Heydays

Heydays are passing
 Your house has been rented
 Several times over
 By prettier girls
 Weekends and summers
 Bands that you loved
 Were just haircuts and jackets
 Back then that was enough
 Your days are invested
 The band has been signed
 You've been there before
 Perhaps this is the time
 Girlfriends are leaving
 New girls arrive
 You open the circle
 To be blinded by light
 Uncertain the future
 Nostalgic the past
 Unable to recognize
 Moments that pass
 Oh, heydays are passing
 Friendless and thin
 From back doors of cafes
 Hid by the din
 But don't hold a candle
 Don't carry a torch
 Those are for castles
 And you are long from their court
 But lift up a bottle
 And tip back a glass
 Some years from tomorrow
 With your gut you'll look back
