Lyrics
WHEREVER WE ARE
Where the river runs through the mountains steep
And hardly a man could live there
Where the silver wind blows the snow to heaps
And the warmth of the sun is stripped bare
In a deep cave where nobody has ever been
On ledges, thin and afar
Wherever we are
Where the shadows of trees cool us down and a breeze lifts our hair when we dance
Where the sheep run ahead to the hill and the dog is getting wild at the fence
In a meadow where nobody has ever been
Under a cloud shaped like a star
Wherever we are
Where pedestrians hurry themselves ducking, cursing, skipping red lights
Where the sirene's call and there is no attention at all where policemen and all babies cry
In a rain that nobody has ever been in
In the back of a chock-a-block bar
Wherever we are
Where the birds go when they are tired of the world, where the air is thin
Where there is no excuse and you can't find a spur of original sin
On a planet where nobody's ever been
Oh nobody has been
Wherever we are
Where the shadows of trees cool us down and a breeze lifts our hair while we dance
