You came over singing lullabies and then loved me twice
So pure, so in our own world, no one was ever told
So tense though affectionate, a candle on the doorstep
I was assured, come what may, you’d stay
I’ve known the elements in you, quite as good as you
Love me for a game or two!
Sing my songs again, again until the end
Then I would play the fool for you
You came over just to have it done, I couldn’t get it though
All over within six killing words: „You’re just too boring, boy!“
I know I can’t surprise you, I think I’d really like to
This I say I don’t know why
I loved to feel the elements, though feeling them meant that
Nothing’s as you say
Nothing is as you say
Nothing is as you say
Say it’s just for you
Not against me
Not against anything
Not against me
Nothing is as you say
Nothing is as you say
I know I can’t surprise you, I think I’d really like to
This I say I don’t know why
I loved to feel the elements, though feeling them meant that
Nothing’s as you say
I’ve known the elements in you, quite as good as you
Love me for a game or two!
Sing my songs again, again until the end
Then I would play the fool for you
