So Much Tenderness (R.W. Fassbinder, ''Der Amerikanischer Soldat'')

Alone you start my friend,
 Alone is now an end.
 I feel the storm my friend
 And it was borne again.

 So much tenderness is in my head,
 So much loneliness is in my bed,
 So much tenderness over the world...

 Thirteen days in another land
 No chance for hand in hand.
 Light and sea of blue
 Your words are never true.

 So much tenderness is in my head,
 So much loneliness is in my bed,
 So much tenderness over the world...

 No more a love is in my arms,
 When life decides so hard,
 No feeling for the time,
 The change for me is on the ground.

 So much tenderness is in my head,
 So much loneliness is in my bed,
 So much tenderness over the world...
