At the side of you my heart will freeze
And my hands long for a carress
But then you vanish into tender fog
Like sand slipping through my fingers

Your face as pale as autumn
And your eyes blacker than night
Through bars I try to hold you
When you smile I want to die

We are the straying the confused
Always lost in the crowd
Searching a whole life long
But never find each other

How often did I call you name
And how long did I wait in vain
Slowly a spear goes through my breast
Full of barbs like endless desire

Even though agony will last
And isolation begins to gnaw
You will be buried in my heart
Like a pearl in the shell

We are the straying the confused
Always lost in the crowd
Searching a whole life long
But never find each other.
