that was your mum who i just informed
go back to bed while it's still warm
not one thing you need that is not in this lair
just lay down your arms - you're under my care

close those eyes
goodnight-night to you
go and doze
this cold winter through

and see what time will do

let's pull up in chair now Janosch is here
for ich mach dich gesund, sagte der Bär
and when you're fast asleep i will play with your hair
through my tears i will breathe you're under my care

close those eyes
goodnight-night to you
go and doze
this cold winter through

the curtain's drawn
the sun long gone

close those eyes
goodnight-night to you
go and doze
this cold winter through

and when spring arrives, we will have to see
if you're sick of life or -maybe- me
