Today I passed you by
Without a sound
Though it seems I laid my head
Beside you to sleep last night
It must have been a dream serene
Your hand in mine
But the rays of daybreak soon
Illumined a strange new scene
Sad ways we follow down
With every step we're moving more apart
As if we'd known it for sure
Right from the start
The rules are so undefined
In this game with no name
We set our aims and make our moves
So deaf, mute and endlessly blind
I'll try not to think of you
No single thought
Anyway, in this dim-lit place of mine
There's barely enough room for two
Sad ways we follow down
Only empty words echo in my mind
It seems that the colors fade
With the memories we leave behind
Sad ways we follow down
With every step we're moving more apart
Passing like strangers in the mist
Without a sound
What were your reasons for
Not calling me, not sending me a word
Ignoring my screaming eyes
And leaving the signs unseen and unheard
What were my reasons for
Not calling you, not dropping you a line
If forever means such a short time
Won't everything else be but a lie
Sad ways we follow down
Those empty words are needless to repeat
Can't you see our feelings turn to gray
And die away like the flowers at your feet?
Sad ways we follow down
And so I'm passing you - a gray figure in the crowd
With a verse I'm singing you softly, yeah
Without a sound
Though it seems I laid my head
Beside you to sleep last night
It must have been a dream serene
Your hand in mine
But the rays of daybreak soon
Illumined a strange new scene
Sad ways we follow down
With every step we're moving more apart
As if we'd known it for sure
Right from the start
The rules are so undefined
In this game with no name
We set our aims and make our moves
So deaf, mute and endlessly blind
I'll try not to think of you

It seems that the colors fade

Sad ways we follow down
