Whatever may be waiting out there
Moves further away with each day
I chase after dreams
My heart, it feels so heavy
No matter where my home is
Something remains that I miss
It weighs on me like a curse
Never finding what I seek

Longing is my helmsman
It pulls me away and drives me on
And when I'm away, I want to go home
It never leaves me alone
Driven by loneliness
No sea too deep
No path too far
And yet I never arrive
Longing is my helmsman

The stars that stand in the sky
Are like companions on the way
The evening wind carries me away
With a course towards the horizon
The distance sings its old song
That draws me to it like magic
So I strive for all time
Alone towards infinity

Longing is my helmsman
It pulls me away and drives me on
And when I'm away, I want to go home
It never leaves me alone
Driven by loneliness
No sea too deep
No path too far
And yet I never arrive
Longing is my helmsman

So many miles I have already
Traveled through waves, wind, and storm
A wanderer in the darkness
Wanderlust my guide
The most beautiful place on my journey
Is the one I have never been to
So I strive for all time
In vain for eternity

Longing is my helmsman
It pulls me away and drives me on
And when I'm away, I want to go home
It never leaves me alone
Driven by loneliness
No sea too deep
No path too far
And yet I never arrive
Longing is my helmsman

Longing is my helmsman
