If you look at me just once
With that very glance
If you strike me head-on
With that very blow
Oh love, my love
You showed me the seed of love
Burning right in my chest
You struck me too
Sharing your breath with me
You comforted me
Here I am, in your eyes
Lost on an island
Where you stood
I was surrounded by water
Oh girl
With a beauty that heaven longs for
I saw you
And washed away my sins
As soul comforts soul
It changed me completely
The rhythm of life, dreaming of you
Reaches you
A change in my walk
A change in how I dress
Everything happened as my heart wished
A change of heart
Has become entirely yours
Into your fighting
Gaze, I fell
The days now
Long to truly live
Walking on and on
All other needs have faded
And my search continues only for you
Here I am, in your eyes
Lost on an island
Where you stood
I was surrounded by water
Oh girl
With a beauty that heaven longs for
I saw you
And washed away my sins
The energy that sparks
When I look at you
Won't hearts explode into the air?
Longing for you uncontrollably
Is this stubborn ache in my chest
You are my only resting place
My love
The speed through the whole day
An endless momentum
Walking while carrying sounds
Trapped inside a drop of water
Struggling for life
Like an ant, my longing stays
Here I am, in your eyes
Lost on an island
Where you stood
I was surrounded by water
Oh girl
With a beauty that heaven longs for
I saw you
And washed away my sins
Here I am, in your eyes
Lost on an island
Where you stood
I was surrounded by water
Oh girl
With a beauty that heaven longs for
I saw you
And washed away my sins
