As I gasp for breath while I drown the pain in morphine
While my herz beats in tune with the rolling static hills on the metal screen
I lay on my deathbed reflecting on my life
I can say I had a good one although it was filled to the brim with tidal waves of hurt
I laughed in delight while running through the golden fields embracing the open skies and wearing a halo of warm sunshine
I climbed trees and swam in the salty smaragd sea
But Moma was always working hard at the speiselokal, diner filling out orders for sugary milkshakes and greasy fries
And brother Tim was always out too late fixing old radios who sang their last jazzy blues
However
I can’t though say that I don’t have regrets
I regret not telling Du how I really felt
How Du made my herz flutter
As tears sprang in my Schokolade eyes
How I wanted to hug Du with all my might
And KISS Du on the cheek
While we sat in the dark
Watching the stars
But I couldn’t do that to you
I was already way in too deep
With my head under the waves
And eyes seeing gray
Du were already walking into the glory of your psychedelic regenbogen dreams and into the light of Tag with a backpack and filled with Moma's limonade and being waved goodbye
They say Du went down a hero while the ship was set ablaze with the enemies fire
And I couldn’t agree more, but why did Du have to leave me all alone?
Why did Du leave us all alone?
I hope you’re enjoying your whipped cream kirsche pie up there in the cotton Süßigkeiten fluffed sky..
They send Du back in a coffin that they carried on the sea and the whistling steaming train
They put Du under our feet with one final salute
That's all they could do
All I could do was wail as a storm wolke sailed and hailed
That was all I could do for you
I regret not telling Du that I loved Du with all my herz
I regret that I told Du that I hated you
I regret that I thought that I ever could
I Liebe Du Daddy..
