Memories – Sandór Waïss

Grey hair
I guess that it’s fair, that I get my share
I don’t really care, less strength
That I’m well aware
I have to pay the fare, but I’m not really scared
You will take my sight, but that’s alright
I’ve seen the light, you will take my taste
But that’s okay
I had my plate

My wealth,
You can also have it
Even though I paid good time for it
Even though I paid good time for it
All I’m asking
I’m only keeping one thing, just one thing

Take everything
Take everything
But my memories
My memories x2

My face,
Fated to shrivel, none of my concern
I will take my turn, my name
Never searched for fame, it is all in vain
I won’t leave a stain, you will take my touch
But I won’t flush,
I’ve carried enough, you will take my ears
Please be my guest, no more non-sense

My wealth,
You can also have it,
Even though I paid good time for it
Even though I paid good time for it, all I’m asking
I’m only keeping one thing, just one thing

Take everything
Take everything
But my memories
My memories x2
