[Verse]
Let me ride your tear over the chin to Africa
Again in the lap of the lioness where I once was at home
Between your long legs, I search for last year's snow
But there is no more snow there
Let me ride your tear overclouds without happiness
The big bird pushes his head gently back into his hideout
Between your long legs, I search for last year's sand
But there is no more sand there

[Chorus]
Longing hides like an insect
While asleep you don't notice that it stings you
I'll never be happy anywhere the finger slips to Mexico
But it sinks in the ocean longing is so cruel

[Post-Chorus]
Longing
Longing
Longing
Longing
Longing
Longing

[Chorus]
Longing hides like an insect
While asleep you don't notice that it stings you
I'll never be happy anywhere the finger slips to Mexico
But it sinks in the ocean longing is so cruel

[Post-Chorus]
Longing
Longing
Longing
Longing
Longing
Longing
Longing
