Old Man Lyrics - Rammstein

He's waiting for the midday wind 

And waves spread out so dull and slack 

And with a hand fan every day 

The old man smooths the water back 

I cast a stone in just for fun 

The water rings moved on the plane 

So sadly stood the old man by 

And swept the water flat again 

In white sand the old man sat 

Trembling as he smoked his pipe 

Just the water and I know that 

The fan is of a special type 

Awareness sleeps volcano dreams 

Reluctant I asked him why 

His head hung low as if he slept 

And then he said before he died 

The water will be your only mirror 

First when it's like glass can you see 

How many fairytales you have left 

For your deliverance you will plead 

The fan was pressed to his breast 

Just as death's grip seized up his hand 

His fingers must have been so tight 

The fan remained back in the sand 

I call the old man every day 

Should he come and deliver me 

I stay here with the midday wind 

And in the fan it is plain to read 

The water will be your only mirror 

First when it's like glass can you see 

How many fairytales you'll have left 

For your deliverance you will plead
