Instrumentals borrowed from "Are The Good Times Really Over" (Merle Haggard)

Lyrics :
The last time we saw each other
You know that better than me. It was back in 2017
And only now in six cold winters later
In 2023
When we have just one day to share again together

Just to discuss things as we used to do before
But it's sad to admit that besides the time we have today we can't have any way more
Before saying goodbye and keep on living apart and all alone
While keeping on doing things we used to well know
Without admitting that we both are far gone

So every time I look at your lovely eyes those good times we once had I still recall
And I got to admit that the feelings I have for you some folk would name love
So it's hard to stop dreaming of you but my love for freedom is still strong
So it's the same way hard for me to stop living by my own

But by the shinning glint in your eyes I can reckon that you might feel the same
Which makes me to feel some sort of sadness and some kind of pain
For being both in love while not getting enough of keeping on loving our freedom in vain
And I cannot see there is any good chance for some happiness in our ways

And it looks like there is no living for us without going astray
But I assume that way I cannot let it just stay
So I will have to make us to use any chance to be together and at the same time free some day

Because loosing a chance like that would be ashame
And only the two of us would be to blame
Every time we see each other in many cold winters later again

But since the eight is number of winters that apart we have spent
Not sharing together our love
I consider that now we might be just too late
Since I don't think my life will last that long
So our ways maybe better stay diffirent

So I guess this is my burden and with that I have to carry on
So goodbye my lady and please go
Or stay and try to reassure me that we ought not to be gone...

...but only if you think that we got to
Use any chance to be together and at the same time free some day
Because loosing a chance like that would be ashame
And only the two of us would be to blame
Each time we see each other in many cold winters later again
