歌名:High Hope
歌手:Maarja
did we leave it for tomorrow
find new rooms behind closed doors
should not go there so soon
said goodbye to fading summer
and by that last walk on that shore
it is your first on the moon
high hope, high fall
did we really find it all?
i wonder where it is gone away
high hope, high fall
our big dreams now seem so small
i wonder when it is gone away
heard a thousand ringing churchbells
from my yester diary
i saw you, i saw me
all these pages turn to ashes
like my love but still it seems
they are part of my dreams
high hope, high fall
did we really find it all?
i wonder where it is gone away
high hope, high fall
our big dreams now seem so small
i wonder when it is gone away
looking back on life romances
did we ever learn just what it means
to love
someone to die for, someone to live for
forever
high hope, high fall
did we really find it all?
i wonder where it is gone away
high hope, high fall
our big dreams now seem so small
i wonder when it is gone away
