Yesterday I fought some trouble,
some cold and heavy trouble
by myself, by myself.
Walking on the cracks of my soul,
those shiny, slippery cracks of my soul
by myself, by myself.
(2x)
I. Refrain
And, Oh, all your love is flooding me
and washes away all that I held on to.
Where, where am I, loosing sight at all those frames
I place myself in.
(2x)
II. Strophe
Yesterday I fought some trouble,
some cold and heavy trouble
by myself, by myself.
Breaking out of the troubles I used to fight all by myself,
Taking lonely memories from these old and rusty shelves,
Reaching out for you through the smoke rings of my mind,
It‘s hard to find somebody if you‘re looking out to find.
There are pillows all around me from the words you gave to me,
They‘re inviting me to lie down to set me free,
and I realise that fear was the wall between our smiles
and that it‘s you that I found when I was not looking out to find.
Walking on the cracks of my soul,
those shiny, slippery cracks of my soul
by myself, by myself
II. Refrain
And, Oh, all your love is flooding me
and washed away all that I held on to.
Said, where, where am I, loosing sight at all these frames
I place myself in.
