Maybe I was born too late
Or in a land with different light
I always feel a bit lost
Though the mirror shows my face
I know the bars, cathedrals
From Amsterdam down to Maastricht
Still I'll lose my way every day
That keeps things in balance
Just let me go my own way
I've always done it like that
I won't forget my friends
Whoever I love stays dear to me
And where they live, I had to know
But I lost their last letter
I'll surely meet them again
Maybe today, maybe in a year
I'll kiss them and say hi
It'll all work out by itself
Just let me go my own way
I've always done it like that
Luckily I'm not anchored
Sometimes I live here, sometimes I live there
I haven't f*cked up my life
I've got no possessions and no objections
I love water and breath
I love shabby and pricey
There's not a penny I've saved
I just live from hour to hour
Just let me go my own way
I've always done it like that
I'll die someday too
There's really no getting around that
I'll just let my songs wander now
And you can figure out the rest
For now I'm still your singer
Your black sheep, your loyal fan
I'll stay a long time and preferably longer
But let me stay who I am
Just let me go my own way
I've always done it like that
Just let me go my own way
I've always done it like that
I've always done it like that
I've always done it like that
