G In Wei
Ich nehm die Nachtmaschine
fort von dir.
Die Welt will Walzer tanzen unter mir.
Du liegt allein im Dunkeln
wach und weit.
Ich trag dein Augenfunkeln
durch die Zeit.
Dreißigtausend Fuß
noch ein letzter Gruß -
dann zieh'n die Wolken Lederjacken an
mit Sternen drauf.
Was heut mit uns geschah
war größer als wir beide.
Wir stürzen in den Himmel
verwandeln und vertraut.
Was heut mit uns geschah
war größer als wir beide.
Die Landebahn in Flammen
tief unter unsrer Haut.
Mich rufen fremde Länder
doch ich bleib nicht lang.
Hör meinen leisen Sender
geh auf Empfang.
Behalt die Nacht im Auge
denk an mich.
Das kleine Licht im Anflug
das bin ich.
Can you read me ?
my dear.
Can you read me ?
Loud and clear.
Can you read me ?
I'll be there. I read you. I need you.
Was heut mit uns geschah
war größer als wir beide.
Wir fallen bis zur Sonne
wir lachen und verglühn.
Was heut mit uns geschah
war größer als wir beide.
Das Sternbild unsrer Namen
wird ewig Kreise ziehn.
