Parades Songtext
von Semler

Forty accents out of England
I don′t know 'em all
But I could find the North of Midlands
With an echo in a hall
The only voice
Who ever knew me
Like I had a due North
And I never even told her
So what was it for?

Now I′m reaching out
I hope I'm allowed to say I noticed you
Patient eyes and honey hues
I opened my mouth
Nothing would come out
We're strangers now it′s true
But I wish I′d sung parades for you


I learned when hearts crack open
They don't fully close
My sleeves soaked up only her name
I had to change clothes
I was so scared of people knowing
What I couldn′t ignore
Now I stand here dry and wiser
What was it for?

Yeah I'm reaching out
I hope I′m allowed to say I noticed you
Patient eyes and honey hues
I opened my mouth
Nothing would come out
We're strangers now it′s true
But I wish I'd sung parades for you

Not for nothing
If you loved me
It meant something
We were something

Yeah I'm reaching out
I hope I′m allowed to say I noticed you
Patient eyes, honey hues
I opened my mouth
Nothing would come out
We′re strangers now it's true
But I wish I′d sung parades for you
