You were born under a gray sky
In Galway Bay *
I was young, so young and you
So small, so small
Ten years have already passed
At Magdalene Laundry **
Ten years that you grow without me
Far from here, far from here
Take me in Your arms
Stay at least until dawn
Oh, until dawn
I beg you, hug me
I'm never afraid of ghosts anymore
Of ghosts...
I hold a picture of us tight
In the evening to fall asleep
I think back to the hotness of your cheeks
To your smile, your smile
Oh, of course, time goes by
But not memories
Always this water in my eyes
Which flickers, which flickers
Take me in Your arms
Stay at least until dawn
Oh, until dawn
I beg you, hug me
I'm never afraid of ghosts anymore
Of ghosts...
Do you call her "mommy"
Does she stay up with you at night?
Say, do you make windmills?
(And) foolishness,foolishness ?
Stay a little here
Stay a little and hold me tight
Keep me company
I think I'm going crazy
Take me in Your arms
Stay at least until dawn
Oh, until dawn
I beg you, hug me
I'm never afraid of ghosts anymore
Of Ghosts...
