I stumbled upon your heart
once, when we were not apart.
Is that a love song?
I just can't tell
because, you know,
my memory doesn't serve me well.
So where do I belong?
Have I got a place to stay?
I stop stumbling through this song.
Anybody find me a way.
II
I'm feeling fine,
but please give me what was mine.
See this hole,
it is so big, I call it The Whole.
Once there was my soul
untill it was eaten by a black ghoul.
So dear darling hear,
and take away with you all this fear.

Three years this darkness stands
like a pillow filled with roses
and all those thorns, and it is my hand
that holds it and never poses
Three years have already gone by
keeping away the best I could made.
A thousands times I've wondered why,
the reason of that cloudy shade.

Will you see the Moon tonight?
Bigger and brighter, a smiley face.
She looks on Earth with dimming light,
but not today, she holds with grace.
All you people take a look, allright
gaze with your eyes on the open space.
V
A friend has gone off the thread,
We greeted him yesterday.
Fifteen and a crowd in the marble hall,
Smelling incense, hearing words of comfort
And sacred rituals, tears and sobs.
A dream, I think. Is it? No, it is real!
My mind goes wandering, I'm there but I'm not here.
And when the ceremony is over
Eight black friends, brothers, unknown
Take you away from all those flowers.
Where do you go now? Oh, yes I know!
We gather in front of the church.
You leave. We grow.
