Es fährt ein Zug nach Nirgendwo

Christian Anders - Es fährt ein Zug nach Nirgendwo (1972)

Es fährt ein Zug nach nirgendwo
Song by Christian Anders ‧ 1972

Sometimes scenes in Second Life remind me of songs I knew as a teenager in Germany. Christian is now 80 years old, but his songs are still around. 

There is a train to nowhere,
With me alone as a passenger.
With every hour that passes,
It leads me further away from you.
There is a train to nowhere,
Which did not exist yesterday.
I thought you believed in me
And that I have you forever.

There is a train to nowhere,
And no one sets the light from green to red.
Does it not matter to you,
That our happiness breaks down at once?
There is a train to nowhere,
Soon you will be alone just like me.
Say a word, just say a word
And everything will be as it used to be.

Soon a new day dawns.
It's not too late for us yet,
But when the door closes, what then?

There is a train to nowhere,
Soon you too will be alone like me.
Say a word, just say a word
And everything will be as it used to be.
