The day when he said to me, it's time to leave
Was just like any other day
I had just left the boy asleep in his room
Dreaming of old pink stamps
Wanted to tell him a story
But time has no senses
And I was too far away
I wanted half of the day
Or just half of a second
To tell my boy goodbye
I am gone on a river, on a boat made for us
I am gone so far away
I am gone on a river, on a boat made for us
And I will never be back
Time brings death and time brings birth
Now it's time to leave all behind
I wanted half of a word
Or just half of a sentence
To tell my boy goodbye
I am gone on a river, on a boat made for us
I am gone so far away
I am gone on a river, on a boat made for us
And I will never be back
Light is light and ashes are ashes
And now the candles burn down
But the grass that is growing yet for some time
Will tell my boy goodbye
The day when he said to me it's time to leave
Was just like any other day
I had just left the boy asleep in his room
Dreaming of old pink stamps
I am gone on a river, on a boat made for us
I am gone so far away
I am gone on a river, on a boat made for us
And I will never be back
I am gone on a river, on a boat made for us
I am gone so far away
I am gone on a river, on a boat made for us
And I will never be back
