After some time it becomes obvious that they never actually stay.
Take one step closer, of course you may!
Pass through, take away some feelings and precious moments,
take a few memories and put in another brick in any of these walls.

And they're done, ready to move on.
And here i'll stay and wait
Until the last hint of their perfume escaped.
There goes that green light
And the room is busy again, oh what a delight
To feel this way anew,
To have a person, a night they'll get me through.
What comes next shouldn't bother me
Until the daylight comes i will feel free.

I know, my dear friend,
You'll think i get attached too easy,
or perhaps i am too greedy.
But know that it was my intent:
I walk around, i collect
tiny pieces of them; love, hate, souls and hands,
Put them in bottles and hide them in my desk.
So i remember them forever
