Votum - Train back home

"[...] chciałem żyć świadomie, [...] czerpać ze źródeł życia samą jego istotę, odrzucić wszystko co nie było nim, by w godzinie śmierci nie odkryć, że nie żyłem"
[] I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived"
Henry David Thoreau
I never thought that night would change my life so entirely
An evening at an old friends house, a glass of wine
I was supposed to stay till eight, but then again I thought
Ill take another train back home
Ill take another train back home
The time has come for me to go, though they insisted:
Stay for the night, they said, streets look so empty tonight.
Ill take another train back home
Ill take another train back home
Take another train
The second I opened the door is still coming back to me every night;
I wish I could take a halt and turn back time.
There on the doorsteps I looked at the stars
Twinkling pranksters spun my time
I took a deep breath and thought: Lifes beautiful.
Somewhere in the night
That trains still rolling
Somewhere in the night
My trains still running
