Engel voor een dag [English translation]

Do you think it’s going to be different

When my angel leaves me?

Leaves me again in silence

Like the way she came

Like silver in my black

With only one thing on her heart

That she went crazy of longing

To stick around for a while

In the valley/dale of my faith

She’s circling very sweet around my head

But she don’t let her catch her anywhere

She’s my angel for one day

Do you think that she would stay any longer

Her patience will exaggerate

Because it suits her?

Or that she take wings from my shoulder

Not too late but just any older

Like a bird who appals

Or just because without a reason

Without a future or a past

Again goes flying towards the sun

Where the end once started

She always calls that the present

She's my angel for one day…

She has just arrived

And I’m already afraid

Of the (empty) space in my bed

Because an angel never stays for long

As if it always was this way

Lies she next to me like a cat

And when she leaves it will be

As if I’ve never had something else

Than an angel for one day

I think it will become different

Because one day is way too short

For an angel to die

And the dust is the evidence

The silver is already slowly becoming grey

Even if she just painted it

But I can live with it

Because what is beautiful never lasts

That’s not long enough for me

Although I’m gladly that I secretly

Wrote her quickly down

My angel for one day…
