You look worried my old friend.
What is troubling you tonight?
"There's no penny left to spend
and no piece of bread to b***".
I'm a beggar like you are
though I'm wearing diamond rings.
I've been travelling much too far,
I've met angels without wings.
I see light fading into night.
I see life fading in your eyes.
Have a cigarette, my friend,
Let us light two little stars.
Very soon the night will end
and your worries will all pass.
I saw light fading into night.
I saw life fading in your eyes.
I see night turning into light.
I see life sparkling in your eyes.
