Labyrinth of illusions

Why did you love me, can you say?
You knew for certain I'd go away.
And all that we had, all that we knew,
Would sink into the void, so true.
It's all decided in my fate,
I sail along it, calm and straight.
I know an island waits ahead,
But I've set course for the mainland instead.

I'll drown my Love in a glass of wine,
And once again I'll sleep alone.
You won't come to me in a dream this time,
To walk the labyrinth of illusions we've known.

Oh, that white ship, I see it clear,
It's waited in the port for years.
But all will pass — a haunting dream,
And it will rust in dock, it seems.
A new course is set, a port unknown,
Where no one waits for me alone.
But I will find you even there,
And my lips will whisper: "I care, I care."

I'll drown my Love in a glass of wine,
And once again I'll sleep alone.
You won't come to me in a dream this time,
To walk the labyrinth of illusions we've known.
But I will find you even there,
And my lips will whisper: "I care, I care."
