Raw Caress

(앨범: The Missing Link - 1993)

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
