Brandenburg Lyrics

send me now, the winter's over
a light turns out, the winds are colder
the love we've had will turn all over
going south and we are older (?)

on the one... (???)
on a night like this you all turn around
no but i, i won't hold you anymore
no and i, i can't have you anymore (?)

and some days we're all alone
on the banks of the rhine
and some days all we have... (?)
(???)
and some days we're all alone
on the banks of the rhine

i think the second questionmark set is "on the one tightrope you waltz now" and the fifth starts off with "the salt and sea brings us there" but i can't make out any of the rest.

I think it's "on a night like this you walked around" and "the salt and sea brings us there and shows us how to survive". I'd like to hear that, at least.

the first questionmarked line looks/sounds right. the second is definitely "on the one tightrope you waltz now". the third is right. and i cant makes sense of the others.

thanks, these lyrics have been really helpful. i think the second line should be "a light turns out as we grow colder", though.

"some days all we had was our parents wine the salt of the sea brings us near, shows us whats divine." this is based on his black session live recording in paris.

ok the "near" might be here. also, the second ??? is "on the one tightrope you walk now."

The song goes

"send me now, the winter's over a light turns out, the winds are colder the love we've had will turn all over going south and we are older

on the one time I told you also on a night like this you all turn around no but i, i won't hold you anymore no and i, i can't have you anymore, my dear

and some days we're all alone on the banks of the rhine and some days all we have was worth while and some sing dreams of spears chosen once in life and some days we're all alone on the banks of the rhine"

Hope that makes some sense.

this is the right line for the second one "on the one tightrope you waltz now"

the other one suggested doesn't even sound accurate.

I don't understand how I am one of the few people who is absolutely in love with this song. It's in my opinion Zach's best. You can picture a story when you hear this song, and it's just so amazing.
