Die Zeit der Zärtlichkeit

The time of tenderness
Started before summer ended
Autumn seemed so far away
Although the leaves were already catching fire

Across the sky was
A spider web of light stretched
I held it tight for you
With the bare hand

The time of tenderness
Shined through every day gently
With a sadness
That makes every smile important

And every drop of time
Drew circles on the quiet lake
You felt like me
That I'll be leaving soon

It was like a fifth season
The time of tenderness

The time of tenderness
Came unexpectedly and unplanned
Borrowed Eternity
For many a spring day

I have protected myself from the world
Rested in your eyes
What I felt with you
Gives me courage today

It was like a fifth season
The time of tenderness

The time of tenderness
Was like a newly discovered space
She was reality
And everything else is a dream

Winter is over
And then a new year begins
If you don't forget me
Will the premonition come true

Then comes like a fifth season
The time of tenderness
