Hopes and Fears Songtext
von Noctorum

I stare out of my window at a grey Northern sky on a Saturday
And the smoke in the distance that
Clings to the hills from the factories
And people are gathering in droves in the
Street ′cause it's market day
And I am in love with a girl who I met only yesterday

Summer has gone
Lights are on
The nights have grown long
Then the town′s
Locking down
As the rain hits the ground

Then the newspaper sellers are telling us all what's been happening
And women are hiding in shopkeeper's doorways and gossiping
And you and I meet in the café across from the hospital
And finding a cure for the lovelorn is proving impossible


Life tumbles on
Like this song
And the music plays on
And we kiss
Like a play
With our love on display

And the sirens still call
From the factory walls
As we pray to live in peace
With the future unknown
We slowly walk home
As our hopes and fears increase

With our fate in our hands
As we lay in the sand
Will our love and life survive
But I know this is bliss
You are all that I wish
With our hopes and fears alive
