Song for Sebastian

Sebastian
son of a man
who was a brother to me.

How strange
that I should love you
love your sisters too.

Knowing I will never hold you
is another reason less to live.

Sebastian
son of a man
who was a brother to me.

The night of your death
the light of my life ceased to be.

Young man and pregnant wife
killed in a crash.
That's what the headline said.
Through my conscience spooks the knowledge:
'All those I love are dead.'

Sebastian
son of a man
who was a brother to me.
And I cannot cry yet
fearing that tears will make you really dead.

Sebastian
son of a man
who was a brother to me.

How shall I live on,
in a world where you will never be.
How shall I live on,
when all the love is dead in me.
