Der Wind

The wind has no home anywhere
It knows the whole earth and the sea
It carries the heaviest scents and the lightest perfume
On its empty hands

The wind knows everything about you and me
And it pretends to know what will remain
The wind has no clue about love

The river is home everywhere
The ships and the fish need it
Its water knows the way by day and by night
And under the full moon, it flows a bit faster

The water knows everything about you and me
And it pretends to know what will remain
The river has no clue about love

Time makes a big mistake
It has to keep going and takes us along
It beats a rhythm and your heart keeps time
Then all the feelings start to dance

Time knows everything about you and me
And it pretends to know what will remain
Time has no clue about love

The world has spies everywhere
The empty coffee cup and the gin
It spins around life and flies away with it
When night falls or morning comes

The world knows everything about you and me
And it pretends to know what will remain
The world has no clue about love
