Forgotten Garden - Peter von Poehl

Y the time he left the city

Through restless streets

Already led astray

A promise faded north-side of the bridge;

All these forgotten figures

Carried in his chest

He felt the south wind on his shadow

As the sloping landscape

Picked up speed

Following directions logically

His old familiar voices disagreed

He kept staring out the window

Past the furrows and the grooves below

Way beyond a keen mind

And a broken dream

That a child had left behind

He took the small roads after midnight

A hand above him clearly drew his flight

The sound of changes devilling his soul;

It was clear as daylight

That he was nowhere near his goal

He kept staring out the window

Past the furrows and the grooves below

Way beyond a keen mind

And a broken dream

That a child had left behind

He tied a string around his finger

Captured by the sidetracks on parade

He left an urge to break

Their constant waves;

In this forgotten garden

Nothing can be saved
