Oh how can I fall asleep tonight
When you re on my mind another night
Memories falling over my head
That happiness- will I ever feel it again?
Dreams came true but only for a while
When I met you that September night

She- a lost poet on the edge of teenage years
He- a proud vagabond with all possessions in one hand
Th traffic never died behind the window's glass
But lulled them up to sleep every winter night
It was cold that year her toes were blessed with his.

He said 'You are too young to see the world for what it gives and takes'
She said 'forget the age and play"
And so he did.

Oh how can I fall asleep tonight
When you re on my mind another night
Memories falling over my head
That happiness -will I ever feel it again?
Dreams came true but only for a while
When I met you that September night.

See the the moon shinning over the world
Are you looking up and dreaming of what it was
That made us shine like the stars,
That made us laugh like we were the chosen ones?
I was drifting off to dreams of past and future
To the tunes coming off your nails
Sweet were the nights and high were we
Through that winter of 1963.

Oh how can I fall asleep tonight
When you re on my mind another night
Memories falling over my head
That happiness will I ever feel it again
Dreams came true but only for a while
When I met you that September night

I was nothing before I met you
In a grungy bar down the road
I was a drunk, I was a loose
I didnt know wrong from good
You saw in me something more
You always say  that there s something special bout me.

You come from a different era
When love was free and freedom was love
There you were -looking like the others
The long hair and a goofy smile
But something in you would draw me closer
I did fall in love.

On your voice my heart would open
So you could pour in the sweet words
I was flying over all the ordinary people
You said I was special
So I was.
You treated me nicely like no one before
I couldnt belive that you gave your heart to me.
All the jealous eyes followed us everywhere
They all were wishing to have what we had.
We didnt care like we didnt see anyone but us.

You left in the evening and the Spanish guitar followed your way.
I missed you so dearly
I loved you so deeply
I couldnt believe the summer came to an end
All the love seemed to be a dream
Each kiss by the moonlight
Each night of dancing and talking till we felt asleep
Each night of drinking to the music of the wind
Sunsets by the sea with a breeze of guitar
That was gone.

I will remember how we met in September
And how we lived
So wildly so fully with no regrets.

On your voice my heart would open
So you could pour in the sweet words
I was flying over all the ordinary people
You said I was special
So I was.
You treated me nicely like no one before
I couldnt belive that you gave your heart to me.
You said I was special
So I was.

Now- we' re both in distant places.
Yet somehow, I want to turn back time
To the days when you were fixated on me
Yet I was free of desire for you
Cause I kinda liked the feeling of you suffering for me
After I d cried for you every night.
Somewhere deep- I enjoyed your pain
It cancelled out my own beat.

And I was happy, oh so happy with my new love,
but needed your pain to feel the new love.

I dont think of us in any other way but friends.
Just sometimes- want to see that you feel pain of regret
That you let me run away.

How funny, life plays its strings
You were lost and I knew my deal
Years passed and I ve lost my soul in ***** and ***,
Love came my way
I could not appreciate.

You took your turn on the Abbey Road
Rock led your way again
How funny stories life writes
Once down could never give in.

Sweet cherry, my lips gave passionate kisses
Under the London sky
I was someone- now I dont recognize.
Misterious tricks lead my way
I could never understand the looks of outside world
So tender yet so cold.

I felt the rain on my pale skin
In the rusty old house we bulit,
From the ground, up
The roof had holes but we were free, we did not care about wet dreams.
Music played in our vains
I could not sing but you gave me the melody I could grip thinking I d never leave.

But there was always something in the air, hanging over our heads

We were just like a song
Beautiful but short.

We re living in isolation
We keep saying it ll end soon
But the world we know is ending
Oh the world is coming to an end
We keep tightly to our dreams and hopes
Even though they wont matter in the new world
The world is coming to an end.
We re living in isolation
We ve made one too many mistakes in the past
we keep making them again and again
The world got tired of our recklessness
The world is coming to an end.

I wasnt ever yours
And you weren t mine
For all these months
We were passing strangers
Found in affection
Perfect in their innocence
Not worth of attention
Forgotten by the world
Yet lost in their affection

So I were
Standing in the middle of nowhere
Choked up
as no word could come out of my mouth.

And, yes, I didnt feel a thing
No fear nor pain
Like all what s here was taken with last tear.

Somehow I was born new
Stood on the edge of the sheer cliff
And there was emptiness, no sound to be heard.

I laughed like a child
It felt so light
I was flying
While slowely immersing in the peace of darkness.

I found myself in a far away land
There was me but without the shadows
Of anger and fear, my lost two friends.
It felt safe, new
So simply good, even without you.
