Seemann

(Sailor)

Come in my boat

A storm is rising and the night is coming

Where do you want to go

Quite alone you are drifting away

Who will hold your hand when it will pull you in

Where do you want to go

So boundless the cold sea

Come in my boat

The wind of autumn keeps the sails stiff

Now you are standing by the lantern with tears in your face

The daylight falls to the side

The autumn wind sweeps empty the streets

Now you are standing by the lantern with tears in your face

The evening light chases the shadows away

Time stands still and fall is coming

Come in my boat

Yearning becomes the helmsmen

Come in my boat

The best sailor was I

Now you are standing by the lantern with tears in your face

You take the fire from the candle

Time stands still

Fall is coming

They only spoke of your mother

So merciless is only the night

In the end I'm left alone

The time stands still and I am cold

Cold

Cold

Cold

Cold
