My life stretches on lonely
A spring that runs over rocks
That never spills into the river
And yet gains in flow and strength
Like ivy lying on the ground
And far and wide no tree in sight
That it could embrace, since it'd lift it
On its way up toward the light
I want to go down alone
And sink into the sands of time
Drink alone from the spring
I want to go down alone
Like a ship on desert seas
I want to go down alone
Like a cloak it settles around me
Soft and heavy, the loneliness
And my blood is calm and cold
Serenity grows inside me
Ravens fly in flocks, the eagle flies alone into the light
And only a fool needs company
I don't need any of that
I want to go down alone and sink into the sands of time
One day rise again, drink alone from the spring
I want to go down alone, like a ship on desert seas
I want to go down alone
So I walk my path alone
And I'm my own best friend
Because there's nothing to expect from the world
That I've ever dreamed of
I want to go down alone
I want to go down alone
I want to go down alone
I want to go down alone and sink into the sands of time
One day rise again, drink alone from the spring
I want to go down alone, like a ship on desert seas
I want to go down alone
I want to go down alone
Return one day!
