On a yellow morning
On a morning like this
when my room is dead
when my window is nothing but a blind eye
the clothes I'm wearing are so worn
and the pencil is dull, short
the scribbles are feeble
so many times I disappointed myself
too many times I disappointed everyone else
too many times I took life for granted, as a cheap birth-gift
refrain:
Now snow is covering the neighborhood,
the Bird of Death waddles into the stream
Slowly the village is crumbling
around the churchyard
In the corridors the wind forces its way
through the jacket onto my skin
Rests its weak head, searching for strength
Dry unread newspapers
rustle under my feet
when I wander through my emptiness
through the empty city
the letters are so confused
that they believe to be words
that's the only reason they are
next to each other in the songs
refrain x 2
