Midnight, not a sound

from the pavement

Has the moon

lost her memory?

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight the

weathered leaves

collect at my feet

And the wind

begins to moan

Memory, all alone

in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time

I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

Every street lamp

seems to beat

The fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and

the streetlamp gutters

And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait

for the sunrise

I must think of the new life

And I mustn't give in

When the dawn comes

tonight will be a

memory too

And the new day will begin

Break...

Burnt out ends of

smoky days

The staleful smell

of morning

The streetlight dies,

another night is over

Another day is dawning

Touch me,

it's so easy to leave me

All alone in my memories

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me you'll

understand what

happiness was

Look, a new day

has begun..
