What now, my love, now that you've left me

How can I live through another day

Watching my dreams turning to ashes

And my hopes into bits of clay



Once I could see, once I could feel

Now I am numb, I've become unreal

I walk the night without a goal

Stripped of my heart, my soul



What now, my love, now that it's over

I feel the world closing in on me

Here come the stars tumbling around me

There's the sky where the sea should be



What now, my love, now that you've gone

I'd be a fool to go on and on

No one would care, no one would cry

If I should live or die



What now, my love, now there is nothing

Only my last goodbye
