Don’t be afraid, it’s only me
But it was quite some time ago
How’s your life and work
How’s the family and your mum?
If you ask me, times have been rough
But you have to look forward
I may be a sad sight
but I assure you that I’ll be all right

You know time flies like hell
We’re not getting any younger
But I’m happy to hear you’re fine
Since you left our old town
I carry luggage in my life
My soul hasn't got any hunger
I may be a sad sight
but I assure you that I’ll be all right

Life’s a rather strange dance, you know?
And there’s no course on how to dance it well
Sometimes it’s too fast and sometimes too slow
And will it end in heaven or in hell?

Was life not easier before
When we threw balls and played games?
We never worried about anything
There was no use for that at all.
I look around and I can see
How everything falls together.
I may be a sad sight
but I assure you that I’ll be all right
