Wenn ich nach hause komm'

Light and shadow dance tenderly arm in arm
My yesterday and my today go hand in hand
Memory plays cops and robbers
And the feeling is more powerful than the mind

Are you as awake as I am
I look at your photo in silence
Your gaze that reads my soul
Who can no longer sleep
Your look that silently asks
Where do you want to go where can I find you
I don't know I don't know

When this path ends
And when I no longer have to search
Because you are the distant goal on my road
The way to you leads through me
The way to me leads through you
If my desires are neither excessive nor pious
Then a light burns for me
When I come home

Then a light burns for me
When I come home

Those who are restless are rarely rewarded with happiness
But every escape brings me closer to you
I have lived in every foreign city
And cold is every pillow I feel

Like a sea in a storm that cannot find peace
When will I stop running away from myself?
When do I start
Where are you waiting for me
Where can I find you, where is the light
I don't know it
I don't know it

When this path ends
And when I no longer have to search
Because you are the distant goal on my road
The way to you leads through me
The way to me leads through you
If my desires are neither excessive nor pious
Then a light burns for me
When I come home
Then a light burns for me
When I come home
