Cello
By hitchhiking or by motorbike
Or by dodging the fare
I've always followed you somehow
Well, back then I never missed
a concert of yours
And by night I couldn't sleep
And if I was able to sleep, I dreamt of you
-----
(refrain)
You played the cello
In every concert hall of the region
I've always been sitting in the first row
And you were exciting me so, so much
Cello
You were a goddess in my eyes
And sometimes you gave that look
And I though: "Damn!"
And then I was totally strung out again
-----
I've been with you all the time
And that convinced you in the end
We wanted to stay together forever
And, generally, that thing with you, it was so great
You can impossibly describe it
And now you're living in Erfurt*
And your cello is put in the basement
Come on, get that thing out once more and play it as lovely as you used to
-----

And now you're living somewhere
