Our days cracked down

 

Our days cracked down with no spell to be cast

Our memories, love, they roll in the dust

But suddenly he, a little man in the street

Frees his song and dances, at a crazy upbeat

Our tears fly away: no more reason to last

 

The ballad takes life is vivid is fast

The company grows it has no haste

Our souls look around for a mark to delete:

Our days cracked down

 

No more fear no more tears nor dislike for a mask

Loneliness darkness are words of the past

The balconies show a world once secret

The people stay out the railings frame it

Our smiles build a bridge over times overcast:

Our days cracked down
