German Pop Ballad
Wrote this poem in 1985 and made it a song a few years later. Recorded it today, finally.
It's about the old story of a cool guy who falls in love with a woman, but firstly doesn't show her too much feelings. Then comes the day when he changes, getting soft and emotional; yet too late... she already adopted his tough behaviour and went away, now her is the cool one.

English translation:

1.
Once I met the woman with no mask
She had a clear face
Mine she could not see
I did not show her
2.
I loved her more than my life
She has touched my heart
My love she could not see
I tied it up like a packet
3.
Time has many crinkles
Often covered in tears
Mine she could not see
I've hidden them from her
4.
Once in a morning
I don't remember the place
It must have been her magic
When my mask was begone
5.
And there was light instead of shadow
And there was healing instead of wounds
Still she could not see it anymore
She had vanished with my mask
Never found again either of them
