lyrics

I came here as a stranger, a stranger I depart
Maytide favored me, with many a bouquet of flowers
Now the world is full of gloom, the road shrouded in snow
The wind plays with the weathervane, the wind plays with the heart
I thought in my delusion that the fugitive it mocked

Why should I stay here any longer, to be driven away?
Let stray dogs howl in front of their master's house
I was meant to wander, I was made that way
And so as I depart here, to you I say good night
To you I say good night

I cannot choose the time and place where my journey begins
I must find my own way through this lonesome darkness
With the shadow of the moon, my only companion
I won't disturb your dreaming as I steal away
I merely write in passing, on your gate "good night"

Why should I stay here any longer, to be driven away?
Let stray dogs howl in front of their master's house
I was meant to wander, I was made that way
And so as I depart here, to you I say good night
To you I say good night

I came here as a stranger, a stranger I depart
You won't hear my leaving, not even a step
So softly the door closes, with nothing left behind
And on the white fields, I seek the deer tracks
To you I say good night

Why should I stay here any longer, to be driven away?
Let stray dogs howl in front of their master's house
I was meant to wander, I was made that way
And so as I depart here, to you I say good night
To you I say good night
