Lyrics : So much time Translated into Spanish by ajm
He can´t get out of bed this morning No puede levantarse esta mañana
You can tell that he´s been crying Te das cuenta que ha estado llorando
From the stains on his pillow case last night Por las manchas en su almohada anoche
He wonders why he got no warning Se pregunta porque no tuvo ningun aviso
He wonders all the time Se lo pregunta cada momento
Well maybe in his dreams he´ll make it right Quizás en sus sueños lo hará bien
He finally pulls himself together Por fin se recupera
And tries to face his life Y intenta afrontar su vida
But the thought of her cripples him inside Pero el recuerdo de ella le deja lisiado por dentro
He wonders if she thinks about him Se pregunta si ella piensa en el
Or if she feels alright O si se encuentra bien
These thoughts don´t seem to leave his mind Estos pensamientos no los olvida
At least he´s still got Al menos aun tiene
So much time on his hands Tanto tiempo para el
Time to get back on his feet again Tiempo para recuperarse
Time left to stand Tiempo para ponerse de pie
Time to let go of his feelings Tiempo para liberar sus sentimientos
Problems in his life get clearer Los problemas en su vida se aclaran
As he finds some peace of mind Y encuentre paz
It gets a little easier with time Es mas fácil con el paso del tiempo
No he doesn´t have all the answers No tiene todas las respuestas

Lyrics Translated into Spanish by ajm
And so many things Y tantas cosas
I'd forgotten Que me había olvidado
In a world that we shared En un mundo que compartimos
With so many things Con tantas cosas
In a world that we shared En un mundo que compartimos
With so many things Con tantas cosas
for the asking para pedir
Never asked for Nunca pedí
Never asked for Nunca pedí
the madness there la locura allí
Strange how I find myself Que extraño me encuentro
So often on a distant shore Tan amenudo en un lejano país
There's only one thing Solo hay una cosa
Strange how I find myself Que extraño me encuentro
So often on a distant shore Tan amenudo en un lejano país
There's only one thing Solo hay una cosa
that's confusing Que es confuso
Was it you? Was it me? Fuiste tu? O fuí yo?
With so many Con tantas
Was it you? Was it me? Fuiste tu? O fuí yo?
With so many Con tantas
questions unanswered preguntas sin contestar
Or was that part O era esa parte
Or was that part O era esa parte
of your mystery? De tu misterio
Strange how I find myself Que extraño me encuentro
So often on a distant shore Tan amenudo en un lejano pais
So many things, Tantas cosas
Strange how I find myself Que extraño me encuentro
So often on a distant shore Tan amenudo en un lejano pais
So many things, Tantas cosas
I'd forgotten Me había olvidado

Strange how I find myself Que extraño me encuentro
So often on a distant shore Tan amenudo en un lejano país
How I find myself Como me encuentro
So often on a distant shore Tan amenudo en un lejano pais
