You and Me

Let’s rock together just you and I
In night’s restless cradle,
Your beauty is ravaged by time
Skin scalded by lust
And smile tainted by loss
Yet we have this time to spend

For a very long time
I alone stood under the sky
Watching the falling stars
And drifting wisps of cloud
And the frozen yellow moon
With my shadow lingering over the grass
Like a lone question mark

Now it is time for you and me
To walk through the maze of streets
And breathe in the blue fog,
Bars are still open
Where we can sing and laugh
Without any reason or purpose
Then talk about love
And measure out our life in a beer glass

Let’s go now, just you and me
To night’s restless cradle,
There will be time to see each other’s eyes
And to know each other’s past
And to bring hundred indecisions in life

We will come back to our nest
Before dawn rubs its muzzle on night’s sky
Before birds call out our names
Before monks in orange robe go for their alms
And blue fog melts in crystal dew
Then I will know your arms and lips
Like a dream in a peaceful sleep

When we get up you can squeeze out the doubts
Or ask them if you like
Or we together can go out again
Seeing a soft morning sun
Slowly spreading upon the window-panes
Knowing there will be time, there will be time to turn back again
