  • She was born with a song in the air
    In the summer of 85
    The clouds just went and the day became so bright
    A child of love angel like
    With the most beautiful smile
    Growing up to be the sunshine of my life

    Come talk to me
    Don't run away
    Don't let the distance grow
    The door's wide open
    Don't ever think
    There is no way home

    Sly come home tonight
    The world is so bad you're drive 'em all mad
    With your smile
    Sly my joy and my pride
    When the runaway train take you away
    A part of me died

    The years went by like the summer of love
    So much changed in our lives
    They're too may scars deep under my skin
    Love turned to hate and hate to love
    Let's start all over again
    And now I wonder what life will bring

    Just let us laugh
    The tears away
    No more hard feelings no
    Cause after all
    You're my flesh and blood
    I don't want you to fall

    Sly come home tonight
    The world is so bad you're drive 'em all mad
    With your smile
    Sly come home alive
    When the runaway train take you away
    A part of me died

    Sly come home tonight
    The world is so bad you're drive 'em all mad
    With your smile
    Sly my joy and my pride
    When the runaway train take you away
    A part of me died Writer/s: KLAUS MEINE, RUDOLF SCHENKER

  • AnonymousPlease let me know how this song was arranged ( Rythm, drums bass interlude etc)
  • Kabluey_louie from TennesseeWOW! I never knew this to be the real story! It just goes to show (once again) how The Scorpions can write a stunning Power Ballad. A song like "SLY" that can make you think it's about the lost love between a father and daughter and the father trying to reach out to his daughter.
