Slipping into the bottomless mist
I whisper to you for the twentieth time
That we shouldn't break up
But we cannot be together
I reached out my hand to your face
And you happened to respond
I took for myself someone else's youth
I feel hurt and sad in my soul
Remembering every woman's name
I drive your name away from my heart
You are my wife for one night
The night around us is stolen
Alas, my beauty,
Dawn waves into the windows
At home your family waits you
What's to be done with our love?
Your eyes swim with mist
And you cannot stem your tears
We entered into this deceit together
But we must leave it separately
Do not hide your eyes, my beauty
We are both to blame
Your tears, my tears...
Now it is our day of reckoning.
Remembering every woman's name
I drive your name away from my heart
You are my wife for one night
The night around us is stolen
Alas, my beauty,
Dawn waves into the windows
At home your family waits you
What's to be done with our love?
Good bye, my beauty!
Dawn waves into the windows
At home your family waits you
What's to be done with our love?
