From the depths
From the Depths I called to you ‘come to me’
With your return the light in my eyes shall shine once more
It’s not finished…
I will never leave the touch of your hands
That it may come and light up
With Hearing the sound of your laugh.
From the Depths I called to you ‘come to me’
The moonlight will once again light your way to me
Spread out and melted again;
The touch of your hands
I whisper gently in your ear:
Who is it that calls to you tonight? – listen
Who sings to you – calls up to your window?
Who would give his soul so you’d be happy?
Who would take his hands and build your home?
Who would give his life, lay it before you?
Who would be like the dust living at your feet?
Who would love you and all of your loves?
Who would save you from all evil?
From the Depths
From the Depths I called to you ‘come to me’
The moonlight will once again light your way to me
Spread out and melted
Against the touch of your hands
Whispering gently in your ear:
Who is it that calls to you tonight…
Who is it that calls to you tonight…
