FLIPPING A PAGE
And now it's already time to know what
is destined for us from heaven
do you know what she meant
(you even know better what she meant)
she - the one that said that wisdom is like water
and it seems we got to having no choice
closer and closer
we're like a couple along an alley
simply walking and walking.
And in the light of the truly simple things
we are living our lives
for example to just give and get without explanations
it's not easy but what else is there between us?
I remember sometimes the childhood that once was
before the time of the computer and the hi tech
I wait for the locomotive on the train tracks
and when it arrives I/everything screams.
Yes, there was such a good life
as the optimists say
and sometimes it's a strange life so say
the chinese mystics
and perhaps this is a great life
but, we lived it in madness
look at us/me and you'll see
a bit happy, a bit sad.
And when I'm wearing a white skirt again
you ask what happened to me and to us
why, you once wore the same skirt
in November when we got married
this way it's clear to me that you sometimes want
to return to the things that once were
I to want to (return) to those days
because of that exact thing.
Yes, there was such a good life...
And now don't speak just come to me
silently, silently in the room
like two friend that got lost in space
pay attention it's already (again) mid November
again the leaves are falling - it's that quiet time
what's destined for us tomorrow we won't know
I/you are wrapping me in warmth and dancing
and flip another page for us.
Yes, there was such a good life...
