Alone in the whirling crowd
I felt you come near
Everyone cried so loud
that I hardly could hear
when you whispered to me:
“Go with me, I'm going home"
Suddenly I thought I knew you
But I can tell you
you and I will never fly together
I wanted to hold your hand
to make you feel good
I wanted to understand
as much as I could
And out into the night, babe
you took me where we had to go
And all was winterwhite
But I can tell you, baby
you and I will never fly together
I didn't know any answers
and I'd forgotten everything I'd heard
And you didn't have
any questions to ask
and so we walked along without a word
But then you began to speak
as the night went away
You said that the sky was green
and I was afraid
to loose what we had in common
I whished I hadn't heard you right
I felt that your hand was gone
when I was groping to get near you
And when you pointed to a place
I've never known
and said, we're home
I finally conceived
what I'd refused to believe:
everybody has to go searching
on their own
And so I must say goodbye
I have to go on
But out in the lonely nights
I know have to come
I´ll often think about you
(My memory never lets me down)
But I have to go without you
‘cause I can tell you
you and I will never fly together
