It's the year 2040
I survived the holy war
Through the big world I am walking
Since the downfall of the car
I am almost 87
I am almost in my grave
And I don't believe in heaven any more
I come back to the hotel
Where 50 years ago
A woman waited for her lover
But he did not show up
'This is not a church', she said
'But I feel like praying in this hall
It's the first time in my life
He did not call'

It's a long forgotten story
It's a long forgotten day

When we sailed the 'Hope and Glory'
Till the town was far away

It's a long forgotten story
It's a long forgotten day

From the room the view
Is still the same
It's the Lykabettos hill
Where we played in 1989
When the time was standing still
I was almost 38
When I bought a dark red vase
Do I hear somebody knocking 
On the glass
