Ein Träumer

Shield my heart

Guard my soul

Bind me in lust

And pleasure’s desire

Shower my being in sensual sin

Yet promise

Let me not fall

Or surrender

Between the darkness

And dawn

If there is no time

And no connection

To a future

And a past

Nothing lasts

Forever

Except a memory

Or regret

Of wanting nothing

More than everything

I know

I cannot grasp or hold on to

As my own

Shield my heart

Guard my soul

Bind me in lust

And pleasure’s desire

Shower my being in sensual sin

Yet promise

Let me not fall

Or surrender

Between the darkness

And dawn

If there is no time

And no connection

To a future

And a past

Nothing lasts

Forever

Except a memory

Or regret

Of wanting nothing

More than everything

I know

I cannot grasp or hold on to

As my own
