In the mornings I always seek your warmth / And the afternoons never pass just like that / In the evenings you want to dance and explain the world / And the night seems brighter when making love to you
I know the clock's hand keeps turning
I know it will never get different
I know one can't halt time
But we do what we can
In spring you bring arms full of flowers
In summer no day is too long for you
And in winter it makes you laugh
When, wet with rain,
We drop our clothes in the hallway
I know the clock's hand keeps turning
I know it will never get different
I know one can't halt time
But we do what we can
I know - we are people
And sometimes the ticking clock frightens me / And I hope it will take a long time
And till that time I'll be longing, longing, longing, longing
You know the clock's hand keeps turning
You know it will never get different
You know you can't halt time
But we do what we can
You know, you know
You know you can't halt time
But we do what we can
