Die Flut (feat. Joachim Witt)
Peter Heppner
The Flood (feat. Joachim Witt)
When I feel no peace inside me
Bitterness washes over my dark heart
I wait for the next day
To wake me up
When darkness hides my clear view
No sense can still a longing
I call to me
The one dream
That will never come true
And you call into the night
And you plead for a miracle
For a better world to live in
But there won’t be another one
[Chorus]
When will the flood
Come over me
When will the flood
Touch me
When will the flood
Take me away
To another big life
Somewhere
All the time flies by so fast
Every trace of me just turns to dust
Endlessly driven
By an invisible hand
Is there not up there in the cold sky
A star that burns just for me
A dull glow
Like a fire in the night
That never fades
And you look up to the sky
Cursing the stubborn passage of time
You make a world of illusion and pretense
But there won’t be another one
[Chorus]
When will the flood
Come over me
When will the flood
Touch me
When will the flood
Take me away
To another big life
Somewhere
And you call out to the world
That you no longer like it
You want to experience a prettier one
But there won’t be another one
When will the flood...
