Touch Me

MELCHIOR
Where I go, when I go there
No more memory anymore
Only men on distant ships
The women with them, swimming with them, to shore

MORITZ
Where I go, when I go there
No more whispering anymore
Only hymns upon your lips
A mystic wisdom, rising with them, to shore

ERNST
Touch me - just like that
And that - o, yeah - now, that's heaven
Now, that I like
God, that's so nice
Now lower down, where the figs lie

MORITZ (Spoken)
Still, you must admit
With the two anatomies
It truly is daunting
I mean, how do I know if I…

MELCHIOR (Spoken)
Measure up?

MORITZ (Spoken)
Not that I'm saying I wouldn't
I wouldn't want to not
Wouldn't ever not want to…

MELCHIOR (Spoken)
Moritz!

MORITZ (Spoken)
I have to go!

MELCHIOR (Spoken)
Moritz! Wait!

OTTO
Where I go, when I go there
No more shadows anymore
Only men with golden fins
The rhythm in them, rocking with them, to shore

GEORG
Where I go, when I go there
No more weeping anymore
Only in and out your lips
The broken wishes, washing with them, to shore

ALL
Touch me - all silent
Tell me - please - all is forgiven
Consume my wine
Consume my mind
I'll tell you how, how the winds sigh

Touch me - just try it
Now, there - that's it - God, that's heaven
I'll love your light
I'll love you right
We'll wander down where the sins cry

Touch me - just like that
Now lower down, where the sins lie

Love me - just for a bit
We'll wander down, where's the winds sigh

Where the winds sigh
Where the winds sigh
