Deine Spuren Im Sand

We had sun and stars
and only the dunes and the vast sea.
And it felt to me as if time
was firmly in my hands.

It was just us two for me,
I knew I had you.
How simple and clear everything was.

Your traces in the sand,
that I found yesterday,
have been taken by the tide,
what now belongs to me?
Your love faded away,
like the traces in the sand,
what is left for me,
only the longing for you.

I don't know when you started
walking along the beach without me
and when I asked you about it,
you just looked past me in silence.

Until one understands the whole truth
it is often too late.
Here I am now, what can I do.

Your traces in the sand...
