It used to be so easy
To talk to you, to be with you
When we spent nights under the moonlight
So invincible as one
But now you can’t accept life’s going on
And invent your younger self
Now I am afraid of standing here …

The bridge is high, the river is low
The sun is shining on my face
But a stormy breeze roughs up my hair
The more I wanna get closer
The further you step away from me
I see the fish swim together
While you’re not next to me

It used to be so easy
To live with you, to feel the same
A cottage by the sea shore
Was our dream since we were young
But now you want life to be changed
And invent your younger self

Now I am afraid of standing here …

The bridge is high, the river is low
The sun is shining on my face
But a stormy breeze roughs up my hair
The more I wanna get closer
The further you step away from me
I see the fish swim together
While you’re not next to me

The colours of our togetherness
(bleached out and)
turned into black and white
You took the white around your neck
And left me alone wrapped in black

The bridge is high, the river is low
The sun is shining on my face
But a stormy breeze roughs up my hair
The more I wanna get closer
The further you step away from me
I see the fish swim together
While you’re not next to me

It took me long to find out
That we have lost sight of the fact
Every fish longs for the fountain
To be enfolded in a soul
We should have heard the moonlight serenade
Showing the way to the sea

Now I am afraid of standing here …

The bridge is high, the river is low
The sun is shining on my face
But a stormy breeze roughs up my hair
The more I wanna get closer
The further you step away from me
I see the fish swim together
While you’re not next to me
