Fernweh Lyrics


I ride in the night

In pursuit of a new life

There is no hope in sight

So I leave it all behind

I yearn for freedom to roam

Beyond the world I know

And as the rivers flow

I wish to become unknown

Time is galloping

How will I remember these years

To ease the pain I’m traveling

With the weight of 25 years

I yearn for freedom to roam

Beyond the world I know

In building a new home

I will restore my dying soul

I ride in the night

In pursuit of a new life

There is no hope in sight

Here linger memories

Like ghosts they keep on haunting me

Forsaken by those with envy

A better life lies across the sea

Away from the man I used to be
