Slowly and Quietly
The evening has vanished way too fastOutside the window, the night has come
Candles are burning up
Glasses are now more than empty
Eyelids are like lead
Yet no one pretends to understand anything
And time took off its top hat
When the pianist hit the last note
We disappear slowly and quietly, out in the warm night
Slowly and quietly, we walk down the street on our way home
Once, once more
Remaining chairs, benches, tables
Broken glasses, words said and unsaid
Silence finally gets its peace
Birds compose a poem for the new dawn
We disappear slowly and quietly, out in the warm night
Slowly and quietly, we walk on the street to home
Slowly and quietly, we walk down the street on our way home
Slowly and quietly, through the warm night
Once, once more
