It’s You Who Took Me Away [Song lyric]

We threw all our roses away

And grew our own irises

Whose wings open for us.

It’s you my love

Who took me away from home

Now there is nothing left of it

But two gypsies travelling through ancient Europe.

Hidden by my wounded handkerchief

The closed perfume stores sent me away

Back to our wall built of images.

Our houses are built on the absence

But together we are complete

Even without the mountains we recognize.

The widening circles warned us

That in the brightness of our longing

We would see the struggle of their twisted hearts.

It’s you my love

Who took me away from home

Now there is nothing left of it

But two gypsies travelling through ancient Europe.

We glide behind the windows

Of a city full of dread

Where is the rain I used to love?

Even the sky sees us in silence

Not as the unwary dread of the night

And the space between two notes is our home.

It’s you my love

Who took me away from home

Now there is nothing left of it

But two gypsies travelling through ancient Europe.
