Draw me no maps, vow me no vows
No they-perhaps, just here-and-nows
Tomorrow´s dream is not my dream
It comes too late and I can´t wait
The river runs with one remark

Get on your way, it´s growing dark
And so I live to have my say
To get and give each burning day
And if in time I find my love

He´ll find that I´m no frightened dove
For all too soon young love is passed
It´s tender leaves fall off too fast
Each rising hill, each falling stream
Cause to fulfill each day´s new dream
Some brighter road to fly along
Some stronger wine, some wilder song
And when I´m gone don´t shed one tear
The world will know that I´ve been here!
