Farewell Songtext
von The Americans

Everything arranged in perfect rows, nicely done
My, look at her face
Yes, she does look great
If I could, I would escape

Stifled tears, haven′t seen her in years
Thank you all for being here
And for your condolences and compassion
Feeble hands on walking canes passing


A world is gone, but people keep moving
Like nothing was wrong
In my full life, will I ever mean
To anyone what she means to me?

Where's your brother?
Well, he responded emotionally to the news
Words are said, never enough
Passages read, dusty old stuff

At the bottom of the stairs, I rest my bones alone
And close my eyes, till nothing means a thing
After a while, words don′t mean a thing
And the world is thin and gray as dead skin


To tell the truth, there wasn't much left
I'm glad it′s finally over with
At least she′s in a better place
How are you? Hanging in there, kid?
