LILT: Stirb Nicht Vor Mir 1.2

I've begun work on the English lines. Early days:

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 here after dark
Words can't even begin
To express what's in my heart
I surrender and go with him]

[I don't know what he's called
I know that he must be real
His presence is my thrall
And to him I am sealed]

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

[I don't know what you're called
I know that you are real]
Don't die
[Sometimes love is so cruel]
I'm waiting here
[This love I have to feel]
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 what you're called
I know that you are real]
Don't die
[Sometimes love is a call]
I'm waiting here
[Your love for me I feel]

Don't die ere me
