Engel der Melancholie

Somehow after the applause
Does the world sometimes seem narrow to me?
All headlights already off
Feel lonely in the crowd

Tired, burned out and empty
Shine and glitter fade
My goodness, I'm looking for more
Wants to embrace happiness like a dream

And then brushes me with icy wings
The one I love to escape
My angel of melancholy
My angel of melancholy

Rest of gin and tonic still in the glass
Still taste kisses on your lips
And I wonder was that it
Is that enough to freak out
Fame fades wherever I look
I want more and get the sky
Bluer than the most beautiful blue
Right in the middle of the world

And the angel takes me gently in his arms
The melancholy becomes melody
My angel of melancholy
My angel of melancholy

Love that will soon melt away, being lonely, longing for you
But even such shards are fragments of the perfect beauty

Infinity is short when we caress each other
Firelight on the beach of time still too far to feel it fully

And the angel flies back into the darkness
And whisper never despair
My angel of melancholy
My angel of melancholy
