There was a time
when i thought all went black
out of the blue notes
and this is how it goes:

when i met you
long time ago
everything else just faded
just a bright light
all over you
standing at the bar
with
some friends there

years later
you just had lots of troubles
and there was me
just in time
or so i thought
we had the best of springs
for a long long time

was it really
that’s it
we talked
shared
drank

then some ugly day
everything chanced
you said some
ugly things
and i believed those
as they were true

but
you were lying
damn those lies
and there the sunshine
gone

everything in vain
no way
there are just
some things
we both need to learn
and when i am
ready
i sure hope
you are too

in the meantime
damn i miss
those things
we did
talked
shared
but maybe
some shiny day
there will be
two lone souls
down on the road
don’t know
if it is rainy
snowy or cloudy
but
really
it doesn’t matter
