All Along the Shadows
04:59
|
|||
|
All along the shadows you walk away
Silence all around your eyes are grey
Deep within the sorrow your hidden face
Glows into tomorrow
And into this pillow I weep and see
Nothing really matters but you and me
Nothing really matters but me and you
But what we must do
To become the people we want to be
Stripped of all our layers and finally free
Learning all the lessons that we must learn
Understanding more of all
Even after all the words I said
Even if I said our love was dead
I still care for you and hope one day
We will meet again
Within all the fire and inside ice
You gave me your power and I gave mine
Lost we found each other and in our fight
We discovered ourselves
I’ve become the source of all your pain
If I stayed with you I’d go insane
Maybe all of this was meant to be
A whole new discovery
I called you my brother was like a wife
You became the father of all of my strife
Then the disappointment closed us in
You would no more let me in
And though your wounds still bleed
It’s only you , you need
To love

The Prophecy
04:29
|
|||
|
Standing on my side of the shimmering shore
I stare ahead into darkness
My eyes are open wide and see
A stranger’s eyes staring back at me
“I know who you are” we both say together
and the vision stays in our minds forever
“yes you are the love I will find and lose
and this fate we cannot refuse”
it won’t be a story with a happy ending
it is more like rain on a window pane
there’s no point forgetting, it’s no use pretending
that it won’t be pleasure with the sting of pain
then the image fades, I Remain alone
nothing more is said by the man unknown
is this truth? Or is it fantasy?
I don’t want his words to keep haunting me
But days follow night and the sun shines bright
Spring is coming near and so grows my fear
For I know that soon it will be our turn
And though we can’t be saved my choice has been made

Do it again Sam
04:24
|
|||
|
A night existed where I
suddenly caught you by surprise
I put the blindfold on your eyes
and wished to kiss you till sunrise
I wished for you to come
and blew out a red candle
the fresh wind came and took you back
to give me your embrace
you touch me like I’m beautiful
you touch me like I’m porcelain
with reverence and gentleness
I see myself white
Do it again Sam
come to meet me again
do it today
because tomorrow I’ll go away
Just when I thought that you would come
you found the sweet love of another
lucky is she who will become
the one you hold close next to you
what makes you happy makes you cry
what you desire the most will break you
now when I look into your eyes
I feel the tears swell up inside
you touched me like I’m beautiful....
I’ll go away Sam
I know I can’t have you again
I’m sad today
but I guess there’s no other way
I’ll go away Sam
maybe one day we’ll meet again
I’ll go away
I’m sad today

Not You
03:44
|
|||
|
You are so sweet and gentle
You are so much fun
With you I am at peace
You are a wonderful man
But it isn’t you I long for
No it isn’t you I am meant for
I am so happy to have you in my life
When I am with you I feel love inside
But it isn’t you I am meant for
No it isn’t you I long for
It would be so easy if it was you I desired
You’d make me happy easily
I almost wouldnn’t have to try
Bit it isn’t you I long for
No itsnt you I am meant for
So please don’t leave me now you know it isn’t you
Please stay with me
I love you too
I don’t want to hurt you my dear friend
But true romance is not in store for us in the end
No true romance is not in store for us in the end

Break Up
04:05
|
|||
|
She locks herself inside the room
she locks herself inside herself
lock yourself and throw away the key
that´s the way to do it
that´s your way to be
one day he´ll be gone and sitting next to you
scared to tell you you´re a thousand miles apart
you live together in misery but you rather live this way
than to be alone but free see the truth that´s in your face
love is to love freely
love is to set free
love is to see yourself loving yourself and all that´s in between
it is so much less glamorous than passion
and yet so much more complete
love your lover like he is not yours
love yourself first

Tristan And Isolde
04:32
|
|||
|
I see our tragic story
unfold between our eyes
it´s all inside my heart
between you and I
should I set the wheel in motion
hope it ends well in the end G
or should I not even tell you
keep the secret in myself
I´m afraid I´m too romantic
for a world that´s full of pain
I´m afraid you´ll surely laugh at me
leave me crying in the rain
it has happened oh so much before
I am tired of this charade
all I want is sweet warm loving
laughter on a summer´s day
Am I asking for too much
when all around is shame E-
for our longings and our weaknesses
don´t we all just want the same
(twice)
Once again I´ll put myself
in the hands of destiny
hoping it will take good care of me
leave me something I can keep
I will let myself ride the waves
of the ocean that will come
make my heart and soul be strong enough
to withstand all that will come
Cause I´m afraid I´m too romantic....

why
05:51
|
|||
|
Why this sinking feeling?
Why always this tears?
Why do I feel it’s over
Why these fears
Did we use to have fun once
Or was it just a dream
And why is it so hard now
To feel my love within…?
We try and try and always fail
To find a new solution
But nothing works and in the end
I find only pollution
Why can’t we be happy?
Is it me or is it you?
I am lost within a deep sadness
And nothing seems to pull me through
Each day I see the desperation
Reflected in your eyes
As I withdraw and close myself
To try and stop the fights
I am alone and I’m so scared
Of losing your affection
And yet unable to make a change
In either direction

Goodbye Angel
03:31
|
|||
|
Got a letter this morning
Telling me that you’re dead
Nobody knows how it happened
They just said, they found you dead
In your bed
After a lifetime alone
Another sleeping pill
Another glass of alcohol
And you went away with a smile
The only happiness you knew in your unhappy life
I wish I could have shown you
Another way to see it all
The love and beauty of the world
But were always so blind
To other people’s love
And anyway I always was too far away
I wish at least that I could have held your hand
So you didn’t have to die alone
You were one , one of my dearest friends
And now you’re forever gone
If I ever, If I ever ever have a child
I should call him Angel, like your name
He shall be my angel
Like you were when you were alive
Goodbye my angel goodbye

The Unwanted
05:26
|
|||
|
your eyes speak of fear
the fear of burnt hands
in the sacred fire of passion
you long to touch my lips
with words that are soon forgotten
but yours is a fascination
of the dangerous kind
you will wait for me forever
if you think that I will come to you
if all you do is lie there waiting
all you do is wait for me
cause you don’t want me like I don’t want you
you don’t know anything about me
you live your life closed behind doors
and you won’t open them for me
so please quit that shy looking at me
like Im something you might wanna have
just in case I’m interested
see if there’s something for you to get
all I ask is for an open heart
if you want me come and do your part
but don’t think that I’m for the taking
by the first one who’ll come along
cause you don’t want me like I don’t want you....

Jessie's Song
03:37
|
|||
|
I look into your
Mad eyes
Shining with desire
Your hidden
Words
Firing at the inside of my mind
I can hear the meaning of your silences
I can hear the thoughts you never spoke
I can feel your hands inside my body
Rummaging to find something to hold on to
You caress me without touching
You’re ablaze without a sigh
We embrace inside a vision
That hides behind my averted eyes
|

When I am gone
04:18
|
|||
|
What will you do when I am gone
And what will you feel when you’re all alone
Where will you go when it’s time to part
And how will you be when we are far apart
You’re playing with fire and it’s just the start
You think you’re immune
To the pain of a broken heart
Your naivety is endearing
And almost contagious
But your youth is both your blessing and your curse
What will I do when the fruit is ripe
Where will I roam when the end’s in sight
How will I feel when the time draws near
What will I say when I feel the fear
You don’t know what you’re playing
But I know it very well
This closeness will bring pain
Together with the spell
But this is not a game
And the stakes are way too high
The words that you use now
Will make you cry
So what should I do now that I have a choice
And will you be able to listen to my voice
How do I know what to let fall apart
What I should keep and what to discard

You're driving me crazy
03:13
|
|||
|
You’re driving me crazy
With all your demands
You’re driving me crazy
I’ll give us one more chance
You’re holding me so close
I can’t breathe anymore
If you don’t let me go soon
I’ll be closing that door
Can’t you see that it’s only
When your fears do come true
That you let yourself worry
And then they become true
Cause you’re driving me crazy….
I’m so tense I get angry
I get stressed I get blue
If our love is left broken
After all we’ve been through
I’m so sick of us fighting
When it’s clear that we care
Let me live my own life
While I know that you’re there

Pearl of Blood
05:44
|
|||
|
Last night I dreamt of you
A pearl of blood in a dark pool
And though I left him all to you
You’ll never be another man’s fool
Today I met you
While walking down the street
And though you looked at me
I couldn’t bring myself to come and talk to you
To come and talk to you
Hey sister
Are you my secret ally?
Or do you really care about him?
Hey sister
Are you my secret ally?
Or do you think the worst of me?
Cause there’s something left unspoken
That needs to find expression
And that’s why this fascination
Won’t leave me alone
Hey sister
Is this just my insecurity?
Or do you think of me as enemy?
Hey sister
Is this just insecurity?
Or are you just trying to be free?

Marriage
04:31
|
|||
|
You were born together
And together you shall die
You shall be together
When you laugh and when you cry
But let there be spaces in your togetherness
Let the wind of the heavens dance between you
If we Love one another
But make not a bond of love
Let it be rather
A moving sea between your souls
Fill each other cup, but drink not from the same one
Feed each other bread, but do not eat from the same bowl
We will Sing and dance together
and let each other be alone
Even as the strings
Of a sweet lute are all alone
Though they quiver with the same music
Part of the same lute they stand alone
Let us Give of your hearts
But not into each-other’s arms
Only the hand of life
Can contain all of your hearts
And stand together, yet not too near together
For the pillars of the temple stand apart

Blue Sapphire
03:06
|
|||
|
At night
it shines
inside
At night
it shines
inside
It´s blue
it´s deep
it´s a little Sapphire
I dream of holding you gently by my side
running my fingers through your hair
breathing beside you watching you sleep
watching the Sapphire grow warm
your precious Sapphire
needs care
needs love
I´ll warm it up for you
I want
to see it
glowing in the dark
it´s blue
it´s deep
it´s your precious sapphire
