you soar up into the sky here up high you see for miles but you´re only whispering "bring it back, bring it back to me" for hundreds of years you can hear the ocean roar but the ship with your love on board was never seen at the end of the line there were not so many times and all of this because of a promise so you´re standing here all night fighting against the tides and storms you flash your yellow light you won´t keep your eyes from the ocean..

you once sended me a postcard from your trip in Paris there was a bunch of soldiers - sitting in ruins back in 1812 in Moscow the russians burned their city down to stop napoleon from taking their homes the smell of smoke an iron was lingering in the air and the night sky slipped into its dress of sanguine was it really worth it, mr. bonaparte? when you saw those bodys lying in the dirt weren´t you one of them.. are you one of them..

Slow Down 06:03
the city is mourning for the summer I really want us to leave here they say: "you cannot be alone" but nowadays I´m feeling stucked love, please take me down to the water I´m afraid I´ll never get it right follow the traces of the golden wonder! it leads us to places we´ve never been I like to understand how this is going it seems like all these trees are burning love, please take me dow to the water I´m afraid I´ll never get it right you know how much days there are in autumn let´s escape and slow down for a while I´m standing by the river where the salmons swim upstream I washed my hands in cold water so that they are clean again and taking all my courage I wade into the stream if I´ll ever reach the shore I will build a house for our own sake love, please take me dow to the water I´m afraid I´ll never get it right you know how much days there are in autumn let´s escape and slow down for a while

Aquiver and with lots of hope the train left the station and the air filled with smoke she´s watching the landscape while she´s wondering which adventures she will take So leave all this behind you there´s plenty more you have to see and don´t be worried about us we´ll be waiting here At flea markets and cheap hostels she´s on the search for postcards and what kinda person she is In eternal cities, all on her own there´s nothing to be ashamed of if you´re feeling left alone So leave all this behind you there´s plenty more you have to see and don´t be worried about us we´ll be waiting here

in the old woods of Birnam amongst black oaks there lies a wooden heart she comes from a city which never falls asleep but today she plans her escape she runs through the forest leaves foxes behind she´s trying to find what she lost her eyes are wide-open she spreads her wings she takes off to watch stars collide all time she thought she´ll gonna die and that she´ll never see how it ends but sometimes it isn´t meant to be so take your wooden heart and leave.. and she runs for miles.. till she reaches the northern shore at dawn: the atlantic ocean she tosses it into the flood and no one ever saw her again.
