You left behind only one small piece of you -
A fleece hat that only faintly
Smells of someone

If I would only throw it away
I know I would be able to finally
Forget all about you

You left behind only one small piece of you
But it's enough
To not be able to forget about you

If I would only throw away that fleece hat
That smells of someone
Only because I imagine it there

I know I would be able to finally
Forget all about you.

I've held that hat with ambition
To call you, to throw it away, to call you -
To throw it away.

When I threw my stare upon you
You devoured my gaze
Without a moment of apprehension

Less than a handful of brief appearances
Sometimes that's all we're ever given -
Just a few crossings of one life over another

I had no fear of judgment
When you put your hand in mine
The world all went away

No more, no more.
All that's left is an unfinished memory
Manifested in a fleece hat

If I would only throw it away
I would finally be able to forget all about you.

This is my moment of apprehension
I hold the hat with ambition -
Hoping there will be just one more crossing

But strength, oh strength!

Tomorrow I will throw it away
And forget all about you.
