[Verse 1]
Early summer twilight;
Heavy, gray clouds loom,
Threatening imminent rain.
Frogs are calling for the rain.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Day and night converge.
A time when light still lingers.
[Chorus 1]
Empty moments drift by;
Finite, with an end in sight.
Though it cannot last forever,
It feels like an eternity.
[Verse 2]
The fishmonger drives a BMW.
He leans out to offer a greeting.
The diesel engine’s roar echoes,
Then silence returns.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As dusk falls and clouds roll in,
Darkness settles over the surroundings.
[Chorus 2]
Empty moments drift by;
Finite, with an end in sight.
Though it cannot last forever,
It feels like an eternity.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
An empty early summer beach;
Frothing white waves
Roll in and out endlessly,
While a single contrail streaks the sky.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Without stepping onto the sand,
I turned back the way I came.
[Chorus 3]
Empty moments drift by;
Finite, with an end in sight.
Though it cannot last forever,
It feels like an eternity.
[Bridge]
Just before entering the house,
I realized I had dropped something.
Retracing my steps as if rewinding time.
I found the forgotten object lying there.
[Final Chorus]
Empty moments drift by;
Finite, with an end in sight.
Though it cannot last forever,
It feels like an eternity.
