It feels like time is running backwards
Somehow it don't want to pass by
But I get so nervous and afraid of what is to come
And I just cannot tell you why
I can hear all the words you say
But I don't understand
Should I have looked at your smiling face
When I looked at your shivering hands
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
So don't ask me, if you need good advice
Maybe I could find some friendly words
But my heart is cold as ice
I can hear all the words you say
But I don't understand
Should I have looked at your smiling face
When I looked at your shivering hands
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
It could have almost turned out right
It almost turned out right
It could have almost turned out right
Somehow it don't want to pass by
But I get so nervous and afraid of what is to come
And I just cannot tell you why
I can hear all the words you say
But I don't understand
Should I have looked at your smiling face
When I looked at your shivering hands
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
So don't ask me, if you need good advice
Maybe I could find some friendly words
But my heart is cold as ice
I can hear all the words you say
But I don't understand
Should I have looked at your smiling face
When I looked at your shivering hands
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
It could have almost turned out right
It almost turned out right
It could have almost turned out right
