The Place

I will stay out here tonight,

looking at the starry sky.

I haven't been here in a long time,

but this place was always there.

whatever happened in the meantime,

all the things that just passed it by.

I never thought I would come back here,

for it to tell me who I am.

I could feel it reaching out to me.

I might just as well close my eyes now,

and feel this place inside myself.

and whoever I was, it doesn't matter anymore I know,

all these memories hidden deep down below.

though somewhere on the way before, all those things got lost,

I know there will be new things wherever I may go.

so whatever it was, I don't care for it anymore I know,

no time for mourning 'cause there are new things to sow.

though I thought I knew who I was, it must have been someone else,

I don't care what I knew, but I know now it's time to go.

and whoever I was, it doesn't matter anymore I know,

all these memories hidden deep down below.

though somewhere on the way before, all those things got lost,

I know there will be new things wherever I may go.
