Who Am I? - Petula Clark Songtext
von Petula Clark

The buildings reach up to the sky.
The traffic thunders on the busy street.
The pavement slips beneath my feet.
I walk alone and wonder
who am I?

I close my eyes and I can fly.
And I escape from all this worldly strife,
restricted by routine of life,
but still I can′t discover
who am I.

I long to wake up in the morning
and find everything has changed,
and all the people that I meet don't wear a frown.
But every day is just the same.
I′m chasing rainbows in the rain.
All the dreams that I believe in let me down.


Maybe I'm reaching far too high,
for I have something else entirely free,
the love of someone close to me,
unfettered by the world that hurries by.
Um, to question such good fortune,
who am I?

Maybe I′m reaching far too high,
for I have something else entirely free,

unfettered by the world that hurries by.
To question such good fortune,
Who am I?
