The door opens wide when you come
And my room fills with music,
The chairs chase after you so you don't stand
And my loneliness escapes from the window.
My glass serves you a wild cocktail,
The cold lips looking for yours,
My pack offers you just cigarettes,
And all of my matches light up at your touch.
Write, call even if no one lives here.
Since I know you'll disappear, you can't (handle) so much love.
Write, call even if no one lives here.
The curtains silently close when you undress
And my hanger picks up your clothes,
The lights flicker when you give yourself to me
And my bed dances a wild dance.
Red handkerchief wipes your sweat
And my black comb brushes your hair,
My watch hides in my drawer,
So that I gain some extra seconds with you
Write, call even if no one lives here.
Since I know you'll disappear, you can't (handle) so much love.
Write, call even if no one lives here.
Dew forms in my mirror when you get dressed
And a bitterness fills the room,
I sleep so that I don't see you walk away
And my loneliness walks back in from the window.
