Het Venster

Why are you standing by the window again, trapped in beauty and pride
The night has crushed your heart once more, the shine in your eyes is hidden
Lost in tempting scents, wrapped in rags of regret
Or searching and seasick on waves, drowned in seas of time

Oh beautiful love, restless love
Oh tangled body and soul
Oh treasure of heaven, earth, and hell
Your defeat is bittersweet, I know it so well
Walk away from that eternal window

There's still room on the moon, the city lights up in the distance
The towers, you can still see them standing
And don’t lay down with your complaints
And don’t keep anyone waiting for you
But dive into your tears and jump back out
And know that I truly love you

Oh beautiful love, restless love
Oh tangled body and soul
Oh treasure of heaven, earth, and hell
Your defeat is bittersweet, I know it so well
So step away from that window now

And then place your rose in the fire
The sun will warm your room
Even now at this late hour, for the blessing won’t keep you waiting
For all who understand the blessing
The reward for lonely nights
Reveals itself to those who reach for it

Oh beautiful love, restless love
Oh tangled body and soul
Oh treasure of heaven, earth, and hell
Your defeat is bittersweet, I know it so well
