Woke up with a pounding head
Pour the coffee in slow motion into the glass
'Cause if you want you can still stay
An uneasy silence follows
You close the door, it goes quiet, I watch you leave
And with you trumpets, violins and choirs
Something against the silence here
Then timpani beats on drum rolls
'cause when it's most beautiful
play it over and over
'cause when it's most beautiful
and when it's most beautiful
Half an eternity ago already
I pack my best stuff and the essentials
finally out of our hometown
It's getting smaller in the mirror
and just ahead the salt water kisses the sand
and with us trumpets, violins and choirs
Something against the silence here
Then timpani beats on drum rolls
and when it's most beautiful
play it over and over
'cause when it's most beautiful
play it over and over
play them over and over
play it over and over
when life knocks us down
when we're drunk with joy
shouldn't there be music
and when it's most beautiful
play it over and over
even when it's most beautiful
and when it's most beautiful
play it over and over
play it over and over
play it over and over
