Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name
I met her on the eve of my birthday
Did she know, did she know, before she went away, does she know? But it's too darn late

This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone

All I have now is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name
I didn't know, I didn't know, before she went away
I know now, I know now, and it's too darn late

Will she ever find her way?
I'm too darn young to be too late, but am I?
Yet again I'm kicking myself
And I'll be here in battle scars
Waiting for you
Waiting for you now
