this is a bad day for good-byes
this city will not be the same without you
even the weathergod cries
as he has lost a son today
you still had sand in your eyes
but again you were drawn to other places
you never stuck around very long
you always needed to move along
I hoped you would find what youre looking for
out there in the world somewhere
and I hoped life would treat you well
never counting on seeing you again
everything seemed to happen today
tomorrow was just so far away
and how much we laughed back then in may
do you remember?
testing newest records until the morning rose
lighting candles and drinking way to much wine
there is no subject we havent spoken about
we fantasized, philosophised
in my old flat at that worn down kitchen table
that was too small for two plates but not our dreams
I hoped you would find what youre looking for
out there in the world somewhere
and I hoped life would treat you well
never counting on seeing you again
everything seemed to happen today
tomorrow was just so far away
and how much we laughed back then in may
do you remember?
and now youre home at last
but your tomorrows are over
your name in stone grey in grey
and then rain again
everything seemed to happen today
tomorrow was just so far away
how much we laughed back then in may
this city will not be the same without you
even the weathergod cries
as he has lost a son today
you still had sand in your eyes
but again you were drawn to other places
you never stuck around very long
you always needed to move along
I hoped you would find what youre looking for
out there in the world somewhere
and I hoped life would treat you well
never counting on seeing you again
everything seemed to happen today
tomorrow was just so far away
and how much we laughed back then in may
