Boxing Day Song -- Blue Flower (Blaue Blume)

Blue Flower

Waiting for a sign from you,
Waiting for the signal to change.
Have you forgotten what true love can do?
Is this the end? 
Can we still be friends?
Walking through the city,
Your boots were high-heeled and shining bright.
The sun was sparkling on the shaft of your knife.
Blue flower in the morning rain, dying in my hand,
It was all in vain.
Superstar in your own private movie,
I wanted just a minor part.
But I'm no fool, I know you're cool,
I never really wanted your heart.
Before the dice were cast, 
I never would have dared to ask.
Your eyes are windows to another world.
Is this the end?
Can we still be friends?
With a cheetah on a chain,
No one dared to put you down.
It's not that cool with me around.
Blue flower in the morning rain, dying in my hand,
It was all in vain.
Superstar in your own private movie,
I wanted just a minor part.
But I'm no fool, I know you're cool,
I never really wanted your heart.
