Deine Nähe [English translation]

What is there still to tell you

When I already have said everything

And yet cannot speak to you

What is there still to tell you

When I already have said everything

And yet none of my words reach you

In the pure ecstasy of silent hope

In the madness of blind obsession

There I stand helpless in the corner

And I only know one thing:

I love you

What is there still to tell you

When I already have said everything

When your silence resounds over my words

When my heaven is becoming narrower

What is there still to tell you

When there is nothing left

I could scream - could weep

And you wouldn't know about it

I'm alive and I love

And I don't exist for you

I dream of your closeness

Dream you are woth me

Yet I know

That you never speak to me

I beg you

Don't ignore me

Don't leave me standing alone

Not so close to you

Please look at me

Please speak to me

I beg you

When everything has been said

When there is nothing left

Then I close my eyes

And tell myself about you

About heaven and all the angels

And about your humanity

I'm talking about the power of love

And about more

Yet I know

I cannot go along this path

Can never be with you

I am a prisoner in my world

In my mediocrity

What is there still to tell you...
