(Erinnerung An Die Marie A.) It was a day in that blue month September Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade I held her there My love, so pale and silent As if she were a dream that must not fade Above us in the shining summer heaven There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon It was quite white and very high above us Then I looked up And found that it had gone And since that day, so many moons in silence Have swum across the sky and gone below The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood And if you ask, how does that love seem now I must admit, I really can't remember And yet I know what you are trying to say But what her face was like, I know no longer I only know I kissed it on that day As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it But for the cloud that floated in the sky I know that still and shall forever know it It was quite white and moved in very high It may be that the plum trees still are blooming That woman's seventh child may now be there And yet that cloud had only bloomed for minutes When I looked up It vanished on the air Repetition Johnny is a man And he's bigger than you But his overheads are high And he looks straight through when you ask him how the kids are He'll get home around seven 'Cause the chevy's real old And he could have had a cadillac If the school had taught him right And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse And the food is on the table But the food is cold Don't hit her "Can't you even cook? What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?"
