waltari - i held you so long lyrics

a time of no passion lives somewhere in me
its a pity to realize that theres no more love
i held you in my arms, i held you so tight
but one day the flame went out and i was alone

oh, im going on, i held you oh so long
oh, im going on, to find where i belong

i felt i was happy, no-one knew about me
someday they will find out, how brave i've been
oh, i held you oh so long

oh, im going on, i held you oh so long
oh, im going to the other side of dawn
oh, im going on like a hungry lion

but how strange, i felt empty, days didnt pass by
i missed you, felt helpless, i have to confess

oh, im coming back 'coz i held you oh so long
oh, i need you so, theres no point in pretending
oh, im coming on, theres no hungry lion inside myself
