For Amelie

Why don't you feel me?

Why can't I hold your hand?

Never said that you'd leave me

And I know you are somewhere

I held you up

Every time you were down

Your crying stopped

When I was around... but...

Why don't you love me

Enough to stay with me?

Now tell me truly:

Was it there in your heart too?

All that I'm left with

Is a dream of me and you

I held you up

Every time you were down

Your crying stopped

When I was around

You filled my soul

With your beauty and with hope

We're different although

We were just like water in sand

Why don't you feel me?

Why can't I hold your hand?

You never said that you'd leave me

And I know you are somewhere

I held you up

Every time you were down

Your crying stopped

When I was around

I held you close

When you fell to the ground

And now you've torn all my hope apart

You could have said good-bye
