Strings and Old Machines Songtext
von Marlophone

I saw you on a wing
And heard the raindrops singing
And you were bright like breaking clouds
Long before we left the ground
A let go and you flew with ease
The laws of gravity
And the rolling ground were tied to breathe
While you counted galaxies


The things you haven′t seen
The sounds of silver screens
They're nothing like your dreams
Just strings and old machines

I sketched another image
The kind you might have once been
Imagine what blue whispers in the wind would mean
As you′re setting them free

The things you haven't seen
The sounds of silver screens
They're nothing like your dreams
Just strings and old machines


Nothing like the colors of your dreams
Striding all across the sky like silver schemes
Hold your arm while we have a revel watch they gleam
Hold your arm and flying in an old machine
