This time the wind has blown me forwards
From the sick and stinking harvest
I've laid here much too longI feel like an old and restless sailor
With his visions long forgotten
A free will much to strongRaw caressRight then, when darkness fell around me
And my fruits no longer ripened
And end was coming nearReturned from a safe self-chosen prison
To a storm that ripped my heart out
And took it far from herePain and misery left its marks on me
Start again from here
Cold reality needs to be set free
Chances now at handLife's a raw caress
It's a raw caress
It's a raw caress to meIt's a raw caress
It's a raw caress
It's a raw caress to meAnd now, as I gather up my back bone
To rebuild it even stronger
The clouds break up againIt seems even if fortune is tragic
That a sad tale finds an ending
That's reconciled againPain and misery left its marks on me
Start again from here
Cold reality needs to be set free
Chances now at handLife's a raw caress
It's a raw caress
It's a raw caress to meIt's a raw caress
It's a raw caress
It's a raw caress to meReach out, the old eternal time waves
Are flowing on and on
Look up, the dawn is soon awaking
There's land in sight againReach out, the old eternal time waves
Are flowing on and on
Look up, the dawn is soon awaking
There's land in sight againRaw caressPain and misery left its marks on me
Start again from here
Cold reality needs to be set free
Chances now at handLife's a raw caress
It's a raw caress
It's a raw caress to meIt's a raw caress
It's a raw caress
It's a raw caress to me
Life's a raw caress to me
