Trotz All Der Zeit

In Spite of All This Time

You're so close to me
You are so trusted
[I] know your scent
Your hair, your skin
I like your form
I gladly feel you
And still you are to me
Sometimes so distant

Then it dawns on me
As we had easily
Lost each other somewhere along the way
Then a moist wind
Blows and whistles
That we, in spite of all this time
Are still two strangers

I don't know why
It happened to us
That we lose that feeling
For each other

Then it dawns on me
As we had easily
Lost each other somewhere along the way
Then a moist wind
Blows and whistles
That we, in spite of all this time,
Are still forever two strangers

I don't know where
Life carries us to,
Whether or not our way
Branches out from here

But take me once more
In your arms
Put your coat around me
And hold me warmly
If ice-cold wind--
It blows and whistles
That we, in spite of all this time,
Are still forever two strangers
