i will never forget that afternoon
you looked so nice
with the city lights reflecting
in your dark brown eyes
it´s now been put down on paper
since it won' t come back
so, so long oriental sailor
you have left a track

when i touched you in a mad dream
i was half insane
adding just another memory
to this old lane
as the raging creature keeps on roaring
in my mind
i discover life is cruel and
life is seldom kind

like my childhood river kiss the salt sea
when they meet
i have kneeled in front of beauty
just to kiss its feet
it´s unworthy of my worship
but i´ll be here still
like a fool, a lonely loser
on a distant hill
