Könnte ich

die Hoffnung halten

ehe sie den Bach hinuntergeht

die Träume retten

ehe sie davonschwimmen

den Mut verankern

ehe er zerbricht

könnte ich ankommen

ehe ich fortgehe

(Annemarie Schnitt)

I wish you were here

autumn is the hardest season

the leaves are all falling

and they're falling like they're falling in love with the ground

and the trees are naked and lonely

I keep trying to tell them

new leaves will come around in the spring

but you can't tell trees those things

they're like me they just stand there

and don't listen

(Andrea Gibson)
