That Was Before

It was five years ago, I recall Empty station, no sound at all I kept changing the towns, the names Faces came and went You ran onto the platform then Woke me up from my sleep again And your spring cut straight through my chest Breaking every fence You destroyed my old, calm world Turned my heart to a shooting field You were aiming with love - I had no chance to survive Like a dog, I obeyed your call Lost my peace, I had lost it all As I walked to the sweetest death of my life It was five years ago that day Fire burned in your eyes that way But the light slowly died Turning black and white You have gone past the edge of sun Said goodbye - «well, that’s done When we’re ashes and dust There’s no point to fight» Grey and tired, the city cried On the swings - up and down I’d fly Up to heaven, and down On the stones below I don’t blame you, I tied the rope Played with fate with a fool’s hope And I risked it all in one throw Bet my life, you know It was five years ago that day Fire burned in your eyes that way But the light slowly died Turning black and white You have gone past the edge of sun Said goodbye - «well, that’s done When we’re ashes and dust There’s no point to fight»
