some people prefer not to drink coffee with their donuts

 
Why do we always end like this?
Is there a way around our parting?

I am walking down the street
The horizon is nowhere in sight
Do I hear your voice in the wind?

A lock of your hair, astray; she turns
It is not you - a stranger
Whose fate has nothing to do with me.


I never knew you
Yet you are all that I now know
You never saw me
Saw right through the lie,
Returned my mask to me
That I might again be complete


  Leave me alone
  Return to me
  There must be another way

  We were alone together
  Leave me be
  You meant nothing and will be nothing

      Why can I not believe my own lies?


In your mind I love you in my own way
You know that I use you, as only a means
For my own salvation, I am nothing to you

In quiet times I remember our happiness
That winter night's song is lost to me
Why embrace you this white oblivion?


I was there for you
Yet never was I here or now
Do I exist? - I remember
The night at the club: the drinks,
The masks of faces
That were never whole: you were there for me.


  I was alone
  You found me
  I lived to find another way

  I lost myself beyond
  Your unseen embrace
  Let's meet again soon, over coffee

      One winter day.
