Long goodbye

walking down the bank of the river

where the sun's  out in the shine of the day

and

water's runnin' peacefully through the green

I know life's been good to me

yet, as I walk on

somethin' stirs , somethin's wrong

I lower myself on a nearby bench

and

think this is not gonna mend

my eyes breakin' I know I'm fucked

 

lookin' down on myself motionless

peacefull in my sleep of the 'Long goodbye'

I know life's just that fallin' star comin' to its end

I was just a moment in time and time

has no end

More than mortal

 

 

 

timeless, priceless it seemed

 

when I returned from the womb

 

deep down in our world

 

 

I had learned how to love,

 

how to give,

 

 

not to anger

 

angels of knowledge

 

a heritage to this earth

 

how to humor them, how to mend them

 

a tool to my using

 

 

I

 

became more than mortal

 

death had no secrets

 

life danced at mu feet

 

 

seen many faces of the sun

 

saw beyond the moon

 

I

 

had the key to it all

 

 

yet, I didn't dare to unleash these powers

 

i posessed in to this innocent world

 

it was still an infant,

 

in its own right

 

 

not knowing what to choose

 

all I could do was, leave my love

 

and return when it had

 

matured
