From across this grey land...

(Dead but dreaming)

Where is this love, this endless love you told me a thousand times before?
Where is yet this love, this always forever-called love that can heal all wounds?
Now, just tell me straight into my weeping face, where is it gone – this love?

You turned and looked away.
You stood there shrouded in the misty gloom of a new morning.
The silence between us appears suddenly as strong
as the castle-walls on this brand new morning.
You just stood there like a motionless rock in the breaking waves.

And now you can’t answer me! Now you won’t listen to me!
So only now you closed forever your shiny eyes!

But now you leave me alone in this pain!
now everything is falling apart!
now …
now only tears are left!
And only tears are left
