How Can I Tell You

Das Lied kann man eigentlich an die “Waltzing Mathilda” anschließen, es geht um das gleiche Motiv: Mathilda ist sozusagen ständig bei ihm - in ihm anwesend. Cat Stevens konnte das möglicherweise nicht mehr aushalten und ist zum Islam konvertiert - so meine waghalsige Vermutung. Er war ja kein Mensch der Analyse. Um sich aus diesem Psycho-Sumpf der Sexualreligion zu retten, suchte er sein Heil in der islamischen Religion, was ja in mancherlei Hinsicht verständlich ist, wenn man weiß wie das Verhältnis von Mann-Frau im Islam gestaltet werden soll. Und Musik ist im Islam verpönt. Also darf man sein Leid auch nicht lyrisch-musikalisch ausdrücken, wie es Cat Stevens hier auf wunderbare Weise tut.

• How can I tell you
  That I love you
  I love you
  But I can't think of right words to say
• I long to tell you
  That I'm always thinking of you
  I'm always thinking of you
  But my words just blow away
  Just blow away
• It always ends up to one thing, honey
  And I can't think of right words to say
• Wherever I am girl
  I'm always walking with you
  I'm always walking with you
  But I look and you're not there
• Whoever I'm with
  I'm always, always talking to you
  I'm always talking to you
  And I'm sad that you can't hear
  Sad that you can't hear
• It always ends up to one thing, honey
  When I look and you're not there
• I need to know you
  Need to feel my arms around you
  Feel my arms around you
  Like a sea around a shore
• Each night and day I pray
  In hope that I might find you
  In hope that I might find you
  Because heart's can do no more
  Can do no more
• It always ends up to one thing, honey
  Still I kneel upon the floor
• How can I tell you
  That I love you
  I love you
  But I can't think of right words to say
• I long to tell you
  That I'm always thinking of you
  I'm always thinking of you
• It always ends up to one thing, honey
  And I can't think of right words to say
