Meine Fremde Seele

LETRA

Meine Fremde Seele

My foreign soul, you’ve been travelling so long
Was there a beginning to the journey you’re on?
Where have you come from? Where have you been?
Tell me a tale of the things you have seen

I’ve been looking for answers, looking far and wide
I’ve been looking for answers on the other side
All that is glistening, it isn’t gold
Looking for truth beyond the lies we’ve been told

All the King’s horses and all the King’s men
Couldn’t begin to put things right again
Where tenderness is, that’s where I’m bound
Something so deep, so rich, profound

I am skin
With blood and bone and pain and joy within
And something more
That can’t be bought or sold, abide or follow any law

I’ve walked the curve of the earth below and above
Been turned to ash in the fire of love
I’ve burned like a flame in the blackest of nights
Fallen so far from the highest of heights
But my foreign soul’s risen again

Been cleansed and soothed in the Berlin rain
Deceit from those closest is a cold surprise
Found so much warmth in a strangers eyes
And so I must travel and so I must roam

There is no such place as a place to call home
Where tenderness that’s where I’m bound
Somewhere so deep, so rich, profound.
