Closer to you the night before
For all the days to come idly (nyet)
For all the years to come, I be (nyet)

Closer to you the worse it hurts
For all the dreams to stay painful (nyet)
For all the years to come, I call (nyet!)

Closer to you the music plays
For all the songs about lovers (nyet)
For all the years to come like us (nyet)

Closer to you the time is still
For all the things to do, running (nyet)
For all the years but without me (nyet!)

Closer to you the voices break
For all the words to say by heart (nyet!)
For all the years to come apart (nyet!)

Closer to you there’s nothing else
For many miles around but loneliness (nyet!)
For many years to come, silence (nyet!)

Ohhhhhhhh
Nyet! Nyet! Nyet! Nyet!
Nyet! Nyet! Nyet! Nyet! Nyet!
