It's winter again, for years it reigns,
And angels took off to the South.
We too will take flight, you'll fly to sunrise,
And I, as it seems, otherwise.
CHORUS:
But I will take off again,
Like a dog from a chain,
To get up to the clouds.
And I will walk in the cloud,
My land far and enshrouded,
But there I'll find you around.
Oh, the cardboard wings...
They are wings of love's game.
An oar and water, like power and burden,
What else there to do? And whose fault?
This nonsense shall pass, you flee to sunrise,
And I, let it be, otherwise.
CHORUS [x2]
