Eerste Helmersstraat
I'm sitting on the roof again, the Eerste Helmersstraat below
Sixteen cigarettes and a sea of u200bu200btime
If the stars remain hanging , I stay where I am
I pay my dues and I am not indebted to anyone
I sit here once every year, my back against the wall
And think of what the meantime has brought me
Who's gone, who came in?
What I did, did I do it well?
How come life smiles at me?
And I'm sitting again on the roof, my love
Like every year
And I thank the day that I saw you
Because that's what it comes down to
I'm on the roof again , the Eerste Helmersstraat below
Although I haven't lived here for about seven years
Every house has a roof
Every year has a wall
And every year a night like that once
And this year was so simple, sweet
Nobody died, you came
I'm having fun, end of story
Twelve more cigarettes, but below that Are you sleeping
I think I won't make it to the sun tonight
I'm sitting on the roof again, my love
Like every year
And I thank the day that I you saw
Because that's what it comes down to
That's what it comes down to
