the place lyrics

I will stay out here tonight
Looking at the starry sky
I haven't been here in a long time
But this place was always there

Whatever happened in the meantime
All the things that just passed it by
I never thought I would come back here
For it to tell me who I am

I could feel it reaching out to me
I might just as well close my eyes now
And feel this place inside myself

And whoever I was
It doesn't matter anymore, I know
All these memories
Hidden deep down below

Though somewhere on the way before
All those things got lost
I know there will be new things
Wherever I may go

So whatever it was
I don't care for it anymore, I know
No time for mourning
'Cause there are new things to sow

And though I thought I knew who I was
It must have been someone else
I don't care what I knew
But I know now it's time to go

And whoever I was
It doesn't matter anymore, I know
All these memories
Hidden deep down below

Though somewhere on the way before
All those things got lost
I know there will be new things
Wherever I may go
