Jeden Abend werfe ich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Jeden Abend werfe ich eine Zukunft hinter mich, die sich niemals mehr erhebt - denn sie hat im Geist gelebt. Neue Bilder werden, wachsen; Welten drehn um neue Achsen, werden, sterben, lieben, schaffen. Die Vergangenheiten klaffen. -- Tobend, wirbelnd stürzt die Zeit in die Gruft. -- Das Leben schreit!
