Letra de 'A Song For Hilmer' de Rough Silk

I just got the phonecall that you suddenly died yesterday
Now I´m sitting´ here shocked in my dressingroom in L.A..
I still can´t believe you´re dead – so many things remain Unsaid
Sometimes what you give ain´t what you get.

So now you sailed away to a different shore
It feels so strange to know that we´ll never talk at all No more
I don´t know if there is a life after death or if this is The end
But we all get there sooner or later and maybe then I´ll Understand

But right now here I sit on the other side of the ocean.
I´m on the road like most times of my life.
I´m gonna make it home to your funeral but I still can´t Believe it´s true
But you´re gone forever and, man, this sure cuts like a Knife

So in a few hours I have to go up there on that stage
And pretend to be alright like someone had turned the page
But in my mind I´ll think of you, your wife and your Little daughter, too
Well, I wish I would have told you that you were one of Chosen few

I´m thinkin´ back to when we both were young
So many dreams – so many songs unsung
We founded this little band – and we tried real hard to Make it grand
But youth did fade like words written in the sand

So farewell, my friend, and may you rest in peace
I´ll put on my smilin´ mask so my pain nobody sees
You used to say “the show must go on” so I´ll crank that Amp up tonight
And when it´s over and they´ll finally dim the light
It all will fade to grey
`Cause I just got the phonecall that you suddenly died Yesterday
