Paint the World Red

Oh little birds now I send you away
Other blue skies are waiting for you
Now I'm going to paint the world red
I'm proud I'm loud, I'm subtle and silent, I'm glorious and grey
I dance with cold winds till the last leaf falls

Summer is gone now
Winter is calling
In between I am dreaming my dream
When I wake up the world is already sleeping
In silent white, as if there had never been me

Under black umbrellas on days of endless rain
I am only a fading memory
My streets were golden
Now bare trees melt with dense fog and scarves are hiding faces
Stories are no longer told on squares

Summer is gone now
Winter is calling
In between I am dreaming my dream
When I wake up the world is already sleeping
In silent white, as if there had never been me
Do you remember me in silent white
A red star on white snow
