SONGS UP TO HERE


Songs till now
we were given a time extension
until our time stops.
There were rains and light
what more can you want,
what more can you want
those more beautiful than you and I
those more beautiful than you and I
the Earth took.

Songs till now
minute after minute
short, loving and painful
but the last
final and long
final and long
the sun dial and the sand
the sun dial and the sand
got to the line.

Songs till now
at the height of the peak
even the air starts to be think
but to you and me
words still remain
words still remain
to remember how we were here
to remember how we were here
when the garden will be closed.

Songs till now
the weeping and the laughter
people's voices, the stars of time.
The sun and the sea
the bread, the world
the bitter and the sweet
and all that was - we will leave
and all that was - we will leave
to live within the song.
