carmico - So long

"So long" habe ich schon vor ewiger Zeit geschrieben, aber erst im letzten Jahr konnte ich mich endlich dazu durchringen, den Song zu arrangieren und aufzunehmen.
Gewidmet ist der Song Gertrud P., einer guten Freundin, die an dem Tag, als ich den Song damals das erste mal vor Publikum spielte, bei einem Motoradunfall tragisch ums Leben kam.
It´s just a simple song.

So long (for Gertrud P.)

time has come, I must leave you
my friends it´s time
I won´t cry, and I won´t forget
these hands holding mine

I did it my way, allways in the light
I tried to win, never tried to fight
against these things
which wanted to cut my wings
while my flight

over live so high and all
the time I saw
the higher you climb
the deeper you fall

all the times we sat together
talking problems over, were
too hard to solve
or too small to count them up now
discussin´ important problems now
it´s too late

So long my friends
we´ll see us in the morning
holding hands
flying up to a sky we can´t arrive
so high, though we know that it´s down to die

so high and all
the time we saw
the higher you climb
the deeper you might fall

So long my friends
we´ll see us in the morning
just holding hands
climbing up to a sky we can´t arrive
so high, though we know that it´s down to die

so high and all
the time we saw...
you must fall
just fall
