Ich deine Steine, du Steine English translation
von Peter Fox

I climb up high
stones are rolling
and they fall down on you
You see them coming
don't step aside
You thought you'd catch them

You reach for my hand
we sink into the sand
I hold you tight as best I can
but we're not getting anywhere
You look into my face
I see everything
but not you
together alone
because we have no
alphabet that we both share
the trace behind us holds us together
but it too will eventually crumble
I know that the ground is breaking beneath us both


I can't with you
and I can't without you
maybe better without you

You cooked
there were stones
they're lying in my stomach now
they are heavy
I am alone
please, who
will cut me open

The game is new
You are cold
and I am numb
my heart full, my head empty
yesterday it was the other way around

You are
towering on the horizon
I watch you as you approach
see how you are and how we are
that we are never satisfied


We walk away for a bit
come back
and we realize that perfect happiness
was, is, and remains a pipe dream
and we are real
I can't with you
and not without you
but above all, not without you
