LILT: Stirb Nicht Vor Mir 1.1

I've got a bit poetic, replacing before with 'ere'. It's pretty old school, but works, I think. I've also made some other minor changes:

The night gives birth to a child
Its only name is loneliness
It is still and very cold
I weep into the abyss
I don't know what you're called
But I know that you are real
I know that after all
Someone will love me

[He comes to me every night
No words are left to say
With his hands around my neck
I close my eyes and pass away]

[I don't know who he is
In my dreams he does exist
His passion is a kiss
And I can not resist]

I'm waiting here
[Don't die before I do]
I'm waiting here
Don't die ere me

[I don't know who you are
I know that you exist]
Don't die
[Sometimes love seems so far]
I'm waiting here
[Your love I can't dismiss]
I'm waiting here

All the houses are snowed in
Windows are candlelit within
There they lie in pairs
And I
I'm waiting for you here

I'm waiting here
[Don't die before I do]
I'm waiting here
Don't die ere me

[I don't know who you are
I know that you exist]
Don't die
[Sometimes love seems so far]
I'm waiting here
[Your love I can't dismiss]

Don't die ere me

I'm still looking seriously at reworking the English parts, as they still don't measure up for me, but that can wait.
