Ich wart' auf die nacht,
Die mein kumpan,
Der ich vertrau',
Die noch mein freund.
Ich brauche die nacht,
Die nichts verrät,
Die niemals schläft,
Ich brauch' die nacht.
Siehst mir nicht an,
Dass ich zu alt
Und zu zerlumpt
Auf fischzug geh'.
Geb' dir den zins
Von meinem lohn,
Bin dir in schuld
Für jede nacht.
Ich brauche die nacht
Wie du den tag,
Um zu bestehn
In deinem licht,
Lass mich nur stehn
In langer nacht,
Musst mich nicht sehn, tag,
Der sie verjagt.
