2. DEAD SPRING (MY TIME STOOD STILL)

(Dream)Sirens sing

Their songs can’t heal

In this spring

My time stood still

Mother Earth quakes.

Naked nature awakes

I look…but see nothing

Winds touch the strings.

Storm-petrel sings

I listen…but hear nothing



Dead trees revive.

Warmth brings new life

I look…but see nothing

A gentle rain drops.

And raven croaks

I listen…but hear nothing

Can you hear my silent cry?

In the whisper of the rain

Without you, sweetheart, I will die

In solitude – I go insane



The grass is green by silver stream

I look…but see nothing

Chilled to the bone – my black cat moans

I listen…but hear nothing

She was so nice – with large blue eyes

I look…but see nothing

Cried in the night. In March – she died

Awake. I listen…but hear nothing

Can you see the shooting star?

This star is called “My Pain”

I’m all adrift – you’ re so far

My only love’s gone with the rain…
