Down in the gutter of broken hearts I lie
in 8 months time died the love of my life
Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that
you crept away like a thief in the night?

And I'm standing on top of a mountain
Crying bereavement to the stars
Will I make my way without you?
Will I ever get over you?

Oh, this room: it seems so strange now
cause your laughter still echoes inside
Withered roses will never bloom again
Carry my weight: Those memories of you!

Once I felt that you loved me
These days are over, now we're through
Our secret garden lost forever
I never thought you could be that cruel
In cold blood you walked away!

I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile
Dream-like strains wake me up at night
The memory of her presence faded long ago
like a vanished trail of smoke

I try in vain to recollect the time
of a love that we once shared
Fragments of her voice come haunting me at night
How I wished I could turn back time

Her name once written down in my diary
now frozen between the lines
Gone like last winters frostwork on the window-pane
Will I ever understand?

Still there's a shadow on the shadow of her smile
Gates of time can never be crossed twice
The frostwork of our love melted all away
but when we die our songs remain!

And comes the winter of our lives
we're trying to keep us warm
with the ashes of our fading memories
Once frostwork's fallen on the ground
You can never bring it back
Its melting without sound

Nights are so cold and empty without you
Still your scent lingers on in my room
Trying to set sails for a new horizon
Trying to keep the candle alight!

Still I'm standing on top of the mountain
with my soul floating to the stars
Songs of love and loss while the night
of this new moon does conceal
my bleeding heart!

No regrets - I won't look back in anger
Even if it's so hard to forget
Will I survive yet another dark winter
till snow will melt and rivers do flow?

And our time did not last forever
Though our love it seemed so pure
While I face the light of a new day
Hope these memories fade away
How I wished they'd fade away!

Take me down to the sea
Take me to my last resort d'Amour
Take me down to the sea
Down there my lover's waiting
She has come for our last rendez-vous
Singing, dancing, dreaming
Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry
Drowning in the waves of love that never dies
