LYRIC FOR SALE

By 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.
