There is a picture in my head and it won’t get off.
It’s the moment of her leaving, the moment she was setting off.
And it feels so hard to write these lines, but things just change from time to time,
I will never forget it, I hope she won’t regret it, regret it at all.
There is a sound stuck in my head and it won’t disappear.
When she closed the door the last time was her mind free of sorrow and fear?
I wish I’d be too young to understand, I wish my mind could comprehend.
I will never forget, but I need to carry on.
Oh, old man don’t lose any hope.
There are better days to come,
there are better days ahead.
Oh, old man don’t lose any hope.
There will be light streaming through dead black clouds,
after the storm a calm will spread.
When she closed the door the last time,
this house ceased to be a home.
Broken walls were getting closer, oxygen was fading away.
Oh, please don’t go astray.
Oh, old man don’t lose any hope.
There are better days to come,
there are better days ahead.
Oh, old man don’t lose any hope.
There will be light streaming through dead black clouds,
after the storm a calm will spread.
And nowadays it feels so right to type these lines,
that things just change from time to time.
And now you trust again, you share your love again,
just with someone else.
