Der Morgen danach [English translation]

So many people see you

But no-one sees you like I do

For in the shadow of your light

Far away I sit and wait

I need you - I need your light

For from the shade I can't escape

You see me not - you know me not

But yet I love you from afar

Esteem you - worship you

Hope for you - desire you

Sense you - experience you

Accompany you - exalt you

Can't go on without you

This is the morning after

And my fallow soul lies waiting

This...

A new day is beginning

And time is tricking away

All of this I write to you

And still more would I say

If I could put down into love

All the suffering of my love

Not the message to lament

These few lines to you I send

But Just to say - I love you

Tonight these words will come to you

I pray taht you will read them through

I'll wait for you at day's first light

Wait to see your radiant light

I dream that you will see me soon

That you will kneel into the gloom

And raise me to you in the light
