lyrics

Lyrics: Norman McCaig (1910-1996)
Music: Walter Schleger & Fairway

Suddenly, in my world of you,
You created time.
I walked about in its better lanes
Looking for whom I‘d lost, afraid to go home.

You stole yourself and gave me this
Torture for my friend
Who shows me gardens rotting in the air
And tells me what I no longer understand.

The birds sing still in the apple trees,
But not in mine, I hear
Only the clock whose wintry strokes
Say, „Now is now“, the same lie over and over.

If I could kill this poem, sticking
my thin pen through its throat,
It would stand crying by your bed
And haunt your cruelty every empty night.
