I would like to enter the picture Of both of you walking For I walked there too In the same despair and desperation In that point of the insolvable I would like to enter and say I understand But you would not know what I understood So it is better To buy ourselves cokes And stare into the water Where the ducks go And watch them nibble off Mounds of dirt Although I would Of course prefer To look lovingly Into your eyes And receive Your loving looks too And feel not sadness But eternity
Irwin R. Shaw - August 20th 1982
I would like to enter the picture
Of both of you walking
For I walked there too
In the same despair and desperation
In that point of the insolvable
I would like to enter and say
I understand
But you would not know what I understood
So it is better
To buy ourselves cokes
And stare into the water
Where the ducks go
And watch them nibble off
Mounds of dirt
Although I would
Of course prefer
To look lovingly
Into your eyes
And receive
Your loving looks too
And feel not sadness
But eternity
