The voices of children echo from the neighbouring apartment
On this side (of the wall) silence and longing are growing year by year
Like ducks from a Stenvall's painting (1)
One (of us) is awake in the striped bed sheets
How long can we dream of a lullaby?
When we are side by side
You face me and cry
Why did it go like this?
How can I make you believe?
I'll be here for eternity
I love you
Even if it's forever just the two of us
Our selective glances notice everywhere
in advertising pictures and in parks the beautiful creations of god
Maybe it's our time now, here on this familiar hallway we are waiting
Soon they'll invite us into the room, I wish they'll bless us with happiness
When we are side by side
You face me and cry
Why did it go like this?
How can I make you believe?
I'll be here for eternity
I love you
Even if it's forever just the two of us
I'll always stand by the one I love
On the Christmas dinner table I want to protect you
From their questions that hurt us
When we are side by side
You face me and cry
Why did it go like this?
How can I make you believe?
I'll be here for eternity
I love you
Even if it's forever just the two of us
