I'm now only like a man,
a battered ruin, where there once was life.
A heathen whose lips
someplace, sometime,
could disappear into yours
and find salvation again.
The windpump turns,
but there's nothing,
just dust in the taps.
I need your love to quench my thirst,
because here there are only tears.
Ref.:
I'm thirsty,
I get lost in the streets where I live.
I'm thirsty,
I want to get drunk on your wine.
But here where I live
there's only saltwater and desert,
only saltwater and desert.
I'm now only like a man,
an abandoned house where there,
walls filled with togetherness,
someplace, sometime.
You were my oasis in the desert.
The windpump turns, I struggle to fall asleep.
I need your bosom to rest my head,
there are only cliffs and sand here.
Ref.:
I'm thirsty,
I get lost in the streets where I live.
I'm thirsty,
I want to get drunk on your wine.
But here where I live
there's only saltwater and desert,
only saltwater and desert.
