You're waiting for happiness at a silent train station
If it doesn't arrive you will be late, too, you one-legged bird
But you have to keep dancing while all eyes are on you
You may never tip over, only when the pile of dust awaits you
You came from afar
Make three or four wishes
May all of them come true
Just the way you want them to
You came from afar
Your heart is already dirty and weary
Get your aching bones together
Happiness can still wait
Happiness walks like a one-legged bird
Down there on the pavement it might just run into you
And you realize this is the way it should be for you
Because you must go on to find what you should be looking for
You came from afar
Make three or four wishes
May all of them come true
Just the way you want them to
You came from afar
Your heart is already dirty and weary
Get your aching bones together
Happiness can still wait
You came from afar
You made love on the side of the road
You were wild, you would wander around
But you would always come back
You came from afar
Make three or four wishes
May all of them come true
Just the way you want them to
You came from afar
Your heart is already dirty and weary
Get your aching bones together
Happiness can still wait
