The song reads:
I was already so far away from you
And no words remained for us to speak
And the windswept away alone sail
And in the end, it made it lonelier still
Awake from every dream and whisper
Everything passes.
All that was once and was forgotten
Today will not return
It is just every wrinkle carved into the skin
That today burns deeper still
For there is no way back
And everything passes.
Every day follows another day, and night follows night
And as long as nothing changes on this earth
It is good we stayed together
And it is good that we have someone with whom to share
Despite everything, there is no way back
And everything passes.
Every wound that healed and again reopened
Today burns even more
It mends and restores itself
And again, it all bursts forward even stronger
Now it does not break and turn into a crisis
And everything passes.
And do you remember how we once were
Facing the wind and its strengthening power
And after all the bad years
Many better years came to pass
It is good we stayed together
And it is good that we have someone with whom to share
Despite everything, there is no way back
And everything passes.
