Alles Gehad - Jacques Mees - original

Recorded with singer songwriter Peter de Jong. Song about the homeless and remember it could happen to us all.

Hard to translate but........

I can see you're walking with bags ful of paper.
Pictures of the past
In your hands a large can of beer.
You're talkin' to yourself , only God knows about what.
You're shoes are warned out,
And I feel your heart is hurtin'

You pay attention to no one and no one on you
Kept prisoned in a world
where you may die from cold
Maybe you're thinkin' of the children of your first wife
and you might still hear the words;
We all love you

Hey, where are you going to
is there any place left at all

A job, a house, a car, you've had it all
Friends for a lifetime
Women wanted to have you so bad
Everything's changed, it's all left far behind
Fighting to survive
It don't bring you joyful days

I can see you from the window of the bar where you used to go
And I wanna call you in
But the bartender says; NO.....!!!
Back to the barstool, I just order one more drink
Inside, I feel ashamed,
Don't look around anymore.

Recorded by Peter de Jong (singer-songwriter, troubadour)
solo guitar, background vocals, bass.
