Sibylle Baier - The end



it's the end, friend of mine
it's the end, friend of mine

time is over where we could simply say I love you
now you opened the door
leave me crying
trying to embrace you again
trying to face this damn situation man
I can't
It's the end, friend of mine
It's the end, sweet friend of mine

dear friend, I cannot tell the reasons why we started well
good time, give me some wine when you open the door
you seem hurt, don't try to speak a word to me
what on earth could really go wrong with you and me?
yet its the end, friend of mine
it's the end, sweet friend of mine

time seems to be over where we could simply say I love you
now you opened the door
I feel cold
why can't I hold you in my arms
told you that life is short but love is old
it's the end, friend of mine
it's the end, sweet friend.

      Sibylle Baier is a German folk singer and actress whose musical abilities achieved belated recognition with the 2006 release of the album Colour Green, compiled from songs she had recorded in the early 1970s. Having played the guitar and piano as a young girl, she was moved to write her first song, Remember the day, after taking a road trip with a friend across the Alps to Genoa, via Strasbourg.
      She appeared in Wim Wenders' 1973 film Alice in the Cities, and her music is also featured in Umarmungen und andere Sachen, from 1975, and in Wim Wenders' Palermo Shooting, 2008. Baier opted not to pursue an acting or singing career, and eventually moved to America, where she concentrated on bringing up a family.
      The songs that went on to make up her album Colour Green were home reel-to-reel tape recordings Baier had made in Germany between 1970 and 1973. Some 30 years later, her son Robby compiled a CD from these recordings to give to family members as presents. He also gave a copy to Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis, who in turn passed it along to the Orange Twin label. Orange Twin released the album in February 2006. She is expected to release a second studio album.
