Come in my boat   a storm is rising / and the night is coming   Where do you want to go   quite alone / you are drifting away   Who will hold your hand   when it pulls / you downward   Where do you want to go   So boundless / the cold sea   Come in my boat   The wind of autumn / keeps the sails stiff   Now you are standing by the lantern   with tears in your eyes   The daylight falls to the side   The evening light sweeps empty the streets   Come in my boat   Yearning becomes / the helmsmen   Come in my boat   The best sailor / yet was I   Now you are standing by the lantern   with tears in your face   You take the fire from the candle   Now you are standing with tears in your face   Fall is coming, the only spoke of your mother   So merciless is only the night   In the end I'm left alone   The time stands still   and I am cold
