[Verse 1]
The wild years, oh so many
I've already lived without you
And all the songs I play
Still only tell of you
On every adventure journey
Where I've painfully missed you
I've asked myself, sometimes aloud, sometimes softly
Why did you go away back then?
And where [did you go]?
And where?
[Chorus]
But as long as your blood flows through my veins
You'll be very close to me
And as long as the stars follow their paths
You'll be very close to me
And when the embers of my life die out
I'll look back without fear
For you were with me
In every moment
[Verse 2]
No matter which way I choose
You always drive me onward
Like storm and wind in white sails
Full speed ahead - and someday
When Lord Death touches me
It'll all make sense
For when the fire deep inside me goes out
My pain will also finally be gone
Gone at last
Gone at last
[Chorus]
But as long as your blood flows through my veins
You'll be very close to me
And as long as the stars follow their paths
You'll be very close to me
And when the embers of my life die out
I'll look back without fear
For you were with me
In every moment
[Chorus]
But as long as your blood flows through my veins
You'll be very close to me
And as long as the stars follow their paths
You'll be very close to me
And when the embers of my life die out
I'll look back without fear
For you were with me
In every moment
In every moment
