A word you say
Sad the whole day
I walk away
This day,
This street,
All those faces
All these colors
Where do I go?
To find my soul
My lost happiness
I am afraid
When the sun’s gone
Our love’ll be torn
A plain cup of coffee,
With melted ice,
This life is short
Winter is long
Scared to be down
My doubts are drowned
What is love about?
So strong. So tough.

It’s such a knifeTearing our past, wearing our souls Stop there! The sad moaningOf the two birds looking for their way home Stop there! It was enoughStop there! No longer missing,No longer promising,No longer…
“That river – which I bathed my little soul The road I followed every day to school The long sand field we used to play football The wandering kites on the blue blue sky |Summer| When I let go of my dreams When my heart kept singing its songs |Winter| When I grew up in…
