Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory

She is smiling alone

In the lamp light

The withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan


Memory

All alone in the moonlight

I can smile like the old days

I was beautiful, then I remember

The time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again


Every street lamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters

And soon it will be morning


Daylight

I must wait for the sun rise

I must think for the new life

And I mustn't give in


When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory too

And the new day will begin


Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

A street lamp dies

Another night is over

Another day is dawning


Touch me !

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with my memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me

You'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has began
