Saved by her grace, Oh so fair without a lock of hair
grabs her by the waist, lifts her high above
says: Behold my love!


With you, I'll never be lonely
without you I'll never be sane

for you, I shall conquer the oceans
for you, I'll just leave them again


Absinthe love affairs, we fill our lungs with hymns of
pride and poverty and we shall overcome
bring her into our hearts of tar and stone

until that warm embrace will come

Words so tender, whispered so slowly

heed her bitter-sweet caress
swears he'll never leave, he'll never lie to her again
never lie to her again

he'll never lie to her again

My dear, forgive me my feelings

my dear, I'll give you my all
just save me from all these thoughts now
just spare me, be there when I fall


Woken by her voice
a song she's hummed so many times before

hear her calling, hear her yearning
for his hand again
