All Hands Songtext
von Tim Baker

Late at night in my troubled mind
I go back to those summertimes
A boy in bed, all the windows wide
You can hear the hotrods running from the light

From the light into the dark
That′s all I wanted in my cousin's car
To listen to the wind and to the lead guitars
And feel the reckless running of your heart

Now is that gone or does that all remain?
Can I go back and have it all again?

Well, now I know it
Where I′m going
I'm going back behind the river
I'm going back behind the rain
′Cause no matter where you′re heading
You end up where you been


What's to come, I cannot say
But the mainland calls to take me away
Can take my life but when I die
I′m only going back to those valley black nights

Going from the light into the dark
I won't be scared, I will not come apart
I′ll feel the wind, sing the riffs
Piled in the backseat with all my friends

All hands are with me, yeah, and it's like a dream
Lovers and kin, they all come back to me

And we′re somehow seventeen
And we're drinking on the beach
And the bays are full of fish
And the blazing fires lit
And our bodies start to lift
But we are unafraid of it
We are unafraid


'Cause now we know it
Where we′re going
We′re going back behind the river
We're going back behind the rain
′Cause no matter where I'm headed
I′ll only end up where I been
I was tearing at her sweater
I was crying on her chin
All the while she saying
"Baby, you'll be back again"
