Peter Maffay - Too Many Stones songtext (lyrics)

I've been wasting my time tryin' hard to find
The things that everybody told
They'd have to be on my mind
Now I'm finding myself after bein'
Lost on a shelf
And I see that I've been saved in time
A quarter to twelve

Now I'm strong in spite o'
The weakness I feel
I found my way to the things that are real
It doesn't mean I'll be resting my bones
I ain't free, there are too many stones

In a changing of scene, havin' bad dreams
I could not imagine goin' up
In this life's arena
Givin' it up means to throw expеrience away
Yet I'm old еnough to know
I only live for today

Now I'm strong in spite o'
The weakness I feel
I found my way to the things that are real
It doesn't mean I'll be resting my bones
I ain't free, there are too many stones

In the deep sea where I was born
Waitin' for the dawn
I've been hiding from the hard life
In this shelter of mine
Now I've learnt from the past and
I got to be fast
'Cause there's only a few chances
Maybe one of the last

While I'm strong in spite o'
The weakness I feel
I found my way to the things that are real
It doesn't mean I'll be resting my bones
I ain't free, there are too many stones
Yes, I'm strong in spite o'
The weakness I feel
I found my way to the things that are real
It doesn't mean I'll be resting my bones
I ain't free, there are too many stones
