Lament
Werner Müller and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Though I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But, nevertheless, why stir up memories?

Been invited on dates
Might have gone, but what for?




Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Line by Line Meaning

Missed the Saturday dance
I didn't attend the Saturday dance


Heard they crowded the floor
I heard that the dance floor was full


Couldn't bear it without you
I couldn't handle going without you


Don't get around much anymore
I don't go out much these days


Though I'd visit the club
I thought about going to the club


Got as far as the door
I only made it to the entrance


They'd have asked me about you
People would have asked me where you were


Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
I feel more relaxed now, my dear


But, nevertheless, why stir up memories?
But why bring up old memories?


Been invited on dates
I have been asked out on dates


Might have gone, but what for?
I might have gone, but there's no point


Awfully different without you
It's so different without you


Don't get around much anymore
I really don't go out much anymore
