about

I wrote this song about three years ago after a glorious week in New York.
I loved it there, so this is a love song.

lyrics

Ich habe eine ganze Woche mit dir verbracht,
das heißt, ich kenn‘ dich wie sonst niemand.
Ich weiß, du schläfst nie, sei es Tag oder Nacht,
nur manchmal ganz kurz,
morgens früh um halb vier
vor meinem Fenster.

Es klingt verrückt, doch ich weiß, dass es stimmt:
Es hat geklickt zwischen dir und mir.
Es brennt nicht mehr, doch es knistert und glimmt,
ich bin verliebt.

Ich habe eine ganze Woche für dich gelacht,
geweint, geträumt und mich gewundert.
Du hast für mich ein bisschen Unsinn gemacht,
nur manchmal ganz kurz
warst du plötzlich so ernst,
dass es fast wehtat.

Nach uns’rer Woche hab‘ ich an dich gedacht,
nach dir gefühlt, du wirst mir fehlen.
Hast mich in einen Geisteszustand gebracht,
nur manchmal ganz kurz,
New York State of Mind.
Wer will schon schlafen?
