I�M MISSING YOU

To tell you that I miss you much �

Is to tell nothing.

I fly to you as a gull over the sea,

I run to you by the waves of wind.

Here in the dungeon I gasp for my breath

I close my eyes � and what do I see?

I see almost everybody�s face

But yours is out of reach for me.

To tell you that I miss you much �

I would, but if I only could

I�ll smoke heavily and drink much tea,

Just to forget and choke up my wrench.

And not to touch you with my thought through space

I�ll work too hard, so that I�m never free,

I will be seeing everybody�s face

But yours will be still out of reach for me.

Oh, I do miss you so much!

Inside myself I roar in despair,

I crash the mountains in my mind,

I tear the stars off the sky.

But nothing will disturb my pace

I won�t be coming out of the blue

I will be seeing everybody�s face

And will somehow forget about you.
