Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I saw you leaving, on that cold and windy day
Saw you off, on that day, from that train station
The railroad was slowly fading away
Winter was, coming to, the town where I use to live
[Bridge]
I know that you were always dreaming about
A different way of living; just a new start
You weren't looking at the sudden farewell
But the new point for starting, just turn around 'cause I won't forget you
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna choose a different way to go against
The north wind, which is now, getting so gusty and cold
I've got a heavy luggage on an empty seat
I'm alone, I feel sad, I'm missing you in my car
[Bridge]
You cannot live forgetting anything but
You can't forget it baby; it's your graduation
No matter how far you are staying apart
You're living on your own, so, please don't surrender, I am beside you
[Chorus]
Take your time, we're looking for freedom
It's a long distance, it's a lonely long journey (till)
One day comes, I will keep on waiting
Love is strong, that's the reason of my lovin'
[Post-Chorus]
I tell you "even in the deepest misery"
(You) must be strong, and be tight, and use your resistance"
You're holding in your arms the new map of your heart
Looking for the future: it is your resistance
You'd better not to go, go following the flow
Don't get down, don't let down, the river beneath your feet
I know you're honest baby, living honestly
Don't give up, don't leave out, and keep on running with me
[Bridge]
Unless I get out of this matter I can't
I really can't go beyond your high graduation
No matter how far are you staying apart
You're living on your own, so, please don't surrender, I am beside you
[Chorus]
Take your time we're looking for freedom
It's a long distance, it's a lonely long journey (till)
One day comes, you will make it with your strength
Love is strong, that's the reason of my lovin'
[Post-Chorus]
I'm asking baby: "Are you living truthfully,
Without looking away, using your resistance?"
I see the flames and fire burning in your eyes
Leading you to the future: it's your resistance
I tell you "even when a cold night freezes you
Don't get down, don't let down, you'd better never give up"
I know you're honest baby, living honestly
Don't give up, don't leave out, and keep on running with me
