FRAGMENTS OF OUR DAYS

I guess it’s over now, there’s nothing left to do

It wouldn’t change anything if we tried for something new

Our plans, made long ago, we’ll achieve without delay

          And now the memories are doomed to vanish in fire

          I’ll bring the matches and sit nearby but not to close

          ‘Cause I don’t wanna burn for nothing

          I don’t wanna burn for nothing

I’ll meet the morning with a few blood-drops in the dust

I know I’ve never been a man whom you could trust

If we stayed together longer, we would only waste our lives

          The prudent man knows when it’s time to retire

          I’ll leave the fragments of our days and walk out fast

          ‘Cause I don’t wanna burn for nothing

          I don’t wanna burn for nothing.

(M. Petrak)
