The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Go to a station in the so called spring again
say hello to a stranger that comes out a train
invite him for a coke in the snackbar straight ahead
maybe he got problems and want's to talk about that
Probably he has no time i bet
the idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
Ride with a bicycle to another part of the city
say 'hello' to a girl that maybe doesn't think you're pretty
invite her for an icecream 'Cujamara Split'
maybe she got a problem and want's to talk about it
Probably she has no time i bet
the idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
Yesterday at half past three there was another song to write
so I call up a girlfriend in the middle of the night
and I sing it through the telefon and it says 'I love you'
after I lay up I'm cryed in a moody blue
Probably she has no time i bet
the idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
