Fall Song

One night i will learn how to open my eyes
and then see what is there to be seen

One day i will learn how to play this piano
and play melancholic melodies

One day i will have a new word in my mouth
and i'll say it, whatever might be

One night i will learn how to fall, so apart
how to summer, and winter, and spring.

But now, all i know is
there's something i'm missing

there's something out there
i can't see;

There's a storm
that i wish
i could hear

And a fall
in the winters
of another sea.

Leben

Es gibt Tiefgründigkeit im Abgrund;
Im Sturm liegt Zärtlichkeit;
Es gibt Flüchtigkeit im Leben.

There is depth in the abyss;
There's tenderness in the storm;
There is fugacity in life.
