Let there be no laughter!
Stop the flowers in their bloom
Dry away that summer shower
No melody shall resume
Stop all the clocks and halt the Earth
Gather the stars, they’ve lost their worth
Send the moon on its way, the sun to sleep
Let me ponder alone and on my destiny weep
Pour the oceans away-
I’ll fill them with my tears
Until I’ve washed away the memories
Of those deluding years
Away with everything!
Til there’s nothing I can see..
For I know now that nothing
can return those happy days to me
