M

You're falling headlong in front of me

on your way towards unknown territory

And when your sickness has taken you

I'll give your name to a street

Pulling out our camera

Taking yet another picture

Where you just smile and lay still

It seems so simple dear

Still it's so unfathomably hard

Yes, it seems so simple dear

But nothing in this world was

ever easy to understand

I shouldered a role when you took ill

A role that demanded a harder shell

My power reserve is almost gone

as is my belief in an intervening god

Your big heart begins to slow down it's pace

and you touch my cheek so that I understand

It's only a matter of hours before you leave

Five steps back, two steps forward

From a distance, it looks like dancing

And in the dream, you are holding my hand

It seems so simple dear

Still it's so unfathomably hard

In a world built by men, for men

Where nothing has any value

except the memory of all that was ours

Yeah... This is song cant really be translated.
It lives on emotion and I find it impossible to translate that emotion.

to quote another kent lyric:
"I read something about kisses in a science magazine
Something they can´t capture in the sweetest movie scene"
Same goes for this song

First of all, thanks for correcting my obvious mistakes. I'm rather tired so thanks for pointing them out :)
I actually googled a way to translate "handlöst" and everything came up "slap-bang" or "smack-bang". Two words I've never heard of, but I wasn't gonna discard it because of one word.
But I'll fix it right away.
