Analysis of Dover
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
We were happy like this
But everything can pass
It's truth I did insist
It was love of first class
But it's finally over
Our night's separated
No more words from Dover
Which I exaggerated
These were my precious days
But the time has come
Only a picture remains
Me on your arm
But it's finally over
Lonesome night's are cold
No more kisses from Dover
Memories are growing old
Time like this cannot be
More than once in a life
It meant so much for me
But everything's destined to die
And it's finally over
Together we'll never be
Our hearts flew out from Dover
And drown in the sea
The story older than time
Love, departure and pain
And still to write it, is fine
Cause they're only ones to remain
