From a farewell to a farewell
There is only one return
Frequent letters, empty promise
All forgotten long ago
We’ve been playing like small children
Games of parting on and on
In the world now all has split up
Into love and what’s not love
Someone’s to go, someone’s to come back
Some will forgive, someone will judge us
Looks like the tiniest share of loving
Falls to our most endearing loved ones.
It’s so windy, it’s so snowy
And the distance out of reach
How endless is our journey
So fast-flowing is our grief
Give a smile to me at parting
Hear the oboelike train whistle?
Well, I’m leaving without packing
Taking with me my lone self!
Someone’s to go, someone’s to come back
Some will forgive, someone will judge us
Looks like the tiniest share of loving
Falls to our most endearing loved ones.
All that you said for a banter
I will keep in mind for real
Age-old terminals of stations
See too much of newer tears
Please, accept life as a joyride
Other reasons, you won’t find
It so happened that we’ve split up
Into women and men now.
Someone’s to go, someone’s to come back
Some will forgive, someone will judge us
Looks like the tiniest share of loving
Falls to our most endearing loved ones.
