Bon voyage
No goodbyes to be said
No tears to be shed
Came with lots of dreams
Going back with none
The streets of Pretoria may remember
‘A lonely soul had walked on me’
Surely the dirty street of Hilda
Where he stood for hours looking for her
She didn’t come for days and days
He almost forgot that
He was waiting for her
And one day she came smiling
Only for that finest day
So no goodbyes to be said
No tears to be shed
The two sisters who became a tree
When they embraced each other
The disguise to make them free
He loved them both
He heard their stories
He asked them in tears
‘Tell me one more time’
They used to tease him with glassy laugh
‘We are just trees and you are drunk
It is not our story it is yours’
One day they were gone
Burnt and cut into pieces
So no more tears to shed
No goodbyes to say.
Before I go the rain should stop
Then I can see the stars once more
Still no goodbyes and no tears
Zero kilos of dreams in the bag
