So Close yet so Far Lyrics

So close yet so far

Visit yourself and tell me how you feel
Always I knew what you meant but now I don't know
I see the trembling veil of your soul and tears that never dry...never dry
Woe is me - sometimes I can't sleep at all

So close - the distance still grows
And sickness, our foe, still blows

I noticed your fragile thoughts nad stars that changed their colours
We sat together so far away...so far away

Yesterday I sang a melody of autumn
In your hearse we'll rest tonight

Tränensaat am Seelengrab
Das Leben zerrinnt
Ein Tropfen im Wind
Narbenworte, Bruderpein
Ach! Wer errät mein trübes Sein?

So close...yet so far...yet so far...
