Joana by Seasons of Time Lyrics
[Intro]
The last speck of sand fell down in your hourglass
It was a movement in slow motion
And I wanted to say so many things to you
Just one more question that I could ask
Feel your skin, hear the sound of your voice
But now this silence... It's too late
Oh, Lord, what is loneliness for?
How can I open up another door?
[Verse]
Joana found about the things
Lucy told her the other day
She found it hard to believe
There's truth in what she said
How could such a young lady
Live happily outside the city?
Can I find civilized life?
How can you live with such ties?
[Hook]
Have you ever wondered
What loneliness is for?
Or ever tried
To open up another door?
[Verse]
Lucy was living behind
The walls of this town
Outside the concrete cage
In the back of the (?)
She had to drive on the motorway
Hours and hours everyday
A smaller car and a bigger wheel
And all she'd ever get is an odd deal
[Hook]
Have you ever wondered
What loneliness is for?
Or ever tried
To open up another door?
(Solo)
[Verse]
Joana could not picture herself
Living outside the city
Without all the shopping malls
And a thousand so-called friends
She needs the city lights
The rush on the streets, the daily fight
To be better than those who watch
Nothing will ever will take too much
[Hook]
Have you ever wondered
What loneliness is for?
Or ever tried
To open up another door?
(Solo)
[Bridge]
So many friends are by my side
There only to be with me
And they're ready to help me
But they talk and talk and say nothing
It's good to get your problems off your chest
But it's someone else I miss
Oh, Lord, what is loneliness for?
How can I open up another door?
(Instrumental)
[Verse]
Joana is living on the 18th floor
With Spiderman posters pinned on her door
Surrounded by internet and TV
She caged herself and throw away the key
Paying for her memberships
Just to have some chatroom trips
After news with her girls in the shops
And at night they party in the clubs
[Chorus]
But there's a black spot on her soul
(?) makes her sad
She knows there is something wrong
The emptiness inside her has grown
[Verse]
She's painting pictures day in and day out
'Bout stars grandma told her long ago
But they're fading from her memory
The colors of her pictures start getting grey
Grey like the concrete in this town
That tries to get into her head
Tries to comb her down like this town
Where the rain can't wash away the dirt
[Chorus]
And the emptiness grows in her heart
And emotions, all messed up
She doesn't know what loneliness is for
Or even how to open up another door
(Instrumental)
(Solo)
[Bridge]
'Hello, doctor (?) here.'
'Doctor, I need your help.'
'Hmm, it's hard to accept the reality
But you have to (?) yourself with (?)
You can't rely on other people
You have to... believe in your own strength
Don't wait for someone else to help
Learn to... enjoy, uh... solitude.'
Oh, Lord, what is loneliness for?
I must open up another door!
(Solo)
[Outro]
There are many ways
I could go now
There are many advices
I could follow
There are many books
I could read now
Many friends that I
I could call now
But I have to go
Yes, I must go
My own special way
My own lonely way
But I have to go
Yes, I must go
My own special way
My own lonely way
'Cause ain't we all
Alone somehow
Don't we all have
Lonesome moments?
We have to find
Our own destiny
No matter how
How many friends we've got
We have to go
Yes, we must go
Our own special way
Our own lonely way
We have to go
Yes, we must go
Our own special way
Our own lonely way
You might be caught up
In the TV world
Might be a slave
To the networks
Might do shopping (?)
With all your friends
And party
In the clubs all night
And you might be
Might as well be alone
'Cause everyone
Goes their own way
And I found out
What loneliness is for
So come and take the time
To find another door
(Solo)
The last speck of sand fell down in your hourglass
It was a movement in slow motion
And I wanted to say so many things to you
Just one more question that I could ask
Feel your skin, hear the sound of your voice
But now this silence... It's too late
Oh, Lord, what is loneliness for?
