about

(english version below)
Dies ist das erste Stück, das ich geschrieben habe, nachdem ich mit einem lachenden und einem weinenden Auge aus Wilhelmshaven ins Ländle gezogen bin. Irgendwann hat sich noch ein Stück im 11/8-Takt reingeschlichen, der ein wenig die weiteren Reisen nach dem Verlassen der Heimat andeutet.

-------

This was the first song I've written after moving from my hometown Wilhelmshaven to the south of Germany. After a while a part in 11/8 time sneaked in, which is a bit indicating the journey I went after leaving my home.

lyrics

I close the door it makes me smile
I go away a little while
From the house I call my home
through the wide world i will roam
I say good-by and walk away
we will meet another day
but for now i leave this town
I want to be just on my own

Good-bye everybody
I wanna go another way
Good-bye everybody
We'll meet again another day

I put my feet on other places
want to see some different faces
I want to find the greener grass
Maybe yet another lass
I wanna be just somewhere new
and for now i make it true
Leave you all and walk away
Into the light of the brand new day

I travel as long as I am free
and there are places left to see
I like the breeze around my nose
there is never an overdose!
Looking back the way i came
I can see that all is right
I won't regret what I have done
Cause nothing done is ever wrong
