Yazdan kalma bir günden
Ya da "Çölde Çay" filminden
Bir sahne var aklımda, oyuncular sanki biziz
Mutsuzuz, ikimiziz
Kimi aşklar hiç bitmezmiş
Bizimkisi bitenlerden
Sevmeye yeteneksiziz
İki yabancı
Birlikte ama yalnız
İki yabancıyız
Hani o güneşin batışı
Bizi tanrıya inandırışı
Şu an o akşam aklımda
Ama çok zaman önceydi, yaralarımız ağır değildi
Yine de bağışladım ben hepsini
Hem seni hem de kendimi
O kadar yoktun ki
Yazdan kalma bir günden, ya da "Çölde Çay" filminden
Benim de sahneler aklımda, seninkilerden farklı ama
Artık kendini kandırma
Yoktur üstüne senin, güzeli çirkin yapmakta
Suçuysa dünyaya atmakta
Neyin bildin ki değerini
Benimkini bileceksin?
Bunu da tabii mahvedeceksin
Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild, a million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
(Don't want to be a richer man)
Ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
(Just gonna have to be a different man)
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
(Don't tell them to grow up and out of it)
Ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
(Where's your shame, you've left us up to our necks in it)
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah changes are taking the pace I'm going through
Ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
(Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers)
Ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
(Pretty soon now you're gonna get older)
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
