Nachtschatten

In the heart of silence
In the heart of the night
How often have I wondered
Where you are right now
How often have I wondered
If love is happening to you right now

At a party - maybe in Cannes
In a club - maybe in Rome
Maybe you're spending this night all alone
In a grand hotel in Vienna

In spirit, I accompany you
And can see you like this more often
They come closer to me
The shadows from the corners
These shadows of my loneliness
They crawl from the walls
And they come to fetch me
And block my view
And the room keeps getting bigger
And I keep getting smaller in it
And the silence becomes the melody of the heart
And the longing becomes the essence of my soul
And strong is my soul
And mighty is the hope
And my longing is insatiable
Like love, tender and powerful
And it pulls me out of loneliness
Leads me to you!

And so I meet you in Cannes
And maybe already in Rome
Maybe I am the man
Who calls you when you are lonely
In the grand hotel in Vienna
