Lyrics Dieter Meier - The Ritual

Time fades away
Another hour said goodbye
The pianist stops to play
I wanna leave the bar, give it a try

I've been here every night
Hoping she would be back
The barman shuts the light
Another night I got no luck

My waiting is a ritual
I come here night for night
My being here is spiritual
The barman shuts the lights

Every night I slowly slipped
To the bar that became my crypt
The crypt of all my life
I lost my world my world above

My waiting is a ritual
I come here night for night
My being here is spiritual
The barman shuts the lights

My waiting is a ritual
I know she won't be back
But when I lose my hope
I know I lose my track

My waiting is a ritual
I know she won't be back
