raw caress

rage

this time the wind has blown me forwards

from the sick and stinking harvest. i've laid here much too long

i feel like an old and restless sailor

with visions long forgotten

a free will much too strong

raw caress

right then

when darkness fell around me

and my fruits no longer ripened

an end was coming near

returned from a safe self-chosen prison

to a storm that ripped my heart out and took it far from here. pain and misery left its marks on me

start again from here

cold reality needs to be set free

chances now at hand

life's a raw caress

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress to me

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress to me

and now

as i gather up my back bone

to rebuild it even stronger

the clouds break up again

it seems

even if fortune is tragic

that a sad tale finds an ending that's reconciled again

pain and misery left its marks on me

start again from here

cold reality needs to be set free

chances now at hand

life's a raw caress

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress to me

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress to me

reach out - the old eternal time waves are flowing on and on!

look up - the dawn is soon awaking

there's land in sight again!

reach out - the old eternal time waves are flowing on and on!

look up - the dawn is soon awaking

there's land in sight again! oh!

raw caress

pain and misery left its marks on me

start again from here

cold reality needs to be set free

chances now at hand

life's a raw caress

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress to me

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress

it's a raw caress to me

life's a raw caress to me
