Klabautamann - When I Long for Life lyrics

A sky painted in the scarlet bends over me I remember, I still feel the greatness The enchanting plain, cloaked in silence Walk the dim lane that bears so many memories As trees sway in hazy dusk Past landscapes devoured by darkness Oh, this wistful atmosphere grasps my heart When I touch transient rapture When I long for life I shield myself for some blithe days and peaceful reverie But yet, sorrow is unrelenting and it recurs My tears fall for you - mother earth My tears fall for you Our anguish is divine love For the loss of eternal life A life in mayhem Calm my fear in soothing dreams And long promenades As I watch how the birds leave To forget all the painful knowledge Just for once
