Ek weet nie meer of ek jou hieruit gaan kan sien nie
Sal ek ooit genoeg geld kan verdien
Die nag is koud
In die winter (2x)

Toe ek jou gesien het vir die eerste keer
Leja
Ek kan nie meer onthou hoe dit gevoel het nie
Die paaie bly nat
In die winter

In jou ma se oë
Ons was tieners
Ons kon glo in die dinge daarbo
In jou ma se oë
Wou ek sien en wou ek glo

Maar tye het verander
En ons raak nie jonger nie
Ek kan nie eers meer byhou nie
Ons laaste avondsdrome versprei soos waterstrome
Op die gras (2x)

Leja
Sit dit vas
Soos dit was (2x)
Dan sal ons kan
Leja

Maar jy's nou net die pen op 'n servet
Wat ek al weer, al weer iewers moes vergeet het

Die onoorspronklikheid
Nes afgeleide selfverwyt
Het ek myself hier uit
Uit hierdie storie uitgeskryf

In jou ma se oë
Ons was tieners
Ons kon glo in die dinge daarbo
In jou ma se oë
Wou ek sien en wou ek glo

Maar tye het verander
En ons raak nie jonger nie
Ek kan nie eers meer byhou nie
Ons laaste avondsdrome versprei soos waterstrome
Op die gras (2x)

Leja
Sit dit vas
Soos dit was (2x)
Ek kan nie eers meer byhou nie

Leja
Sit dit vas
Soos dit was (2x)
Dan sal ons kan

I don't know anymore if I'll be able to see you this through
Will I ever be able to earn enough money
The night is cold
In the winter

When I saw you for the first time
Leja
I can no longer remember how it felt
The roads stay wet
In the winter

In your mother's eyes
We were teenagers
We could believe in the things up there
In your mother's eyes
I wanted to see and I wanted to believe

But times have changed
And we aren't getting younger
I can't even keep up with it anymore
Our last nightly dreams scattered like water streams
On the grass

Leja
Fasten it
The way it was
Then we will be able to
Leja

But now you're just the pen on a napkin
Which I must have forgotten somewhere again

The unoriginality
Just like derivative self-reproach
I wrote myself out
Out of this story

In your mother's eyes
We were teenagers
We could believe in the things up there
In your mother's eyes
I wanted to see and I wanted to believe

But times have changed
And we aren't getting younger
I can't even keep up with it anymore
Our last nightly dreams scattered like water streams
On the grass

Leja
Fasten it
The way it was
I can't even keep up with it anymore

Leja
Fasten it
The way it was
Then we will be able to
