The last time together

I came to see you

 

 

 I watched you

Then I watched over you 

 

 

 

I remembered the time

When you was strong

 

I knew your story

Stories of the sea, trucks and hard work

 

I remember all our lessons,

Lessons of becoming a man

 

From a grandfather to a grandson

More than a grandfather

 

I grew up and you was there

Always

 

I came to be here with you

 

 

 

Who are you now?

Is this really you?

Are you still there?

 

 

 

Are you going away now?

 

No, you are not ready yet.

You want to hang on a little while longer

 

I can see that you hold on

It is not time right now

 

 

 

I know

You don´t want to be here in this place

You never had to endure such things before

 

 

 

Now it is different

Time is catching up

 

 

 

We spoke about it.

We knew; that I had to leave

We knew it could be the last time

 

 

Where would I be without you?

The roles have changed now

You used to guide me

 

 

 
 

Now I had to be strong for you 

You asked me when you was well enough to leave 

I saw you looked through the window 

 

 

I said I didn´t know

 

You got better

We went to the sea   

I saw you in your eyes again

 

 

 

 

I had to leave

Would I see you again?

Would it be the last time?

 

Mom takes so good care of you

She´s the hero

 
 

 

 

We said our goodbyes as many times before

I thanked you, as I have done before

 

We spoke on the phone

Far away

 
 

 

You didn´t said goodbye

But you said

And it was okay

Don´t stay too long

You can go when it is time

I understand

 

 

I came again as soon as I could 

I did not make it this time

Time flew so fast

 

You had left just before I got home

I do remember

You never had time to wait

Catch up if I could

This time I knew

You had to go

 

You knew I was on my way

That I would follow you
only to where your journey starts

Fare well
We'll meet again
on another journey
