Монеточка

Updated on

In memory, the address and number have faded since then
But I recall the ads and the patterned tiles
The funny saleswoman in the sausage department
And how Vitya kissed me for the first time
How I rode the scooter and how stupidly I fell off
And how that idiot rolled toward him head over heels
I remember the bandage on the scraped skin of my elbow
And sunsets like nowhere else

I remember walking home from the movies in the drizzle
It was in Russia, so it must have been long ago
It was in Russia, so it must have been in a dream
Stealing a dream isn’t within my power, it will stay with me
I remember walking home from the movies in the drizzle
It was in Russia, so it must have been long ago
It was in Russia, so it must have been in a dream
Stealing a dream isn’t within my power, it will stay with me

And no matter what ticket I buy now
Mine is no longer there, and neither are my own
There’s no one left to meet with a sign in hand
And now they sing there in a different language
It’s so unattainable, it’s pointless for us to wait
All the locks are open, but the main one is sealed
I don’t pity the neighbors, I don’t want to, but
I hope not to forget my blurry dream along the way

I remember walking home from the movies in the drizzle
It was in Russia, so it must have been long ago
It was in Russia, so it must have been in a dream
Stealing a dream isn’t within my power, it will stay with me
I remember walking home from the movies in the drizzle
It was in Russia, so it must have been long ago
It was in Russia, so it must have been in a dream
Stealing a dream isn’t within my power, it will stay with me

The address and number have faded from memory since then
But I remember the ads and the patterned tiles
The funny saleswoman in the sausage department
And how Vitya kissed me for the first time
The address and number have faded from memory since then
But I remember the ads and the patterned tiles
The funny saleswoman in the sausage department
And how Vitya kissed me for the first time
The address and number have faded from memory since then
But I remember the ads and the patterned tiles
The funny saleswoman in the sausage department
And how Vitya kissed me…
