Shoulders Songtext
von Bent Van Looy

Every morning when the doorbell rings she cries
And by noon she′s rolling on the floor on line
And tonight she'll take you to the dance
No need to call an ambulance
She is very special all the time

When the party′s over she just wants to stay
Everybody knows she hasn't slept for days
She has a hard time making friends
She always lacked the confidence

And now she wants to take you for a ride

Take her away
Put her on your shoulders
Give her a break
She won't be here long
And whisper her name
I don′t need to hear it
Cause it′s not my shoulders anymore


She will climb the walls when all the world's asleep
And on new year′s day she's choking back the tears
The tears she cries for absent friends
And things she′ll never understand

Like why on earth the ocean is so deep

Take her away
Put her on your shoulders
Give her a break
She won't be here long
And whisper her name
I don′t need to hear it
Cause it's not my shoulders anymore

She should take it easy
I only wanna help out
By lifting her up
And blowing away the clouds

You are playing dead when she knocks on your door
Let me tell you friend we've all been there before
But at night when you are on your own
You know that somewhere in this world
She′s dancing in the bull′s eye of a storm


Take her away
Put her on your shoulders
Give her a break
She won't be here long
And whisper her name
I don′t need to hear it
Cause it's not my shoulders anymore

Take her away
Put her on your shoulders
Give her a break
She won′t be here long
And whisper her name
I don't need to hear it
Cause it′s not my shoulders anymore

And I'm not her soldier that's for sure
And perhaps it′s time to let her go
