When Sisyphus arrived to Turnhout he had one song stuck in his head:
A boat in the waves
Sometimes, when my mind flies away
Through the years, back in the past
I see myself in the park, one night
Looking in a stranger's eyes..
He looked at me and flinched
He smiled at me and then he passed
By us, a chestnut tree, the flowers falling down
And in a kiosk the orchestra was playing:
A boat in the waves easilly floats
My heart is pounding and longing.
Every evening since
Still in the park, under the starry sky
We walk smiling again
Until on a bench we sat
I don't know how the first time was
I only know he kissed me
Only the mild wind on the alley
And in the kiosk the orchestra was playing
A boat in the waves easilly floats
My heart is pounding and longing.
Lots of years have passed since
Saddness and happiness
The hair was white, the children grew up
They have kids of their own..
The tear in my eye
Has dried in the dawn
Oh, I might've forgetten a lot
But I cannot forget
How in the kiosk the orchestra played:
A boat in the waves easilly floats
My heart is pounding and longing
