My body's aching, my eyes almost dry
Think of the fights and the fuss, and then the quiet goodbye
The empty house on the hillside, with meadows all around
where all our dreams came to an end
and all our try-agains couldn't stop the end
and on a day like today I knew that we were through

But I'm free again and on my own
and my very life's beginning today
because I'm free again and on my own
and the hard times may come
I know - I had some
but I think I can win in the end.

I do not say there were no happy moments
there surely were and you know I will remember them
I'll think of us as a fairy tale
without the happy end
as all the fairies have gone their way
and the old wizzard isn't bound to stay
and on the very last page
there's an empty space

But I'm free again and on my own
and my very life's beginning today
because I'm free again and on my own
and the hard times may come
I know - I had some
but I think I can win in the end.
But I'm free again and on my own
and my very life's beginning today
because I'm free again and on my own
and the hard times may come
I know - I had some
but I think I can win in the end.
