

Certain as ever as I rode that line,

To Charles Bridge,

I journeyed to make you, to make you mine.

So, will you be mine?

Let's build a future out of you and me,

When I met you, I met my destiny.

So I'll take the next train, Leipzig to Prague

Next train, Leipzig to Prague...
