about

Title 'borrowed' from German movie with the same name. Lyrics partly inspired by German children's book 'Ich Mag Dich Gesund, Sagte Der Bär' ('I Will Make You Better, Said The Bear'). Piano recored at Abbey Road in 2004.

lyrics

WINTERSCHLÄFER

that was your mom who I just informed
now go back to bed while it’s still warm
not one thing you need that is not in this lair
lay down your arms - you're under my care

close those eyes
goodnight-night to you
go and doze off
this cold winter through

and see what time will do

let's pull up a chair now Janosch is here
for 'Ich mach dich gesund, sagte der Bär'
and when you're fast asleep I will play with your hair
through my tears I will breathe you're under my care

close those eyes
goodnight-night to you
go and doze off
this cold winter through

the curtain's drawn
the sun long gone

close those eyes
goodnight-night to you
no, I won't take
a straight no from you

and when spring arrives we will have to see
if you're sick of life or - maybe - me
