Alter Mann - Old Man

He waits for the midday's wind / the wave comes and lies down slowly / with a fan every day / the old one makes the water even / I throw the stone for my pleasure / the water moves in circles / the old one looks worried at me / and sweeped it even again / in the white sand the old man / trembling smokes his pipe / only the water and i know / for what he needs this fan / the notion sleeps like a volcano / hesitating i had then asked / the head bent it seems he slept / he said before he died / The water shall be your mirror / after it's even you will see / how much fairy tale still remains for you / and for redemption you will plead / The fan pressed against his body / in agony his hand gets stiff / they had to break his fingers / the fan remains in the sand / I call the old one every day / he would still like to redeem me here / I stay back in the midday's wind / and I can read in the fan / The water shall be your mirror / after it's even you will see / how much fairy tale still remains for you / and for redemption you will plead
