Brief Encounter Songtext
von Everon

In his empty room he read that book, page by page
In search of truth, of comfort or some hope
"If you knock, my jaw will open"
But those who tried were all locked tight
Like flickering lights, bits of memories crossed his mind
Countless shattered pieces that refused to fall in place
He read out "Search for all the lost ones"
But how much more lost could he be?
He shook his fist at Heaven
Stood up for all the broken souls

I will not forget the words he spoke to me that day
And he said

"Man, if you believe, would you ask one question
In my name, ′cause to me God never speaks
Does he still rest on Sundays and look at his creation
And think it was good?"


He could barely breathe
Hardly grab just one clear thought
The walls were closing in on him, his time was running out
He read
"If you ask, you will be given"
And he thought of everything he had lost

He shook his fist at Heaven
Stood up for all the broken souls
I will not forget the words he spoke to me that day
And he said

"Man, if you believe, would you ask one question
In my name, 'cause to me God never speaks
Does he still rest on Sundays and look at his creation
And think it was good?
Does he think it was good?"

He shook his fist at Heaven
Stood up for all the broken souls
I will not forget the words he spoke to me that day
And he said
"Man, if you believe, would you ask one question
In my name, ′cause to me God never speaks
Does he still rest on Sundays and look at his creation
And think it was good?
Does he think it was good?"


It was a brief encounter, but after all these years
It's still on my mind
Nobody mourned for him, there were no flowers on his grave
I hope at last you've got your answer
And if so, would you let me know?
