[Music: Roderer/Klasen]
[Lyrics: Krull]
Ten more summers pleased the land
Ten more winters numbed the
landscape
Time is running quickly
But in my brain a terrible dream never ends
I try to escape from my past
I'm damned to
suffer a whole life!
Life is a long and silent river
She grows up - shy, alone and sad
Other kids - kept away from
her
Her mother - was divorced long ago
No more love - only alcohol
Life is a long and silent river
No real friends -
for the little girl
Nobody understands - what's wrong with her
Her classmates - cheat her all the time
The silent girl - is
discriminated against
[Lead: Scharf]
Life is a long and silent river
[Lead: Roderer]
People are shouting at
me
"You stupid girl!
How strange you are - never spoke!"
I try to escape from my past
I'm damned to suffer a whole
life!
[Lead: Roderer]
