Fallen ashes

All the ashes falling out of the tray
It’s like rewinding of the day
The stub of the cigarette still emits smoke
Though it has been crushed in a brutal way

The ashes fall out of the tray
While the sun still shines make hay

Lights are dying out
Dance to the music and let the body sway
They’re playing your song so shut your eyes
Hold me tight
And just stay

With Heineken in hand
A cigarette in the other
Let all imagination fly
The stuff that was imprisoned for so long
So many hours.

Music pours our like rain
Lets get wet
Forever and again

The crowd fades away
And you still remain

But I still look for you
The height of our days

The ash fell out of the tray
I remember the first time you went away
Even though you leave everyday
I searched for that love in your eyes

The drowsy drunkenness
The illusion of heaven
You next to me,
In front of me

Infatuation into reality

Finally I had found you
My oasis in the desert.
You quenched all my longing and thirst.

Epochs have passed in a second
Words have been spoken in silence

The pin drops
The music stops
A new moment
A new song

But we -- you and I
The same old refrain

A moment of the noise of the crowd
Yet you are there
And the silence of you is louder
Than anything else.

You, ruler of my world
You, conqueror of my heart
You, the light and the dark
You, the song of a lark
You, the key to my secrets
You the ash in an empty tray
And that is me

The ash will fall in the tray

Lighting the butt of the cigarette
Ordering another beer

Mistakes keep happening
Retake after retakes
Light, camera, action
You direct me
And surprise I don’t need to act

I’m real ’cause you are my truth.

Fallen ashes on the bar
Me thinking of you

Wishing,
Just wishing you were here.
Wishing you’d spend every moment with me

Jealous of the elements
How unfair the universe is.

You’re not there
And still you’re here.
Missing you like crazy

Wish you were near!

I love you.
You’re still my ash,
And I your burning tray.
