Lighthouses

Roads, these roads are clad in smoke Your talks are drifting past like trains - they scarcely stop Now I'm gone astray in here Where tired walls are chattering...... Don't stay! Don't stay! ... and all the ones around me are fainting shapes again Fear has shut away your dreams You walk towards a smokescreen, fretful tool I start to sing a song about the cat with the silvery paws She plays with starry blades of grass and dreams her little life away I wonder where I am - under the snow in a sunday cloak But you just say I'd think too much Maybe you're right - who will ever know?

Tell me how long I've been waiting for a wake-up call late in the evening Tell me where I've been so many times Close to the distance here in my sleeping room ... ... I'm freezing ... here Tell me why the ghosts always frighten me Back to the caves of my childhood I ever run ... but still I'm freezing ... Wake me up in the evening When landscapes are covered with a dark blue film Wake me up in the evening When noises scream and shivers rise Moving little nightmares Rumours of shivering cries and a minor road swirling and creeping towards its slow end!

O, how I'm longing for you But I know, your heart goes for the blue O, so hard to let you flow Into the sea, your window is closed for me Leave the man on the lighthouse mountain He never fell in love He don't know he could miss a woman's glowing kiss O, how I'm longing for blue But I feel, there's something completely new O, my heart is trembling shy I doubt again, but I must say goodbye Leave the man on the lighthouse mountain He never felt her tender breath His helpless eyes, they do not miss Just staring through the ocean's bliss

Years ago I saw a waveless ocean Far and great, beyond everything I knew Nights were glowing, the days too long For a young man's dreamland and his fancy-song We lay together on summer-meadow islands Amazing eyes turned towards the oldest silence We tried to catch a glimpse of our past Our primal sea, so deep and vast All I know, a black hole's coming closer Hold me on, I fear the nightmare's drowning me If I dreamed of my most precious moment I would point at the sparkling waveless ocean All I know, a black hole's coming closer Hold me on, I fear the nightmare's drowning hand All I knew, a fever burned within me Hold me on, I hope it never comes again
