The one thing that I regret, is
I didn’t laugh enough
I didn’t realize
There are short cuts to happiness
just needed to look
for some more
singing and dancing
In the silence between us
Lies the secret
Please protect
my solitude

Oh, my solitude

Oh don’t brag and don’t despair
I am not unaware
Words are plenty
winds are rough
And when the ice is too thin
to carry us
Then walk alone for a while
I‘ll find you on the other side
September sure comes
for a while
just play your drums

Oh, I’m moving on
I‘m moving on…

If I can’t find a way in
if I can’t find a way out
I will build it myself, I try
And joy will multiply
if all makes sense

‘Cause if you don’t get
what you want
It might a happy
coincidence
You’ll stand still
In silence
With your heartbeat
In defiance

I’m moving on
I‘m moving on…
