The Final Foreword

The First-Step & Last-Waltz Album [Editorial]

Zeitreise von der „Beat-Kultur“ der 60-er Jahre mit der ersten Improved-Single „It Is You“, zum Farewell-Song aus dem dritten Jahrtausend.- Dazwischen Filmmusik für Michael Verhoevens „Engelchen macht weiter...“, die „Krempoli“-Serie und die „Komissar“-Folge „Dr. Meinhardts trauriges Ende“. Aber auch die bislang unbekanntere Ballade vom „Policeman“ sei geneigten Ohren anempfohlen.

We Are Alone

I´ve got a brandnew car, take you on a ride
All your neighbours stare when I pick you up
You can really be proud ´cause you are my bride
Then we move away, have you on my side
People we have segregated
So we two feel integrated
We are alone

As we lie on the ground silent and shy
On a quivering blade a butterfly
Your long golden hair gleams in the sun
Then you smell the heavy scent of hay
Oh your eyes will gaze so dreamy
I will ever hold you near me
We are alone

Roaming ´bout the countryside
Feeling free just like a child
All my senses are far widened
We´re alone

Then it´s time to go, it can be hell
You´re so sad, your eyes are filled with tears
You think of your work to come so soon
Baby you can cheer up looking at the moon
Baby now I promise you
Till next Sunday I´ll be true
We are alone
