What now, my love, now that you've left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turning to ashes
And my hopes into bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
I walk the night without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now, my love, now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars tumbling around me
There's the sky where the sea should be
What now, my love, now that you've gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live or die
What now, my love, now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
