nomad

The other day I looked

At myself in the mirror

Do not hide your face

Do not hide your face

From me when i feel sad

On the day when I call you

Answer me, please answer me

And turn your shy ear towards me

No cows and no grass to graze on

Makes me feel I'm nomad

I'm lost and silent in the wilderness

Like an owl among the ruins

My wings lined with ashes

Alone on the roof

I feel I'm nomad

I feel I'm nomad

I feel I'm nomad

My days go up in smoke

My homes are aching

My days go up in smoke

My heart is breaking

Good waiking leaves no track behind it

Do not hide your face

Do not hide your face

From me when I feel sad
