i cannot be calm
that is not my destiny
as i think of these shadows
you threw upon me
as i watch them disappear

today i look around
through a grey haze i see
only grey people passing me
an unknown weight keeps me down

so i turn around
i don't understand so many things
i see in my past
where you used to be
only strange laughter seems to last

so i turn around ...

life can be so easy
'cause time passes anyway
dries all these wounds
not if your longing for yesterday
and i am longing for you

self-pity only lames
but in this world
wothout worthwhile aims
it lies dark upon my soul
so i turn around ...
