lyrics

Turtles
Maybe the world was made for us
So that we could find eachother in it
The world is nothing but for the fact
Love found it in our image

Never rely on what you see
Not everything can be seen

If the world vanishes without trace
what is left is ours to face
our little life is fraught with choice
I hope we don't take a wrong turn

Never rely on what you see
not everything can be seen

I will always believe that love
is the highest value
but i don't believe that love
is the answer, nor the solution

Love is a force of nature like the sun
as necessary, as impersonal, and as gigantic
warming, and drought-giving as it is life-giving
when it burns out, the planet dies...

Never rely...

We meet, we don't meet, we have lunch
so good to see you again
did we unconsciously choose the wrong road
it always leads to nowhere

Turtles hatch in the sand
not many of them make it to the sea
once there, the sharks are waiting
days disappear and get swallowed up
But the ones that make it swim out
and return for the rest of your life

Don't wait, don't tell the story later
life is so short, this stretch of sea and sand
this walk along the shore
don't wait, don't tell the story later
before the tide covers everything

A Story with a happy ending?
There's no such thing my dear
just an ending.......the beginning of what happens next
