The Band
I was hanging around in life
My love called me
To see the band pass
Singing things of love
My suffering people
Farewelled pain
to see the band pass
Singing things of love
The serious man counting money stopped
The lighthouse keeper counting goods stopped
The girlfriend counting stars stopped
To see, hear and make way
The sad girl that lived quietly smiled
The sad rose that lived closed gaped open
And all the kids became excited
To see the band pass
Singing things of love
I was hanging around in life
My love called me
To see the band pass
Singing things of love
My suffering people
Farewelled pain
to see the band pass
Singing things of love
The weak old man forgot tiredness and thought
That he was still young enough to go on the terrace and danced
The ugly girl leant out the window
Thinking that the band played for her
The joyful march diffused through the avenue and insisted
The full moon that was hidden came out
My whole town spruced itself up
To see the band pass
Singing things of love
But to my disappointment
That which was sweet finished
Everything returned to its place
After the band passed
And each in his corner
In each corner a pain
After the band passed
Singing things of love
After the band passed
Singing things of love...
