Early the birds of passage flew Last autumn towards south Helplessly I remained There would be a long cold winter So long and cold, oh I'm tired
In sleepless nights of pure darkness Breath freezes on my wounded lips
When deepest despair filled my heart
I wandered through the snow And I felt lonely Dreary shadows drifted by me And winter took my strength away
Want to cry - Call out what you have done to me But deep inside there's nothing to see Want to flee - break out from what you have left for me But deep inside there's no aim to be
Realize the pain in me Such a fear why can't you see Look in my eyes and tell the truth You never loved me, I'm not yours!
Now thaw causes clean streams The shroud of frost melts Plants break the ground And blossoms attest natures power
I regret each day with you All deceptions and lies you have put me through Do not exhaust my essence of life You never loved me, leave me alone!
But at night there's endless mist I see the stars I once touched And blood is still dripping From my wounded lips
Late the birds of passage returned A long time ago and ice melted But there was a long cold winter So long and cold, oh I'm tired
