Stoic Songtext
von Have/Hold

Lately I′ve been feeling
Adrift upon the sea
Like I am not the captain
And time does not belong to me
I'm stoic as a scarecrow
Unbothered by the breeze
This is someone else′s suffering and now
My branches would return to trees

Furrow in the brow and charming
Sternly cast a long lined shadow
Window is a mirror and the past is a reflection
All good children go to heaven
Past the garden, past temptation
Past the proletariat and past the waves of the shame


And I can wait for you only so long now
Put on your dancing shoes
And spin

Artful is as artful does
These parties always end up early
Won't these Yankee animals stop pawing at your skirts?
And if you work your muscles stiff
And bruise your knuckles at an easel
You'll be working then you′re leaving something
Long after you′re dead

And I can wait for you only so long now
Put on your dancing shoes
And spin

I can wait for you
I can wait for you
