That afternoon
A light sunshower passed by
And we were near the ocean
We ran across the wet asphalt
In the shadows of a dark beat down warehouse
We stared up and hid from the rain for a while
You are humming to yourself, I am listening
I melody I never heard of
In such a soft voice almost fading
and soon disappearing
On the way home to the city
We were caught in a trafficjam
What we talked about together
You probably don't remember either
The radio played a sad news of some stranger
and someone's boring ballad
You are humming a song I don't know
It's helplessly flowing around
I try to say something and I search for the words
But they all fade away
I don't remember the melody
that you were humming and I was listening to
The things we lose, the things we can protect
It's only a small difference
You are humming to yourself, I am listening
I melody I never heard of
In such a soft voice almost fading
and soon disappearing
