lyrics

My heart winged on the most glorious sail,
Love blew inside, the rudder was a dancer's hand,
It happened, sometimes we capsized,
But we never sank...

My heart tripped on the most beautiful sail
Love blew us oh far away from the crowd
It happened, sometimes we bailed out,
But we never sank...

A storm comes from nowhere,
Tears on my sail,
waves swallow up the horizon.
Tears in my shell,
the compass keeping its Head,
Tears on my sail, cracks my shell !

Is there anybody here ?
My heart drowns in water, for Pity's sake please
Is there anybody here ?
The boom beats me to the ropes, I lose my bearings !

My heart filled with our sun-flooded sail
We kept on course, thinking all was ok
It happened sometimes waves collide
But we never sank

A storm comes from nowhere,
Tears on my sail,
I'll remember forever
Tears in my shell,
won't dry I swear
Tears on my sail, cracks my shell !

Is there anybody here ?
My heart drowns in water, down it sinks oh please !
Is there anybody here ?
The mast is disappearing under the sea

My old field glasses looking for the shore,
A guitar is floating in the storm,
In this lifeboat I start to sing a song,
And fishermen they hear my call
Old field glasses given long ago
Promising you'd still be oh my love
But now all I can see in the storm,
A guitar and it's strings that I hold.

Oouuuuuu......, where have you gone ? The wind there, how does it blow ?
Loooooove......, where have you gone ? The sea there, how does it flow ?

Is there anybody here ?
My heart drowned in water, for pity's sake please !
Is there anybody here ?
The sail is out of breath, we're out to sea !
