Lyrics and translation

Original

Did you hear forever?

Was it playing soft and low?

It's not a song you wanna hear if you're not ready to go.

You're not alone in the bright blue air, not alone if there's no one there at all.

You're not alone if your voice is unheard, not alone the song of the mockingbird. Don't burst on.

They appear and then they're gone.

I swear it, where music is made you'll be there.

And as the morning light stretches out across the floor, can't believe it's another day and life goes on like it did before.

You're not alone when you're on your knees, not alone if no one sees you fall.

You never took a broken call.

And you are not alone when you close your eyes and slip into a dream that takes you to the other side.

All the songs in your head, dizzy as the music goes.

Stupid songs you can't forget, beyond pretty, beyond beautiful.

Wherever the strange is on parade, wherever music is made, you'll be there.

Did you know he is close to God, who makes his old friends laugh?

Did you know how the magician,

I watched him disappear from a photograph.
