STONE BY NOW
(Klaus Ebert/Horst Ebert)

I saw a man in the park
Some ten years ago
Well my friend, it`s been a long time ago
Today I saw him again, right on the same bench, you know
Yeah my friend, it`s been a long time ago.

Still the same expression in his open eyes
Still the same conviction in his rigid mind
Still the same direction, he didn`t move until now
Still the same affection, he has to be stone by now.

I said `Hello` to the man, `do you remember me?`
Well, my friend, he took no notice of me
I sat right down by his side, offered cigarette and light
But my friend, he neither took nor denied.
Still the same expression.......

I`m gonna go in the park, IŽll sit right down on the bench
Yeah, my friend, I`m gonna find out right now
The feeling nothing to feel, to have a mind like a stone
And my friend, I`m sure IŽll like it that way!
Still the same expression.....
