In Memoriam

Years have passed, since you left us You have gone to divinity It feels like an eternity You were only eighteen Deprived of a bright future After we heard of your fate Stood we together by the Rhine Watched a hundred balloons Rise into the sky Shocked to the bone marrow Like being hit by a burning arrow It was an accident, nobody's fault But I still think that our friendship fell short Our friendship fell short Please stay by my side, as imaginary angel Till my last ride, when I get to the cradle Would you please hold my purse? Your last words to me Forever in my memory For several years, it becoming my curse A sentence, so meaningless Leading into emotional sickness I couldn't know that we will never meet again It was an accident, nobody's fault But I still think that our friendship fell short Our friendship fell short Please stay by my side, as imaginary angel Till my last ride, when I get to the cradle So many things I've never told you I never told you, how beautiful you were How infectious your laughter was I never told you, how much I enjoyed talking to you One of the smartest persons I ever knew More mistakes I regret Mistakes I will never forget It was an accident, nobody's fault But I still think that our friendship fell short Our friendship fell short Please stay by my side, as imaginary angel Till my last ride, when I get to the cradle As I write these lines With tears in my eyes And coming to the end I finally want to say How grateful I am That we crossed our ways It was an accident Nobody's fault But I still think that Friendship fell short
