The Riddle

I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon
With time to carry on and try
For sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
Wise men save
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never
Never fight over you

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never
Never fight over you

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Of for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you

It's not me you see
Pieces of valentine
With just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold

Wise men fold
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never
Never fight over you

I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild

Wise men's child

"The Riddle" (Das Rätsel) ist ein passender Name für dieses Lied. Der Text ergibt (für mich) absolut keinen Sinn. 😅

Nichtsdestotrotz: Ich bin mit diesem Lied aufgewachsen und mag es deshalb sehr.

Wie du bist mit dem Lied aufgewachsen @CookieJulez😳🤔 ? So alt bist doch noch gar nicht oder hast bei der Altersangabe gemogelt😜😈😂 Ich kannte den Song schon in jungen Jahren🙈😉

Das Original ist von 1984, der von GG D´Agostino ist von 2000!😉

Ich hab jetzt nicht auf den Interpreten geschaut, sondern nur auf den Song😅
