Leaving
Seelenkrank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are naked in a black lake
Your white skin shines like a cloud
On the blue and lovely sky
The room is dark and here is the candlelight
It shimmers all through the darkness
My shivering hand touches your cold skin
Why are you leaving?
I close your eyes with my lips
You are laying naked in a black lake
Your white skin shines like a cloud
On the blue and lovely sky
I close your eyes with my lips
My tears are falling on your skin
And as they dry I feel an end
I leave the room into the night
