Hazy, grey, a brumous time
It´s not the day to go for a walk
I run out, want to take the bus
Before I ask one lady says:
Delayed departure
I look at her as I wonder
Her shirt is green, her skirt is blue
Why do these colours make me pause
I walk back home, give you a call
I´ll be late" is what I say
I stay at home" is what I mean
Delayed departure.
I take your photo off the sideboard
On its back it says "I love You"
Oh well, it shows this night in August
The woods were green, the lake was blue
We loved our dance in the water
Intimate, cozy, close
Delayed departure
I hesitate in my thoughts:
Am I better off alone?
And I don´t know if I´ll regret
But I digress my course with You
Cause like the boats on the blue lake
I see our kinship sail away
Delayed departure!
I miss the lady with the blue skirt
As I sit here all alone…
