Marlinchen In the Snow

Give me something I can hold on to

Let me feel at ease again

Lights mark a breathing form

A life far from my own

I am free where I'm unknown

How will I ever know

Where I should lay my travelling bones?

Firs like in fairy tales

The ones that I used to read

This frozen lake has me

Laughing like a child

Lose my mind in the wild

Marlinchen in the snow

Saying 'Where will I lay my sweet brother's bones?

Oh where will I lay these travelling bones?'

Have you ever met a bird that spoke

Singing to you 'Murder'

Into your little ear

Oh did you ever hear

Of the foul play of Mother dear?

Well sister now you know

It was she who stopped my heart, made it still as a stone

Oh now where will you lay my travelling bones?

Oh where will you lay my travelling bones?

Give me something I can hold on to

Pull me from the page

For the moment I know

Here I can lay my bones
