Song from an Old Movie
A soldier, leaving for the wars,
was saying a last farewell;
beneath a streelight he met his girl
while snowflakes swiftly fell,
while snowflakes swiftly fell.
‘I had a dream the other night
of a battle far away,
and when the noise and smoke were gone
cold, cold and still I lay,
cold, cold and still I lay.
And in my dream in the dark of night
my love, I saw you too,
you stood here as you stood tonight,
but waiting for someone new,
but waiting for someone new.’
The snowflakes fell around the girl,
she did not say a word,
she took the soldier's hand and smiled
as if she had not heard,
as if she had not heard.
