The Night Conny Kramer Dies

We lay dreaming in the grass
Our heads full of crazy ideas
And just for fun he said
C'mon, let's go for a ride
But the smoke tasted bitter
Still, Conny told me what he saw
A sea of lights and colours
We had no idea
What soon would come to pass

The day when Conny Kramer died
All the bells were ringing
The day when Conny Kramer died
All his friends wept for him
It was a hard day
Because a world inside me fell apart

He often promised that he'd leave it alone
That gave me fresh courage
And I persuaded myself
That, with love, everything would be fine
But the joints became trips
There was no stopping the downhill slide
People started talking
But nobody offered Conny help

The day when Conny Kramer died, etc.

The last time he said
Now I can see heaven
I screamed at him, oh come back
He could no longer understand me
I didn't even have any more tears
I had lost everything I had
Life simply goes on
All that's left me
Are the flowers on his grave
