I reach for you like I'd reach for a star,

Worshipping you from afar, living with my silent love;

I'm like a flame dying out in the rain,

Only the ashes remain, smouldering like my silent love;

How I long to tell all the things I have planned,

Still it's wrong to tell, you would not understand,

You'll go along never dreaming I care,

Loving somebody somewhere, leaving me my silent love.
