Coffee gone cold
In a paper cup
The night keeps falling
But I can’t sleep enough
A midnight train
Fades far away
One lonely memory
Drifts into the gray
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide
On the rain-soaked street
The past begins to shine
With every step I take
You return to my mind
For someone
Who is no longer here
I walk alone
Quiet and unclear
The words you never said
Are still inside my heart
And even so
I keep walking through the dark
Black and golden city
Breathing in the night
All the untold stories
Flow beneath the lights
Like you disappeared
The night will fade away
Lights of the dawn-lit city
I am still awake
Maybe love is only
A passing train
A warm little light
Disappearing in the rain
Maybe dreams are only
Smoke upon the air
Traces of the words
We never dared to share
Still I hear it calling
From somewhere far away
A melody is moving
Beneath the sleeping gray
Not gone without goodbye
Not vanished into blue
It slowly rises upward
Into the morning view
Time moves on
So silently
And strangely I still
Long for you endlessly
Like you disappeared
The night will fade away
Take me somewhere
Far from yesterday
One single light
One single road
One single heart
Still left hollowed and alone
