Scorpions Calling it Quits

Another old band heads toward immortality, mothballs, popular obscurity, inanity or infamy.

Which will it be?

Not sure why this particular news item seemed important, but then I looked closer (not being a fan) and found:



I follow the Moskva

down to Gorky Park

listening to the wind of change

an August summer night

soldiers passing by

listening to the wind of change


The world is closing in

did you ever think

that we could be so close, like brothers

the future´s in the air

I can feel it everywhere

blowing with the wind of change


Take me to the magic of the moment

on a glory night

where the children of tomorrow dream away

in the wind of change


Walking down the street

distant memories

are buried in the past forever

I follow the Moskva

down to Gorky Park

listening to the wind of change


Take me to the magic of the moment

on a glory night

where the children of tomorrow share their dreams

with you and me

take me to the magic of the moment

on a glory night

where the children of tomorrow dream away

in the wind of change


The wind of change

blows straight into the face of time

like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell

for peace of mind

let your balalaika sing

what my guitar wants to say


Take me to the magic of the moment

on a glory night

where the children of tomorrow share their dreams

with you and me

take me to the magic of the moment

on a glory night

where the children of tomorrow dream away

in the wind of change




May the spirit of Bob Dylan, The Scorpions, God and their minions be ever seen, felt, tasted, smelled and heard upon the face of our great earth.

God bless!
