Fluß und Stein
Udo Jürgens
River and Stone
She took me away with her into the night
I held her in my arms
Until morning came
Then I said I'm not going yet
She tore me away from what held me
I gave what I have
But before the day
She said don't be fooled
You are a stone
I am a river
And everyone lives as they must
I'll take you away with me
Until I lose my strength
You are the stone
I am the river
And now and here I move you
But river and stone
Never be more than friends
River and stone
River and stone
She made floating so easy for me
I forgot what was
Was so close to her
And said quietly, stay there
She turned me around and set me free
But she also knew
What I really need
Is more than her tenderness
You are the stone
I am the river
And everyone lives as they must
I'll take you away with me
Until I lose my strength
You are the stone
I am the river
And now and here I move you
But can river and stone
Never be more than friends
We are only inseparable
For one night
Because when the day begins
Are we what we are again
River and stone
You are the stone
I am the river
And now and here I move you
But can river and stone
Never be more than friends
River and stone
River and stone
