Lyrics Carol Masters (Demo) - 2021 Remaster - Alphaville

She sits by the window, stares into the night
Just waiting for a foreign sound from the outside
Far beyond the atmospheres, she is listening for a call
What takes her homewards to ahead (is too ahead, is too ahead)
Oh, I love you so
He who's master of the icy shots won't harm you in the morning

She knows that the pavement's hard
There between the stars to travel on to Martian Homesick City
She is weeping silently, but there's not a tear
Just raindrops falling from the painted ceiling
The dance of the foraging bee will number all the things
She has been longing for since she was young (she was young)

"That I will not pass this night in vain," she says
I'll stand this kind of rain
I'll know the way, I'll find the path (the path)
Yes, Carol wants to go to Mars
Back where the red, cold sun is sinking to the channels of Ada

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

Day breaks through the grating
Someone moves a chair
And sunlight blisters dazzling on a glass
Take a pill and greet the day for sedative holidays
Why aren't you sleeping in the night? (In the night, in the night)

Oh, I love you so
He who's master of the icy shots won't harm you 'til the evening
Oh, we shall meet tomorrow night
And I'll kiss you just as tenderly
As Cygnus kissed the deserts

Oh, we shall meet tomorrow night
And I'll kiss you just as tenderly
As Cyguns kissed the deserts
