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
As I remember the one on yours.
