The journey home is so long, no passers-by
Evenings fade into cold dimness
Come to comfort me already, a gloomy mind
Sneaks into the loneliness of my autumn evening
Well, darkness makes you think of that
Which wouldn't otherwise be remembered at all
Now I remember how much I wanted to do
And how little of it I achieved
Hurry, my love, if love calls
The moments of day can't be so long
Let light be turned on, night arrives soon
Autumn takes summer's flowers away
I'm looking for something that we have forgotten
And which I could find with your help
Summer is short, like an unobtainable dream
Of what could have been different
Aren't you coming soon, before I'm left in darkness
- Surely everything can't have gone to waste
If we found each other, maybe then I'd see
A way how we'll make everything bloom
Hurry, my love, if love calls
The moments of day can't be so long
Let light be turned on, night arrives soon
Autumn takes summer's flowers away
Autumn's wind takes even the memories of summer
Now you ask in vain where it takes them
I guess I now love less than before
But more than you can ever know
Now we see the lighthouses when storms rage
Foamy wind carries a voice here
- And it's most important to follow our heart's voice
And give our all to each other
Hurry, my love, if love calls
The moments of day can't be so long
Let light be turned on, night arrives soon
Autumn takes summer's flowers away
