COUNTDOWN TO LÜTZEN 5: WITHOUT YOU

 WITHOUT YOU

(Ohne dich)

sung by Queen Mary Eleanor on the 5th of November like today

I walk through woodland evergreen,

the last place where we each other have seen...

Though the evening mist veils all the land,

o'er the woods, the roads, the heath, the strand...

And the forest is dark to the core...

Oh, I'm so sore... 

and no songbirds sing evermore...

Without you I can't exist...

without you...

With you I cannot resist,

without you...

Without you the hours I reckon,

without you...

With you I count every second

to when I'll be without you...

On the boughs above each trench of strife,

everything is still and bereft of life...

And my breathing rattles to the core...

Oh, I'm so sore... 

and no songbirds sing evermore...

Without you I can't exist...

without you...

With you I cannot resist,

without you...

Without you the hours I reckon,

without you...

With you I count every second

to when I'll be without you...

(Zwischenspiel in sobs)

And my breathing rattles to the core...

Oh, I'm so sore... 

and no songbirds sing evermore...

Without you I can't exist...

without you...

With you I cannot resist,

without you...

Without you the hours I reckon,

without you...

With you I count every second

to when I'll be without you...
