Someone said: This is Annabel
She still needs to get to the station
Take your car, she’ll make it
I said: Sure, and drove like a fool
We arrived at an empty platform
I said: You’re out of luck
Way off in the distance the last car rolled on
And Annabel said: Okay, I’ll go with you
And later we were lying together, as they say
A little tired but satisfied
Light was already coming through the windows
She said: I don’t have time for breakfast, gotta go
I only said: See you, Annabel, and thought
I’ll never see you again
I thought: I’ll turn over and sleep a bit more
But two hours later I was still awake, flat on my back
It’s nothing without you
It’s nothing without you
I stayed in bed like that for two days
I was totally out of it
Then I got up, had to act not think
But without her I wasn’t worth a penny
I roamed the city looking for a glimpse
And I thought, I’ll never see you again
I even started talking to myself out loud
You’d stood for hours with your hands on the bridge rail
It’s nothing without you
It’s nothing without you
And one night I saw her again
She’d just stepped onto the tram
She was even prettier than last time
I shouted her name and slammed on my brakes
I jumped out the car and grabbed her
She stopped and looked back
She looked at me but was hardly surprised
I said: Hey, where’re you headed?
She bought a ticket to Paris
The clerk handed two one-way tickets
And Annabel glanced sideways
I said: I found you today
I’ll never leave you alone again
Even if you travel on to Barcelona or Prague
Even if you go on to the end of the world
It’s nothing without you
It’s nothing without you
