Lyrics

Father, the story began with you, but the sorrow became my share

a heavy landslide of fate settled into a corner of my heart

A mother who was my whole world, a sun in the dark nights

now her photograph on the wall brings nothing but longing and grief

I am your thirteen-year-old son, who for thirty years has not woken

in the bitter sleep of your not being here, nothing comes round again

Every breath in my chest turned into a nightmare with no end

you are not here, and until the last day I will see myself an orphan

They say the earth is cold — a lie! my heart burns for ever

I am still that same child who lays his head on your knees

You went and I was left behind, in that dark and blurred moment

look what your son has taken, from these days so full of grief

I am your thirteen-year-old son, who for thirty years has not woken

in the bitter sleep of your not being here, nothing comes round again

Every breath in my chest turned into a nightmare with no end

you are not here, and until the last day I will see myself an orphan

Time went over my hair, but my heart has stayed old

a clock, on that day of leaving, stayed up on the wall of fate

Look, mother, my life without you is like a picture gone dim

and every corner of it, from the pain of the distance, shows an autumn

I am your thirteen-year-old son, who for thirty years has not woken

in the bitter sleep of your not being here, nothing comes round again

Every breath in my chest turned into a nightmare with no end

you are not here, and until the last day I will see myself an orphan

Not today and tomorrow but every day, you are in what I remember

still I go after the scent of your hands, in every alley and every yard of mine

Come and see how it was — you went, and I died, and went on dying

come, so you can see what road I walked for nothing without you

I am your thirteen-year-old son, who for thirty years has not woken

in the bitter sleep of your not being here, nothing comes round again

Every breath in my chest turned into a nightmare with no end

you are not here, and until the last day I will see myself an orphan

I am still standing in the same place...

in that thirteenth year...

a nightmare with no end...

mother...
