Paroles: Esther Ofarim. Esther Ofarim 1972. Gnostic Serenade.

And finally we are as the times are
We meet to part and go our separate ways
And I am trapped on this crazy star
I've been a prisoner all of my days

Once we were young and we laughed a lot
and happiness wasn't peculiar like today
But I would give you everything you think I've got
Just to prove that it needn't remain this way

Don't let the tears fall from your eyes
if you can't make it I'll find some other way
And try to be like the stars up in the sky
and shine on nothing, wait to the end of the day.

And try to be like the stars up in the sky
and shine on nothing, wait to the end of the day
