Kolibri

(Verse 1)
Encounters flicker, remain brief, fade,
the streets don't remember our names.
Too much time, too many iron bridges,
but on the horizon this little light still burns,
a spark that says: ‘Run on.’
You left, I right,
until the circle closes -
perhaps only for a breath,
in which the world pauses
and the hummingbird leaves its colours behind.

(Refrain)
What I would give,
for a life before this life,
for the courage to lose principles,
and to find love instead of tears.
But I fall back into my little universe,
you fly out into the wind.
What remains is you in my thoughts,
a here and now that refuses to end.

(Verse 2)
Time heals, they say -
but scars are maps,
that lead us back again and again.
Our reunion lies somewhere in the fog,
the moment accuses time,
and I tell everyone,
that I was yours -
maybe just a dream,
maybe just wine in the night.

(Bridge)
Farewell like a blow to the heart,
the hangover came without noise.
Chaos in my head,
break in my voice,
a storm that burns all my senses.

(Outro)
Hummingbird, come once more,
put colours in my hands,
before we both go
in different directions again.
