1980 Warsaw winter, Teenage mother, two-room apartment Footsteps running down the hallway Shouting hes frightened Calling he wont answer
Its no rehearsal No second chances its now or never A starry eyed romance
Its only striking out alone Its only losing all you own Its only life without him Its only sacrifice Its only to thyself be true Its only what she has to do Its only more than any heart can take Its only life
Another country another language Nearly 30 winters later A daughter who barely knew her father But still he haunts her Love and her emotions
She has a lover she really wants him But she remembers the man who ran away
Its only striking out alone Its only losing all you own Its only life without him Its only sacrifice Its only to thyself be true Its only what she has to do Its only more than that any heart can take
She hears the footsteps Her chilhood calling She knows she loves him Defences fallin` She knows he loves her Its now or never She`ll seize the day She says she`ll stay
Its only in another star Its only giving up a heart Its only for a lifetime Its only sacrifice
Its only to thyself be true Its only what she has to do Its only what she knows her heart can take Its only life Its only life Its only life
