Lyrics

Ich neh me mir die Zeit

auf die cher der Stadt zu gehn.

Dem Le ben zu zu sehn.

still zu stehn.

Al les wirkt so klein, (Ebm)un schein bar ent fernt und weit.

Das Le ben pul siert hier,

weit weg von mir.

Ich leh ne mich zu rück

und ge nie ße die ses Glück.

Ich neh me mir die Zeit

auf die Lich ter der Stadt zu sehn,

die cher ent lang zu gehn

und still zu stehn.

Hier füh le ich mich frei, der (Gb)Ho ri zont ist gren zen los und weit.

Die Groß stadt un ter mir

wie ein Lich ter meer.

Es gibt so vie le Fra gen, (Ebm)tau send Wün sche und Ge dan ken.

Ich bin mit mir al lein

und schenk den Träu men Zeit.

Ich ord ne mei ne Welt, der (Ebm)All tag fliegt an mir vor bei.

Fern (Bbm)ab der Jagd des Le bens

füh le ich mich frei.

Ich leh ne mich zu rück

und ge nie ße die ses Glück.

(Absus4)Al les wirkt so klein.

Das (Absus4)Le ben pul siert

weit weg von hier.

Ich neh me mir die Zeit

auf die Lich ter der Stadt zu sehn,

die cher ent lang zu gehn

und still zu stehn.

Hier füh le ich mich frei, der (Gb)Ho ri zont ist gren zen los und weit.

Die Groß stadt un ter mir

wie ein Lich ter meer.

Ich neh me mir die Zeit,

auf die Lich ter der Stadt zu sehn.

Und still zu stehn.
