For Saskia and her dad (1935-2021)


[Rough English translation]
SOMEWHERE STILL HERE
Hey Dad, how are you
It's been a while
I miss you
I can still see you standing
Behind the front door
From the nursing home
How you kept waving
When we had to go

You couldn’t find your place
Didn’t get used to it there
You wanted to go home
With us
Until you forgot
Where your home was
Who everyone was
It all happened so fast

But it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Hey Dad, I still see us
Together enjoying
Concerts by Bach
You with closed eyes
You were there for me
When I got depressed
That I was not alone
Spoke out of your face

And it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Sometimes you were struggling
You could be angry, stubborn
Did not know what to do with yourself
The helplessness of your childhood
You came back to that again
A child, now skin and bone
That was always on its own
All alone

Hey Dad, I would
Like to talk to you
While I rub your shoulder
Somewhere still here, somewhere on earth
Where you are with me

Well I’m a Big Bad Man from Rockingham
Gonna set this town on Fire
I got a hell of a thirst, I just gotta be first
I am burning with Desire
But regular Joe who wants the world to know
That he’s the main attraction
So I track him down to a bar down town
Now I’m ready for some action
And we had one hell of a fight 
yeah I was shaking all through the night
But I soon put out his lights
Tonight, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light
But when I met her first, She said I’ll quench that thirst
you gotta learn some manners  
Oh well she teased and squeezed, till I’m begging please
I got a face like a bag of spanners
She said I’ll ease that pain if you play my game
I’ll show you some affection
After 3 or 4 days, I’m in a hell of a haze
I can’t believe my own reflection
But she gave me a hell of a fright
Yeah I was shaking all through the night
But she soon turned down my lights
That night, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light
I must confess that I’m in a mess
you got me waiting in distress
She got a key and she’s watching me
She got my measure by degrees
So sweet and clean, Know what I mean
I’m just another James Dean
I’m laying low, I curse and Moan
You gotta give the Dog a bone!
Now in the pale moon light, under a blue porch light
She’s got a head upon my shoulder
She said you ain’t no use unless you pay those dues
But I guess we’re getting older
But she gave me a hell of a fright
Yeah I was shaking all through the night
But she soon turned down my lights
That night, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light etc

put me down like a misbehaved dog

nerve.
