I'm looking at the ground,
I'm counting my steps.
A hole in my heart,
A hole in our middle.
A sea of pretty flowers,
Yet i see them only blurred.
The people who loved you,
All of them have come,
And are trying to understand
And to give each other hold
I hear the parson say
"Death is a part of life"
There is so much that i would have wanted to ask you
And so much more that i would have wanted to tell you
I am thankful for the time that we could spend together
I'm thankful for the light, and i am thankful for the shadow.
But i can't yet understand, i can't yet even grasp it,
That you're no longer with us, yet i have to let you go.
Not far from the cemetarys entrance,
Where other mourners are waiting,
Just behind a hedge,
There is a little kindergarden.
And such tears a little childrens' laughter,
Now, from time to thime,
Through the silence, and the emptiness,
And the bewilderment.
Even in this moment
When you don't understand the world
It seems that life still wants to show you
That yet, it still carries on.
And it reminds us yet, in that very way
That in a farewell can sometimes also live a welcome.
I am thankful for the time that we could spend together
I'm thankful for the light, and i am thankful for the shadow.
But i can't yet understand, i can't yet even grasp it,
That you're no longer with us, yet i have to let you go.
I'm still waiting
That someone comes and wakes me up.
That someone says
"Wrong movie, we only scared you."
The wound may heal, one day.
But a deep scar remains, even then.
Right now, i feel like you're leaving me alone.
But i know you'll be with me forever.
I am thankful for the time that we could spend together
I'm thankful for the light, and i am thankful for the shadow.
But i can't yet understand, i can't yet even grasp it,
That you're no longer with us, yet i have to let you go.
