For Those We Knew - Allan Taylor, Christoph-Mathias Mueller, Göttinger Symphonie Orchester

We saw the times

We wrote the songs of cafe bars

And midnight chimes

In perfect rhymes

That danced with melodies in song

We sang the times

We paid our dues

We took the road and played the game

Of win or lose

We chose the muse

She led us on in neon lights

Of midnight hues

And through it all

The rise and fall

The come and go, the lost and won

We made our way

And took the day

We marched to rhythms of our own

And travelled on

A single star

That seemed to hang on the horizon

From afar

A perfect star

A city streetlight in the night

This was our star

And through it all

The rise and fall

The come and go, the lost and won

We made our way

And took the day

We marched to rhythms of our own

And travelled on

For those we knew

The ones we lost along the way

The chosen few

They left too soon

But we’re the ones who’ll carry on

For those we knew

And through it all

The rise and fall

The come and go, the lost and won

We made our way

And took the day

We marched to rhythms of our own

And travelled on
