Norderney from Resting Places by Dead Koys

you grew up in a divided city.
believe me, oh you looked so pretty. you defended me against the grain. i found myself in the middle of the night,
looking for help, to feel alright, you were there –
always there.
now i try to defend myself, is lost and i ...
now i am myself, lost, i ...
i am so shy, want to be myself, i ...
i am so shy, i want you to see myself.
i try to be honest.
want to voice thoughts directly without a shame, want you
to see myself again. i never thought that we could die.
i was sixteen, never thought that we could die.
numbed ourselves to sleep that night, no goodbye.
there was a call. i stood on a dyke, it was like a movie.
we all have our crosses to bear.
the garden fence broke, the dog died.
my puberty stopped, we all have our crosses to bear.
