Morgenlicht versuri

Morgenlicht lyrics by Ton Steine Scherben

We stand in the morning light
Feverish buds in the first sunlight-beam
The dew sticks, wet and cold
Soon we embark
We open us, unfolded in light and dust
Becoming colors and scent
We circle in the sun
The night sinks behind us

The door is ripped open
We stumble outside in high shoes
Still swaying from our own scent
Of powder and make-up
And the breathtaking colors of the fabrics
My dreams wake up
They mirror themselves in the questioning eyes of the children
In the touching from the strange men
Shuttering, we lift up to our flight

The crowns lie broken
Their shards wither like leaves on concrete
We pick them up
They’re the pages of the novel
Of longing, love and pain
Of eyes that laugh
Of crying bodies and smiling faces
Don’t tell me where the journey goes
We stand in the morning light

We stand in the morning light
Feverish buds in the first sunlight-beam
The dew sticks, wet and cold
Soon we embark
We open us, unfolded in light and dust
Becoming colors and scent
We circle in the sun
The night sinks behind us
