Why
Why does the caravan drag itself
through the deserted country?
Why does a tree fall
that has stood for over 200 years?
Why is the eternal sand storm
whipping my face without mercy?
Why am I fatigued
and why am I not sleeping?
Why does the old man stand on the shore
of a river made from pure gold?
Why are you searching so desperately
what you really do not want to find?
Why is a lamb born
only to be eaten by the wolf?
Why is the sword drawn
where there is no enemy anymore?
And why does the Queen cry
on her throne, silently to herself?
And why did a big dream die,
and behind the house the cherry tree?
Why does a beguiling green light
rise from lakes and swamps?
Why is a flood of pilgrims trekking
to a prophet who never speaks?
Why does the holy flower
only bloom for one day in a hundred years?
And why did I leave
when we were happy?
And why does the Queen cry
on her throne, silently to herself?
And why does she stand alone
stupid and pale in the moonlight?
Because this grand melody
full of pain, longing and poetry,
lays itself over big words
so the song will move your heart.
That's why the Queen cries
on her throne, silently to herself.
And that's why no one enters,
only the moonlight, stupid and pale.
Because this grand melody
asks for pain, longing and poetry,
to carry the big words,
so the song can move your heart.
