Lyrics
It´s a cold and clear december morning
a red sun is rising in the east
From the lake the wild geese are calling
a freight train is rolling to the west.
Just another open hearted sunday
There where the broken hearts can mend
a place to rest from the lifetime runway
our hearts are lost .... to a silent piece of land
On the chestnut tree the buzzard sits awaiting
He´s looking around a kingdom of his own
Beneath a pond a red flag is waving
Symbolizing we have found a home ...
Refrain
We can feel the wind upon our faces
We can see the stars in the winter sky
This is one of those mystical places
you can find some answers if you try.
Now the last light of a winters day is fading
Disappearing right behind these hills
But it´s still a warm decembers evening
In our house the lights are shining still...
Refrain
