Without A Sound

Today I passed you by

Without a sound

Though it seems I laid my head

Beside you to sleep last night

It must have been a dream serene

Your hand in mine

But the rays of daybreak soon

Illumined a strange new scene

Sad ways we follow down

With every step we're moving more apart

As if we'd known it for sure

Right from the start

The rules are so undefined

In this game with no name

We set our aims and make our moves

So deaf, mute and endlessly blind

I'll try not to think of you

No single thought

Anyway, in this dim-lit place of mine

There's barely enough room for two

Sad ways we follow down

Only empty words echo in my mind

It seems that the colors fade

With the memories we leave behind

Sad ways we follow down

With every step we're moving more apart

Passing like strangers in the mist

Without a sound

What were your reasons for

Not calling me, not sending me a word

Ignoring my screaming eyes

And leaving the signs unseen and unheard

What were my reasons for

Not calling you, not dropping you a line

If forever means such a short time

Won't everything else be but a lie

Sad ways we follow down

Those empty words are needless to repeat

Can't you see our feelings turn to gray

And die away like the flowers at your feet?

Sad ways we follow down

And so I'm passing you - a gray figure in the crowd

With a verse I'm singing you softly…
