Come in my boat a storm is rising / and the night is coming Where do you want to go quite alone / you are drifting away Who will hold your hand when it pulls / you downward Where do you want to go So boundless / the cold sea Come in my boat The wind of autumn / keeps the sails stiff Now you are standing by the lantern with tears in your eyes The daylight falls to the side The evening light sweeps empty the streets Come in my boat Yearning becomes / the helmsmen Come in my boat The best sailor / yet was I Now you are standing by the lantern with tears in your face You take the fire from the candle Now you are standing with tears in your face Fall is coming, the only spoke of your mother So merciless is only the night In the end I'm left alone The time stands still and I am cold
