Thränenkind - Today, The Sea (Anja's Song) lyrics

You are not wrong, who deem, that my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away in a night, or in a day In a vision, or in none, is it therefore the less gone? All I ever had just fades away, the only memory left, is of our special day I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand How few! Yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep While I weep...while I weep! My dear! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? My dear! Can I not save One from the pitiless waves? But the only one I really need to save While struggling with the ruthless waves From drowning in these endless shores Is this one important grain of yours
