Where are you now

„Where are you now“ ist ein ruhiger, nachdenklicher Song über Verlust, Erinnerung und das Weitergehen. Im Mittelpunkt steht kein dramatisches Ereignis, sondern ein Gefühl: das stille Fragen nach einem Menschen, der einmal wichtig war – und heute nur noch in Gedanken mitreist.

(C) Rainer Wittmann, 2026 (Metrik: Claude.ai)

[intro – instrumental]

[verse 1]
Who knows where you’re ridin‘ now,
Old friend from my yesterdays.
Are you smilin‘ somewhere warm,
Or driftin‘ out in the rain?

[verse 2]
Maybe it’s just this gray old sky,
Or the way the years roll by —
But I swear I still feel you
Every time the wind blows through.

[chorus]
Where are you now,
Under what stars do you sleep?
I still hear your laughter
In every road I keep.
Maybe time just plays its cards,
But my heart still wears your scars.
Who knows, my friend — who knows where you are.

[verse 3]
You were the sun when the days turned cold,
A voice I still recall.
Now it’s just me and an empty glass,
Starin‘ at the wall.

[verse 4]
Maybe your life’s still tied to mine,
In some small, quiet way.
But the night without you, darlin‘,
Don’t ever fade away.

[chorus]
Where are you now,
Under what stars do you sleep?
I still hear your laughter
In every road I keep.
Maybe time just plays its cards,
But my heart still wears your scars.
Who knows, my friend — who knows where you are.

[bridge – slow, intimate]
Maybe you’ve found your heaven,
Maybe you still dream of me.
The road’s been long and hard —
And I still whisper to the dark.

[final chorus – build]
Where are you now,
Under what stars do you sleep?
Maybe you’ve found your heaven,
Maybe you still dream of me.
Maybe time just plays its cards,
But my heart still wears your scars.
Who knows, my friend — who knows where you are.

[outro – fade]
Who knows, my friend…
Who knows where you are.
