Zehn Nach Elf

The last note sung
The last chord faded away
The last autograph written
Feel like a leftover

I take off my bathrobe in the cloakroom
The roadies push my piano
Out of the hall
The applause and all the songs
Have faded into nowhere
A sip of white wine is still there
Not quite cold anymore

Ten past eleven just like every night
First the light and then the emptiness
Ten past eleven I imagine
That I would still be with you today
Not celebrated, just cared for
Not celebrated just loved
And simply glad that you exist

Waved to the fans in front of the hotel
Had a drink with the band
I could still go around the houses
To escape loneliness

Wants to reach for the cell phone and let the call go
You have to get up early tomorrow morning, you're probably just falling asleep
There is a lot to tell about tonight and also about me
I'll write a text message and send it to you

Ten past twelve just like every night
First the light and then the emptiness
Ten past twelve I imagine
That I would still be with you today
Not celebrated, just cared for
Not celebrated just loved
And simply glad that you exist

I watch nonsense on TV
The bell rings and it's your turn
You say you just woke up
And you thought of me in your dream

Ten past one maybe already ten past two
There there there there there there there there there

Not celebrated, just cared for
Not celebrated just loved
And simply glad that you exist
