Good Night, Elisabeth
[1st Strophe]It is the cold Sophie
Who there in front the door stands
Who knows if she will ever be well again
Lay thyself warm ah1
And this here is the big box
Which worries me here
Much to heavy for one alone
Even much to heavy for (us) both
And this here is the bag with the souvenirs
And this here is the bag with black and white photos
Most of them are unsharp2
[chorus]
Ohh, good night Elisabeth
Let me loose
Let me go and let me tee and let me forth from here
Ohh, good night Elisabeth
Sleep well
Dream sweet
It comes a new morning and a clear3 light
One for thee and one for me
And let us never forget what is been
[2nd Strophe]
And this here is the thick wall
I have built it all alone
I know not anymore how or howso4
They were suddenly simply there
The old records, the old songs
The old stories, the old books
The old pictures, the old colours
The old struggles, the old scars
Elisabeth, the bag with the souvenirs
Is so much too big and to heavy for me
I let it there stand5
I let it there I let it there when I go
[chorus]
Ohh, good night Elisabeth
Let me loose
Let me go and let me tee and let me forth from here
Ohh, good night Elisabeth
Sleep well
Dream sweet
It comes a new morning and a clear3 light
One for thee and one for me
And let us never forget what is been
[instrumental bridge]
[chorus]
Ohh, good night Elisabeth
Let me loose
Let me go and let me tee and let me forth from here
Ohh, good night Elisabeth
Sleep well
Dream sweet
It comes a new morning and a clear3 light
One for thee and one for me
And let us never forget what is been
[finale]
It is the cold Sophie
Who there in front the door stands
Who knows if she will ever be well again
Lay thyself warm ah1
