Return to Us Songtext
von The Lilac Time

If a song can change a theatre
A song can change a town
And if a song can change a city
Pick you up and not put you down
Then a song can change a country
And then try to change the world

The rocking horses soon will ride
A rocket ship with us inside
Will take us to our hidden pride and purpose

Return to us
We′re right where you left us
Return to us
We're singing the same song
Return to us
We won′t ask you where you've been
'Cause we′ve all made mistakes before
And now you′re here we'll make some more


If you don′t know where you're going
I will be your guide
And when you can go no further
I′ll be by your side
You are sister to the moon that shines
And sister to the tide

It's never on the evening news
When Susan Sontag sings the blues
Pretending or expensive shoes
It′s your call

Return to us
This time we'll make a difference
Return to us

'Cause we don′t have much time
Return to us
Admit the seas are rising
It′s not our country anymore
Get ready for a civil war
Where once were rights they changed the law
The fights we won are won no more
Silence will fall there is no doubt
For it's treason if you think to shout
Welcome to the blackout


If I′m with her and you're with me
Let′s make a human chain
The bigots and the racists always say
They're wise again
But if the universe is infinite
They′re a little shitty stain
If disco sucks then so does rock
And Frank O'Hara's in the dock
Let′s stop them turning back the clock
Much further

Return to us
We′re right where you left us
Return to us
We're singing the same song
Return to us
We won′t ask you where you've been
′Cause we've all made mistakes before
And now you′re here we'll make some more
