1. Diese Nacht ging ich in eine dunkle Nebenstraße... [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Diese Nacht
ging ich eine dunkle Nebenstraße
um die Ecke
Da legte sich mein Schatten
in meinen Arm
Dieses ermüdete Kleidungsstück
wollte getragen werden
und die Farbe Nichts sprach mich an:
Du bist jenseits!
