Album: Welcome

I Can't Tell

These are the last 10 minutes before you go
and what could I tell you - I don't know
Your bag is packed - you've got your raincoat on
you're still here but your love is gone

now I could lock you in a cage and throw away the key
I could put you on an island with sharks in the sea
I could tie you up - put aleash around your neck
but it doesn't make sense to hold you back
because like . . .

I can't tell the sun to shine in the night
I can't tell the moon to warm up it's light
I can't the summer forever to stay
I can't your love not to fade away
like I can't the clouds to stop the rain
I can't tell the ocean to swallow my pain
I can't tell the time to bring back yaesterday
I can't tell your love not to fade away

you look out of the wondow into the night
I konw there is someone waitin' outside
it's too late to fight I can't even cry
nothing can stop your last goodbye

now I could put you in chains and build a chinese wall
could kiss you night and day no one will hear you call
I could pay the police to keep in town
but if love wants to fly you can't keep it down

and now that you close the door it won't change anything anymore
I felt the million miles between us long before
