Recorded with singer songwriter Peter de Jong. Song about the homeless and remember it could happen to us all.
Hard to translate but........
I can see you're walking with bags ful of paper. Pictures of the past In your hands a large can of beer. You're talkin' to yourself , only God knows about what. You're shoes are warned out, And I feel your heart is hurtin'
You pay attention to no one and no one on you Kept prisoned in a world where you may die from cold Maybe you're thinkin' of the children of your first wife and you might still hear the words; We all love you
Hey, where are you going to is there any place left at all
A job, a house, a car, you've had it all Friends for a lifetime Women wanted to have you so bad Everything's changed, it's all left far behind Fighting to survive It don't bring you joyful days
I can see you from the window of the bar where you used to go And I wanna call you in But the bartender says; NO.....!!! Back to the barstool, I just order one more drink Inside, I feel ashamed, Don't look around anymore.
