Letra Tale from a small town Ray Wilson

Tale from a small town

In a small town, somewhere on the eastern side of the Elbe
A girl looks at the sky, believing that someday she could learn how to fly
And held within this vision, where her secrets lived and breathe
With an inner desire to be free

And they all new she was special, from her first years as a child
Almost like an inner glow, only visible with faith
But you don't ask many questions and you don't reveal your fear
It's here that you belong, there is nowhere else to be

And to light up your life, you have your family and friends who never listen
You can fall into line, just like your mama did and her mama before

It begins as an obsession and ends in misery
Till you're faced with the decision, to stay or to break free
And the choice is never easy, so you have to take and give
Either learning how to die or learning how to live

And to light up your life, you have your family and friends who never listen
You can fall into line, just like your mama did and her mama before
With all your inhibitions increasing inside and no one to talk to
The time has arrived to go your own way, if you don't you'll just regret it

Oh Lord, what else can you do
No one understands how it feels to be
All this indecision is killing me

And to light up your life, you have your family and friends who never listen
You can fall into line, just like your mama did and her mama before
With all your ambitions increasing inside and no one to talk to
The time has arrived to go your own way, if you don't you'll just regret it

If you don't you'll just regret it
