Farewell To Old Friends, Part I
Feels just like yesterday when I entered that place
Rather by accident than really by fate
The old man - immediately his eyes watched my soul
When I sat in front of him he made me recall ...
Why did the sky send all this rain, hollow out the headstone?
How could it dare to drown the bravery!
Why did it wash our ground away and erode what we've grown?
While just a trace of rust remains ...
Autumn rain poured down, flushed the grit away
Black hole in the ground - metal rayed out pain
Drops of forlorn times camouflaged my tears
In slow motion I watched them fall on me
Why did the sky send all this rain, hollow out the headstone?
How could it dare to drown the bravery!
Why did it wash our ground away and erode what we've grown?
While just a trace of rust remains ...
