The Hill [German translation]

Walking up the hill tonight

when you have closed your eyes.

I wish I didn't have to make

all those mistakes and be wise.

Please try to be patient

and know that I'm still learning.

I'm sorry that you have to see

the strength inside me burning.

But where are you my angel now?

Don't you see me crying?

And I know that you can't do it all

but you can't say I'm not trying.

I'm on my knees in front of him

but he doesn't seem to see me.

With all his troubles on his mind

he's looking right through me.

And I'm letting myself down

By satisfying you

And I wish that you could see

that I have my troubles too.

Looking at you sleeping

I'm with the man I know.

I'm sitting here weeping

while the hours pass so slow.

And I know that in the morning

I'll have to let you go

and you'll be just a man

once I used to know.

But for these past few days

Someone I don't recognize.

This isn't all my fault.

When will you realize?

Looking at you leaving,

I'm looking for a sign
