The familiar noises of the night are in my ears,
Its drunkard curses,
Its police sirens,
Its tearful vagabonds who wander all drunk
Its whores who would never kiss on the lips
Are you far away? Are you near?
Might you be awake?
From this dreadful loneliness
Only you could save me.
Are you far away? Are you near?
Might you be awake?
On the nightshift,
Wouldn't you accompany me?
Only if a rain washes the whole city tonight
Drags me along the streets
The stray dogs should tear me apart
For the garbage trucks to collect
Are you far away? Are you near?
Might you be awake?
From this dreadful loneliness
Only you could save me.
Are you far away? Are you near?
Might you be awake?
On the nightshift,
Wouldn't you accompany me?
