Have you ever read the books you burn

Have you seen the man in the moon

Show a driver a blur of green

Grass he'll say, but has he seen



Last night late from work

I met a girl who asked these things

She seemed to be

A whisper on the wind

The fragrance of memories past

Made me cry out loud at last

The dry leaves whirled the air

Made me ask for what I care!



And for the moment I was free again

The life I led

Was emptied from my head



Strange life is this

That light shines in

From another's heart

One can be reborn
