Vertaling van: Acda en de Munnik - Lena

It's half past ten in the morning here
And Amsterdam dries up
To drown in the rain again later
It was quiet in the business
I thought I'll call you
But I feel the courage sinking in my shoes now *)

Sorry about the time difference
I should have known better
But when you're awake it's night here again
I would like to tell you
What I couldn't then, that day
Say what I really shouldn't

It's because I had to be
In our old neighbourhood yesterday
Wait, someone else is on the line
You speak it fluently
I have a hunch who that was
I didn't think you'd be alone now

I wanted to keep everything like it was
And that was all I tried
Of all roads I could walk with you then
Did I actually choose the wrong one like today
It is too late
I shouldn't have called
Sorry about the time difference
But I have to go back to work
Lunch will start here

It is too late
More than a year too late
Good to hear from you and all
I really wanted to say
Still empty sentences after all these years

I wanted to keep everything what it was
And that's all I tried
Of all the roads I could walk with you then, I chose
Actually like today
Actually like today
After all these years the wrong one again

*) Meaning: his courage dwindles
