Ragnar

You know who that is?  It is me!

I’m drinking beer as you can see

I’m on the beach in the sun

You can’t believe I’m 99 and having fun

Now turn the cards, that’s also me

I’m all a mess at 83

I’ve got a week or two to go

And there is no one around who I know

If you’d know how I’d miss you I believe you would still be here

You’d have thought of the future and the dream coming true

If you’d know how I’d miss you, you’d have taken much better care

You’d have been saved by your ego and the promise of peace

Oh yeah, oh yeah, but now you’ve blown it all to bits

You know by now, again it’s me

This time it’s over suddenly

Maybe a murder or a stroke

Or a car crash or a lightning: I’m up in smoke

If you’d know how I’d miss you I believe you would still be here

You’d have thought of the future and the dream coming true

If you’d know how I’d miss you, you’d have taken much better care

You’d have been saved by your ego and the promise of peace

Oh yeah, oh yeah, but now you’ve blown it all to bits

The dream is obviously dead

But always present in my head

Although of course I have it clear

That no matter where I’ll be, you won’t be there

If you’d known how I’d miss you

I believe you would still be here
