Today I passed you by Without a sound Though it seems I laid my head Beside you to sleep last night It must have been a dream serene Your hand in mine But the rays of daybreak soon Illumined a strange new scene
Sad ways we follow down With every step we're moving more apart As if we'd known it for sure Right from the start
The rules are so undefined In this game with no name We set our aims and make our moves So deaf, mute and endlessly blind I'll try not to think of you No single thought Anyway, in this dim-lit place of mine There's barely enough room for two
Sad ways we follow down Only empty words echo in my mind It seems that the colors fade With the memories we leave behind Sad ways we follow down With every step we're moving more apart Passing like strangers in the mist Without a sound
What were your reasons for Not calling me, not sending me a word Ignoring my screaming eyes And leaving the signs unseen and unheard What were my reasons for Not calling you, not dropping you a line If forever means such a short time Won't everything else be but a lie
Sad ways we follow down Those empty words are needless to repeat Can't you see our feelings turn to gray And die away like the flowers at your feet? Sad ways we follow down And so I'm passing you - a gray figure in the crowd With a verse I'm singing you softly…
