The pale moon creeps thru the window
(It's) too bright for my eyes
But I see my movie though
Let it play in reverse again
Stuff my dreams in a suitcase
(and) unpack lost wishes.
Sleeplessly, I hear you breathing loudly
And then I carefully get out of bed 1
Then I write my story
From scratch, and without any anger 2
There is a chapter about you in it 3
The curtain falls, one step forward.
And everything is illuminated
Never before was there so much light
Still asleep, I see you in the darkness
I know only one
I can't do it
(I'll) smoke one last cigarette
(And) I'll realize what I'm now searching for
Now we need an end
(I'll) say goodbye and wave at you
The morrow approaches out there 4
Where I go, there is no plan
I see a road before me
And I know it is my path
It is my path
It is my path
It is my path
For I want to see the whole world
Not just a part or a piece of it
Sooner or later, I'll end up going too far 5
I'll write you a postcard wishing you luck
Now I know our tale
Who we are, where we come from
Maybe there is still another chapter
(Or) perhaps the page still remains blank
And everything is illuminated
Never before was there so much light
Still asleep, I see you in the darkness
I know only one
I can't do it
(I'll) smoke one last cigarette
(And) I'll realize what I'm now searching for
Now we need an end
(I'll) say goodbye and wave at you
The morrow approaches out there
Where I go, there is no plan
I see a road before me
And I know it is my path
It is my path
It is my path
It is my path
(I'll) smoke one last cigarette
(And) I'll realize what I'm now searching for
(I'll) say goodbye and wave at you
Now we need an end
(I'll) say goodbye and wave at you
The morrow approaches out there
Where I go, there is no plan
I see a road before me
And I know it is my path (Never before was there so much...)
It is my path (There was never so much...)
It is my path (There was never so much...)
It is my path (There was never so much...)
Never before was there so much...
Never before was there so much...
Never before was there so much...
Never before was there so much...
Never before was there so much... LIGHT!
