lyrics
Title: Pomegranates
A few more years
we still have for ourselves
A few more years,
then everything is gone.
Apples fall in the garden
behind the house.
Like weeds,
you rip out grey hair.
The Neighbour says:
"The sun will burn out."
You could already feel that
every evening.
And, full of sorrows,
he is grabbing the fence
Decay was all you could
still build on.
A few hours
we still have for ourselves.
A few hours
we are still sparkling colourful.
Still, the apples fall
behind the house.
And we just laugh at
those who hate.
You tell the neighbour:
"I'm happy to burn out
as long as i still can feel
peace
until the end."
And you change
his sorrows into trust
And then, you kiss me
in the deepest
evening dread.
A few seconds
we still have for us
a few seconds
still one last wish
Like apples, grenades fall
behind the house.
We still breathe in
one more time
and never out again.
