The Journey to the Stars ( We Wanted to Drive After All )

We wanted to drive quite saucy
with the great Glacier Express
through deep valleys and steep heights.
Just like in life, it was meant to happen.
We were really so presumptuous,
but unfortunately we had to forget it.
Your enemy ate through your armor.
You seemed to be made of iron.
How could your train derail?
The mind says it was good for you,
but the heart laments that you're gone.
Although we are separated, you are still so close'.
But one day the engine will run
and we will be together again,
a dream team like 'Lukas' and 'Jim Knopf'.
And turn the clouds totally upside down.
We'll shovel the coals wildly with the angles
and then we'll fetch the stars from the sky.
We hold each other tightly by the hands
and our journey will never end this time.
