V1: O' My Star!
don't fail me now,
that I have followed you,
from town to town.
What are you rushing towards?
I can't keep up with you no more.
I can't catch you, but I can't slow down.
O' My Star!
don't fail me now.
V2: Oh, my heart:
don't fail me now,
that I have carried you,
from town to town.
What are you so heavy for?
I can't hold you anymore.
I can't hold you, but I can't put you down.
Oh, my heart,
don't fair me now.
V3: Oh, my soul:
don't fail me now,
that I have searched for you,
from town to town.
Why don't you show yourself?
I want to know you well.
I don't know you, but I won't let you down.
But I don't even know you,
Oh, my soul,
don't fail me now.
