Vertaling van: Trijntje Oosterhuis - De Weg Terug

At arm's length
But miles away from me
Have I gone to sleep to early
Or have you turned off the light
Let me find you
Give me the chance to start over
Let me see you
Let me cherish you again
I'm searching you in the dark
Why can't I see you, why aren't you there
Give me something a sign of life
A single flame
Something so I can see, which direction it came from
A small light, my love, show me the way back to you

Along the path of love
The kiss was exchanged for the silence
I want to break it through so badly
But I can't if you hide
Let me hear you
Let my heart be pierced by your grief
I can't have it that I've lost you
I call you in the dark
Why don't you answer me
Why aren't you there
Give me something a sign of life, a single sound
So that I can determine, which way forward
A signal that tells me that you still trust me
I want to try anything, but I can't do it alone
I want to go anywhere but I don't no where to go
Just a tone dear, show me the way back
I would love to return At arm's length
But miles away from me

Let me feel you
Do deep mistakes cool your heart
Let our love flood the fear
I'm searching you in the dark
Why can't I see you
Why aren't you there
Give me something, a sign of life, that you are still there
Something of the past from you, something I remember
A proof that tells me that you somewhere deep inside still love me
I want to try anything, but I can't do it alone
I want to go anywhere, if you tell me where to go
Please help me darling, show me the way back
I would love to return to you
