Zywa Where you have been

It takes a while
before it will be over
with room for someone else
For now it is too empty

where you have always been
People soon forget that
when we have a chat
and laugh at something small

Your mother is great
She does what she can do
so without a man
You know the drill

the neighbour mows the lawn
He's really old
time and again he asks
where you have gone

But if I had known it beforehand
I would just as well have been in love
just as well be that woman
still in love with you

Zywa So, goodbye then

There is no good ending
The sun goes down
without colouring heaven

No birds, no music
I don't even cry
just say: so, goodbye then

It sounds so easy
but I look away and wait
until it's over

When did you slip away from me?
When did we stop talking
about what we don't understand

and gradually didn't know
about each other anymore
not each other's anymore?

I'm not like that, not

as self-satisfied as I --


sing and praise my life.


Ik ben niet zo, zoSo bin ich nicht, so
zelfingenomen als ik --aufgebläht, wie ich singe --

mijn leven bezing.von meinem Leben.
