(D. Dickers)

Hey there, could you spare me some time

I'd like to tell a tale of simple pleasures

Some choose to be partners in crime

until they find they cannot live up to the pressure

Just like an ordinary man

I like to pay a small price for heaven

the simple things in live

are keeping me alive

when I'm walking through the gardens of temptation

Away from the darkest shadows

Away from the brightest sun

I'll be forever tryin'

to find some peace of mind

like a man out of time

Nothing's gonna drive me away

I'm feelin' like a knight who's on a mission

People don't believe what I say

they're just afraid of a man with no ambition

I saw the writing on the wall

it told me that my sun will go on shining

cos I just don't rely

on mountains to get high

the key to my success is only common sense I guess

Away from the darkest shadows

Away from the brightest sun

I'll be forever tryin'

to find some peace of mind

like a man out of time

And if you wanna walk with me

a little bit of soul is all you need

to hear a different beat

and dance into the light

of a world that's open wide

Away from all the tears, away from all the fears (3X)

Away from all those silly games people play

Away from all the tears, away from all the fears

Away from all those silly games people play

I walk the winding road

and let the dream unfold the day
