Statues Songtext
von Amy Macdonald

There′s a boy across the street
He's just trying to find his way
Coming over to my house
I see him every day
His mom and dad are busy
They never have the time
To listen to his feelings
What′s playing on his mind

All the children stand like statues
On the street where I was born
It's a street where nothing changes
But the road where I come from
Now the cherry blossoms fall
And the nights are drawing in
Oh I'm standing here unfrozen
As the world goes ′round again


The playground bell keeps ringing
The moving van appears
A change about to happen
That we haven′t seen for years
Our family's moving in
I never thought I′d see
On the street where nothing changes
A girl that looks like me

I watch her from across the street
I don't know what to say
Time will tell if we′ll be friends
But that's another day

All the children stand like statues
On the street where I was born
It′s a street where nothing changes
But the road where I come from
Now the cherry blossoms falling
And the nights are drawing in
Oh I'm standing here unfrozen
As the world goes 'round again

Don′t change nothing at all
Streetlights lead me back home
Am I dreaming?
Is it morning?
Am I still here?
Am I gone?


All the children stand like statues
On the street where I was born
It′s a street where nothing changes
But the road where I come from
Now the cherry blossoms falling
And the nights are drawing in
Oh, I'm standing here unfrozen
As the world goes ′round again

Now the cherry blossoms falling
And the nights are drawing in
Oh, I'm standing here unfrozen
As the world goes ′round again
And we all go 'round again
