Heimatstadt Hometown
Heimatstadt (Hometown)
David J Walker
It was as if it came
Through the lines of a telephone
In a different time
In a foreign language with a
Different dial tone so familiar
Hallo –(Hello)
Wie warst du?
(How have you been)
Wann kommst du wieder nach Hause?
(When will you be home again)
A voice from Ansbach calling
A voice familiar
Without a name reminding me
Of a time away from time
Of a town still mapped in my dreams
Was it just yesterday when I thought
I was entering my room?
The door, the hall, the spaces
And familiar faces, smiling
And then the song ended
And I am in a different century
I promised I’d meet them at the gate
Many are on the other side
inviting me in
Ich werde kommen, sobald ich kann
