Time – and a new beginning
Happy birthday to you, my friend
Happy birthday to you, who make my oceans sing
Happy birthday to you, The Master of Words
Happy birthday to you, who make life worth living
Every wound in my screwed up mind
You embalmed patiently, plastered and healed
The door to nightmares so dark and early seen
You closed, locked and sealed
Sometimes I'm hurt, sometimes I'm Lucy in the sky
You change and steadily move in forward space
My thoughts are flickering glims of confusedness
We hunt together now, speed up and race
You're the one – you're time and time again
You're past and present of all the silent sounds my tongue has yet not cried
Every jigsaw-toothed leaf, every blackbird's shiny feather's fall
Tell that you're worth it all – for you I will abide
When I go blind, and all's a blur of fog and waterish wells
When I go to pieces, sharp and cracked like thrown bottles of blue
You compassionately wrap your veil around my future path
You're always there – my love – Happy birthday to you
This sums up what 2005 has given me.
