There was a time
When you could count the seconds
Until the sun went down
And disappeared from the sky

There was a time
Not long ago
The perfect escape
From this so-called life

I was invincible
Between the sheep
And undetected
Among the alleys

More than thousand hours
I’ve sacrificed

As in obligation
For a second home

But only in so long
As the moon stood high

Defined for me
An honest deception
A mistress for some hours
Nothing more than a pastime

But sometimes it was more like
Pure intoxication....

Hours dissolved into chalices
And a boy became a man...

The Mertensgasse
Never loses his magic spell

That was a time
Of plain perfection
Of blessed promises
Of endless nights

Looking back with
A slight grin

From time to time
An unknown urge
Guides me back

Listen to the words
That the lamppost speaks

Where the cobblestones alone
Pave my way back home

The glory of the alleys
Will stay eternally
