Story Behind The Song
The song was written for a small independant movie about internet. The main character is a "Haremwanter" - a guy who is sirfing internet in search of a virtual harem - because he is affraid to be left alone if one girl would leave him. One of the women he met online is a "hippy mom" that still got stuck in the 60th when she was a "flower girl", smoking pot and having fun. Now she is a family mom and " it is boring"

Lyrics
When The Things Are Gone
Music & Lyrics By Leonid Ostrovsky a/k/a Oleo
1st Verse
When the things are gone
What we?ve got to live with
Trying to forget
Trying hard to let go
How to heal the pain
What to do with my soul
When the things are gone
Where to find the real home
Chorus
Hey, you still can fly
In your dreams?
Hey, you still can cry
For mercy?
2nd Verse
Empty days go by
Empty heart is hurting
Dwelling far behind
Missing life that?s floating (back vocal: floating by)
How to fill the void
Where to find the flower
When the tings are gone
Where to find the power
Chorus
Hey, you still can fly
In your dreams?
Hey, you still can cry
For mercy? (repeat 2 times)
