Walk (In The Middle Of The Night)Today on the sidewalk, two children playing playing with life, anger and love Bells in the sky they stream out the front door starting to talk what they're just thinking of Passing a small park, separate at the crossroads me and my old friend, every day Saturday night, no one was missing Coming together, starting to play We wrote that book so fast, every line's a piece of the past (There were) promises made in the heat of the night (But) memories fade as time goes by Whenever we got stranded on a sandbank we swore we'd never make it last instead we took a walk, walk in the middle of the night; walk, walk in the ... Illusions were shattered, we learned from each other what time would bring, I could not guess Kept moving on filled with emotions Emotions no one dared to express And I still hear the sound of our shoes tapping the ground (There were) promises made in the heat of the night (But) memories fade as time goes by Whenever we got stranded on a sandbank we swore we'd never start tumblin' 'round instead we took a walk, walk in the middle of the night; walk, walk in the ... The old ones are defeated, we rise up from the ashes Brand new wind in the city of dust Hate and doubt don't lead nowhere What we got: love and trust We'll take a walk in the middle of the night, take a walk in ... Promises made in the heat of the night (Like a rider, come so far we seek the world for a shining star) Memories fade as time goes by (All the dreams that can't come true, light the way in front of you) |
Walk ist vermutlich das Lied mit dem aufwendigsten Arrangement auf Back
In Time und es ist ziemlich schnell mein Lieblingslied geworden. Die
Vielzahl an Ideen, das Zusammenspiel der Band und die kleinen Details,
die immer wieder herauskommen - dieses Niveau ist meiner Ansicht nach
unübertroffen auf diesem Album. Das ganze Lied baut sich vom Beginn weg
langsam auf, gipfelt dann in den Soloparts, um schließlich in ein eher
sachtes Ausklingen überzugehen. |
