Tell Me
Tell me
Where the lilies went
Tell me
When the drought began
Tell me
Have we reached the end
Tell me
Tell me, my friend
Or let us just be still
And listen
Tell me
Can you scent the rain
Tell me
Coming up again
Tell me
Sprinkle fresh and fain
Tell me
Every single grain
Now, let us just be still
And listen
Tell me
Deep inside the blue
Tell me
Could you be just you
Tell me
Within this endless hue
Tell me
Have you felt that too
When we were just and still
And listened

Revolution

Revolution
Oh hideous knave, so well disguised
In t-shirt and jeans, like all the good guys
Stealing people’s thoughts to manipulate
Elections and countries with lies and hate
But the evil you’re cashing soon will return
Back to it’s sender, in fire to burn
Who saws the wind he reaps the storm
And will be swallowed just like a worm
Revo, revolution
Creepy creatures hide from the sun
Revo, revolution
A new light’s dawn has just begun
Oh greasy old man, suited so slick
With thoughts so angry, disturbing and sick
You’d rape the world to become a man
But that’s the one thing that you never can
Just like Goliath, you gonna fall
The stone lies before you, no matter how tall
You ever will grow, it will be picked up
And hurled with godly force at your top
Revo, revolution
Creepy creatures hide from the sun
Revo, revolution
A new light’s dawn has just begun
All you speakers of hatred, stop telling your lies
There’s still enough time to drop your disguise
And realize that we could be one
To deal with the scourge of civilization
Oh, you might even laugh and say it is too late
But I reply love’s stronger than hate
And soon will you find that I was right
When you will tumble into the night
Revo, revolution
Creepy creatures hide from the sun
Revo, revolution
A new light’s dawn has just begun

Sometimes
04:51
|

|
Sometimes
A way
To the big outside
Often a thought
Rarely realised
Worth the risk
To risk the worth
What will remain
After leaving planet earth
A bitter taste
Or a shiny smile
A memory
Of every single mile
Over the ice
With laughing eyes
To paradise
Sometimes a breaking wave is all it takes for you to live
Sometimes to loosen becomes the only way to give
Sometimes to almost drown teaches you how to swim
Sometimes the end becomes the point where you begin
There are quite a few sandy beaches
To where the tar rarely reaches
In mountain lakes clear rivers rise
And run into in the sea, whatever their size
Feeling easy, feeling fine
About time
Sometimes a breaking wave is all it takes for you to live
Sometimes to loosen becomes the only way to give
Sometimes to almost drown teaches you how to swim
Sometimes the end becomes the point where you begin
And the end of our little play
Is ill defined, tomorrow, today
But the clear water once tasted
Is not meant to be wasted
Sometimes a breaking wave is all it takes for you to live
Sometimes to loosen becomes the only way to give
Sometimes to almost drown teaches you how to swim
Sometimes the end becomes the point where you begin

Raindrops
05:31
|

|
Raindrops
Raindrops falling down your window
As to end our summer‘s tale
The kind of uneasy lingo
That lets a breeze become a gale
Become a gale
And when the last of day is over
You gonna miss me when you’re gone
At times the wind turns roses sober
Just know me waiting ‘til you come
‘Til you come
Echoes reflecting well the empty
As our hearts are drenched in pain
Any leave’s not always canny
But sometimes words just die in vain
Just die in vain
And when the last of day is over
You gonna miss me when you’re gone
At times the wind turns roses sober
Just know me waiting ‘til you come
‘Til you come
The autumn leaves are falling swiftly
As our sky turns dark and grey
Are the tides again all shifting
Do we really have no say
Just have no say
So let your wit be your witness
Too much left too much left to lose
But then one day behold my mistress
When she returns still in her shoes
Still in her shoes
And when the last of day is over
You gonna miss you when you’re gone
At times the wind turns roses sober
Just know me waiting ‘til you come
‘Til you come

El Viento

El Viento
Once I was thinking
That it is time to stay
In a save and friendly harbour
On a paved way
But the wind, it kept blowing
Not always my way
And without ever knowing
Aloft and away
Which way the wind blows
Which way the wind blows
On a deserted island
Somewhere in the endless sea
The sun, it was still shining
For you and for me
But the wind, it kept blowing
Not always our way
And without ever knowing
Aloft and away
Which way the wind blows
Which way the wind blows
The anchor is lifted
The gentle breeze, it grows
The ship, it sails
In which way the wind blows
Which way the wind blows
Which way the wind blows
Donde sopla el viento
Donde sopla el viento
Which way the wind blows

As I Am

As I Am
Leaves were falling-summer had slowly gone
And I still stood there, quietly
The wheel was turning into a darker sun
And I just waited, patiently
Cold water dripping out of the darkest grey
To wash away every hoping shine in me
Thunder howling, trying to hold sway
But there was always your fire burning brighter in me
And as the sun sank down into deep snow
And my self appeared not able to be going anywhere
And as the day began to turn into a night of cold
You didn’t left me all by myself I swear
No I, don’t know if I really know your name
And I, I am constantly failing
But you, you stayed always the same
And led me thankful, underserving
As I am

I Got Love

I Got Love
You let me carry
Your heavy low
And say don’t worry
Your time will come
Through many miles
Away from home
I never reached
The promise dome
Why wait any longer
Time’s running away
I don’t belong here
So I say
I got love
Feeling all right
What else do I need
To get through the night
Oh, you speak quite often
About family
It is so important
You assure me
But when it comes to giving
You got things to do
Of even greater importance
They appear now to you
Why wait for you any longer
Time is running away
Maybe you don’t belong here
And so I say
Oh I got love
Feeling all right
What else do I need
To get through the night
And so I go
You stay where you are
With all your profit
Stuck in the tar
And your load you’ll carry
All by yourself
And why should you worry
You still got your wealth
And I can’t waiting longer
‘Cause time’s running away
Guess I never belong here
And so I say
Oh, I got love
Feeling all right
What else do I need
To get through the night

The Beggar

The Beggar
If I were a beggar
You would be a beggar’s wife
Even though our little kingdom
Wouldn’t be more
Than bread and knife
If I were a singer
The one that never hits a tone
You would be my only fan
I’d sing of feelings that before
I’d never known
If I were a poet
And my words would hardly rhyme
You would be the little sonnet
That appeared
Suddenly in my mind
Oh, if I were just me
And you were just you
We would be lying together
In a love as sweet as true
If I were a doctor
That rarely came back home
You would be staying awake
Until the ringing
Of the phone
If I were a patient
For whom there will be no wonder
You would be my dear last friend
That stayed until
I’m over yonder
If I were just me
And you were just you
We would be together
In a love as sweet as true
Don’t know where we’re heading
Don’t have a clue where we will be
But I know I am dear holding
Every You
That’s here for me
And I never met
Anyone as true
And I guess I never will
Meet anybody more to me
Than darling, you
If I were just me
And you were just you
We would be together
In a love as sweet as true
And even when
All roses (should) fade
I would hold you in my arms
Until the end
Of time and date

Spring Song
Is there a way
To drive the fray
To sounds of fair tone
Where clouds have all gone
Spring song
Spring song
In these nights full of fences
Can we leap over trenches
And rest where we find
Beauty, soul, boundless mind
Spring time
Spring time
Then a new day could rise
Where there would be no disguise
Where we all could be as one
Under one common sun
Spring song
Spring song

Meet Me In The Waters
Do you feel sometimes
These thoughts that remind
A quest for some other kind of line
Just breaches out at times
Another chapter
Another page
Another story
Another age
Meet me in the waters
In one of seven seas
Where the wind blows steady
Where the soul is free
Meet me in the waters
Under a clear blue sky
Where truth and freedom gather
In reflections of bright light
And in your dreams sometimes
An ocean of blue light
That’s how your heart is telling you
What your soul longs to do
Another chapter
Another page
Another story
Another age
Meet me in the waters
In one of seven seas
Where the wind blows steady
Where the soul is free
Meet me in the waters
Under a clear blue sky
Where truth and freedom gather
In reflections of bright light
Meet me in the waters
