Your Blue Eyes/Deine blauen Augen

A light smile traces my lips

As I remember the one on yours.

Yet a gray cloud hovers over me

And sheds the first raindrop

I recall every second of our war

The scars we drew on flesh

And rain poured down

Shading us in a curtain

Behind which we hid too well

And watched the sky break

My heart was skating on thin ice

I tripped and let it fall

And fall and fall it did

My cheeks flushed red

As though everybody was watching

But it was a mirage in the rain

I made myself slip on that ice

But you helped me up

Put water on my bruises

Healed me without any question

In sickness and in health

For better or for worse

We never fixed you

Wrapped in the curtain of rain

You dragged my shackles with you

Because I was the weaker one

It was not the end of the war

Just the first battle

I felt like we were running a marathon

It had no end, no start

A winding journey into the unknown

I lost you along the way

I was slower, couldn’t run anymore

And you left with your curtain of rain

A shooting star!

Quick, make a wish!

A brief dance to Sunshine Reggae

But the summer always says goodbye

We pulled out the chains, the big guns

And I was left lying in the dark

Kicking the air

Stomach churning like a storm

Limbs tied to a rock

It keeps pulling me under

My eyes blindfolded in a black cloud

A vicious cycle lasting three moons

My silver thread is slipping

I swing my arms in the air

Hoping to catch the end

I am scared – more than ever

And I tumble again

And I break your last vines

I tore apart your only wound

A scar you loved so dearly

I poured salt in it

All we can do is to wait

Maybe the sun will shine again

Or maybe a cold winter moon

Grim is the air around me

Red the glow in my eyes

What is that howling I hear?

A lone wolf treading close by

And I fall asleep

Again and again

But sleep is an escape

Not the cure I await

Sleepless my nights shall be

A reward for treason
