Nobody is thinking about joining
Joining in with her and him
Well wall flowers are peeling
Off the wall again this evening
For her and him

Coming here in winter well it's not much to look at
I've been running 'round the woods with somebody stuck fast

To my side there's a meadow with a brook and a bridge
That I have seen once before but I can't think where now
And the dream in the ward was wintry and upright
So we pulled up the drawbridge and scissored our frostbite
With a fire made of birch twigs, silkworms and ermine
I've heard this once before but i can't think where now

I'm not convinced i remain
In my castle high above the town
O yeah yeah yeah we're out on our own
We're out on our own

Everybody is feeling
Feeling themselves again
And it's great to have you around
Ages, that's how long it's been
Since you last sailed through town
Being here in summer well it's not much to look at
Friesan middle distance is always dead flat
To our side there's an inlet with sails and peaks
That I have seen once before but I can't think where now
And the castle on the hill was somewhere quite different
We had stones in our sandals and the sun hit the steps
The black pines on the slope were always dripping with sap
I'd smelled it once before but I can't think where now

So cottontail don't complain when I curl up beneath your feet
O yeah yeah yeah we're out on our own
We're out on our own
You're not convinced yet you remain
In our castle high above the town
O yeah yeah yeah we're out on our own
We're out on our own
So cottontail won't you stay
In this hutch i built high above the town
O yeah yeah yeah we're out on our own
We're out on our own
