Looking Back Songtext
von Mount Rushmore

Dust is to dust, ashes to ashes
Except for the things your mind flashes

Old shadows, clouds of red
Go ′round your mind, entwine your head
As if what you are looking through
Is to stare right back at you

But they've been going down before
People and the places gone before
When you′re looking back

It's hard to put in black and white
But if you know, you know I'm right
Another time, another place
You′ve been here before but there′s no trace
Except in your own mind

And what do you know about time
And age and all those things
Looking back
Oh!


Mountains, valleys
River bottom and alleyways
Just count the years
You know it's been so long
Across your mind
The bird has flown
Your body dies
But your soul remains
To be reborn
And be born again

Rivers pouring into seas
Crystal sands are sparkling
Look back and find
What I have found
When I′ve been looking back (Back)

Oh!
Dark shadows and lines of red
Go 'round your mind, entwine your head

Eyes of one you are looking through
They stare right back at you
The changes I have been going down before
Yeah, all the people and the places gone before
When you′re looking back
Looking back
Looking back
Looking back
