I’ll stay forever by my love
so proudly she does glide,
her feathers white as any dove
and I’ll stay by her side,
yes I’ll stay by her side.
I met her in the month of may
the lake so bright did shine
and she was fair as any fay
I knew that she was mine:
I’m hers, and she is mine.
And though she never speaks my name
and never casts a glance
I’ll feed my love’s eternal flame
till I may see my chance.
One day I’ll see my chance.
O what can stop a loving heart
if love itself is true?
The winter winds will make us part
but I will wait for you
yes I will wait for you.
Im Sommer 2006 tauchte auf dem Aasee in Münster ein schwarzer Schwan auf, der sich unsterblich verliebt hatte: In ein schwanenförmiges Tretboot. Dieses Lied ist ihr gewidmet, und allen anderen bedingungslos Liebenden.
