Als jij er niet meer bent
Wil ik de wereld overtrekken
En zal ik een ander kind verwekken
Dat niet op het onze lijkt, minder verwend
Waar ik harder voor moet werken
Zodat ik nauwelijks zal merken
Dat jij er niet meer bent
Als ik dan langs het huis loop
Waar we lang en innig samen waren
En zonder schaamte deelden lach en traan
Zal ik een tel, met een glimlach
Terugverlangen naar die wilde jaren
Dan snel als een betrapte hoereloper verder gaan
Als jij er niet meer bent
Zal ik je blijven schrijven
Het cliche wil dat we vrienden blijven
Totdat jij mijn handschrift niet meer kent
Probeer me maar niet te begrijpen
Ik kan alleen maar verder rijpen
Als jij er niet meer bent
Als ik dan bij toeval zie
Hoe je je door hem laat amuseren
Beken ik nederig: dat doet me zeer
Zonder enkele behoefte
Ook maar een dag terug te willen keren
Denk ik dat ik dan gerust stellen mag; wij hadden meer
Als jij er niet meer bent
Dan kan ik niemand worden
Jij was mijn klem, mijn laatste horde
De rem op weg naar transcendent
Pas als jij niet meer van mij wilt weten
Kan ik het zonder pijn vergeten
Omdat ik zonder jou niets ben
