In me you see a man alone
Held by the habit of being on his own
A man who listens to the trembling of the trees
With sentimentals ease
In me you see a man alone
Behind the wall he's learned to call his home
A man who still goes walking in the rain
Expecting love again.
A man not lonely
Except when the dark comes on
A man learning to live with
Memories of midnights
That fell apart at dawn
In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Only other people's dreams.
A man learning to live with
Memories of midnights
That fell apart at dawn
In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Just other people's dreams.
the atlantic was born today and i'll tell you how:
the clouds above opened up and let it out.
i was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
when the water filled every hole.
and thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
making islands where no island should go.
oh no.
those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
i thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
the rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands
to your door have been silenced forever more.
the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
it seems farther than ever before
oh no.
i need you so much closer (x8)
i need you so much closer (x4)
so come on, come on (x4)
Und ich trag mein Herz offen
Damit jeder es sieht
Und kann nur hoffen
Du liest dieses Lied
Wie einen offenen Brief
Das all die anderen verstehen
Wir können in des anderen Augen
Uns selbst sehen
Denn da alle Liebenden
Innerlich immer noch Kind
Und da die, die reinen Herzens handeln
Unsere größten Helden sind
Rett ich die Welt
Mit Deiner Liebe in mir
Denn ich bin für Dich da
Nein ich bin wegen Dir hier
Da Dir die Fähigkeit
Zu lieben geblieben ist
Und die Kraft zu vergeben
Ein Bestandteil Deines Lebens ist
Wurde ich erweckt
Und was tief in mir schlief
Führt nun Feder
Und schreibt Dir diesen Liebesbrief
