The night is clear and our rampant moon half full

The light is not light and nor is it dark

The stars are on their everlasting orbits

Sending their icecold business cards to my eye

Ancient light from someone

who might not longer be around

.

The sky is clear and our sun burns so hot

We dance the old walzer dos á dos

So cheerful both and full of hope

We dream the same in eliptical form

Tomorrow we look like someones

Who might not longer be around.

.

The space between us is huge yet you’re sitting here

I see you bright yet unclear in your niche

Your warm body forever not longer mine

Where did you go without notice to me

Yesterday you talked to me as one

Who might not longer be around

.

The stars twinkle like every night

A shooting star so fast and bright

Formations on the firmament

Man made pictures paints the vault

Mathematic predictions of souls

who might not longer be around.
