When You Were Mine Songtext
von Planeausters

All the secret powers
They could not keep
Your voice from speaking out
When you were mine
Established in a fever
Under a drunkard spell
Oh they′re inventing knowledge
Before it fell
I've got no language to speak in
I use colors
Some aren′t even invented
But they're ours


My eyes upon the open sea
There is no trace
Of the freedom that is promised
For every man
I'm in Chicago this morning
Lake Street
Under the elevated
Rain at my feet
I always see clearly
When we′re apart
Always that pain of missing you
Like at the start
