Beautiful One
Your hair shines in the sun I wish I'd never left The wind intwines our hair Our words get swept through the air I wish I never left Your face shines in my eyes Our last look before our goodbye I wish I never left Beautiful One You shine like the sun I wish I never left Before I have said You are the one You are the one Your sun will come and go But its beauty will keep its glow I wish your rays would shine over me Keep filling me with your beauty I wish I never left I wish I never left 02. Witnesses
No change no pleasure no jokes no sex
No choice no morals no ethics no depth No colour no fight no freedom no life Profound creation, temptation is swept I hear knocking on my door I wonder how it's possible That I just sit here in my room Watching some TV Thinking of nothing and nothing And I don't know how Does anybody have the nerve To come to my door And sell the world of God I wonder what's the remedy And I can move on with my life Before you people are through With the extinction of the universe You save the world from me I wonder who will be left over... 03. Yalin
My friend she's gone away
And left us here to stay And I understand I do You write and think of her About whatever may occur We ask the clouds in the sky We do When you were here you didn't fit us When you passed over it hit us You are the one who knew The only hidden truth We write and think of her About whatever may occur We ask the clouds in the sky We do When you were here you didn't fit us When you passed over it hit us You are the one who knew The only hidden truth Thirty-four and I am only beginning to understand What this is all about Do you think you will be able To forgive me? Do you? 04. Day After Yesterday
Today is the day after yesterday
And yesterday didn't go so well My love came down and assured me: Sit down I have something to tell When I met you my eyes hurt That is how beautiful you are I don't suppose I could feel this way If I'd still have you by my side By my side I did not anticipate your candour Even though I didn't know you too well They say one door closed another door open But these door is leading me straight to hell When I met you my eyes hurt That is how beautiful you are I don't suppose I could feel this way If I'd still have you by my side By my side I'm just broken up I'm caving in That is how tired I am I don't suppose I could feel all this way... 05. My Girl
My hands are tied
I'm on your side You are my girl I hold your hand And understand You are my girl, my girl She has to learn To walk on artificial grass They have to earn Her love Your big embrace Has kept me in this place My girl And when we changed We did not lose our faces My girl She has to learn To walk on artificial grass They have to earn Her love Now all is said and done My friend We're growing up And now that we are What we have become I still don't know Sometimes She has to learn To walk on artificial grass They have to earn her love 06. Take Care Of Me
Hush in my hands
There's not a thing ever so precious Than you in my hands you can never let me leave you So please Take care of me Hail in my hands The euphoric feel will never part with me I spend my time in your hands I'm as in love as I am tired So please Take care of me 07. Ice Water
I shield you from this life
Your heart is kept on ice I file you where I need And keep you from the heat Running, running away You hold me in contempt Forever will I depend? You file me where you need But never kept me from the heat Falling, falling away (I shield you, I shield you away On the surface, on the surface) It's always cold in hell I have felt it, I can tell They file you where they need In ice water there is no heat Burning, burning away (I shield you, I shield you away On the surface, on the surface) Burning, burning away Burning, burning away 08. You Are Nice!
You are nice!
Oh, you are nice Paradise I say it only twice Man, you are nice Your skin soft like veil Warm but pale Oh, you are great Fascinating I'll blow you out of my mind Damn, you are fine Your skin soft like veil Warm but pale Oh, you are sweet Sweep me off my feet Oh, you are nice Para-holy-dise I'll say it only twice Man, you are nice Your skin soft like veil Warm but pale Oh, you are sweet Sweep me off my feet 09. Trail Of Grief
Mister I cannot read you
Your eyes are clouds of mist Well well, how can I heed you? I wish you did not exist Uncover me I hail to see Your mystic trail of grief It's funny how my heart feeds On overload It will never lead me though I am just too old For this game I bear to see Your mystic trail of grief Uncover me Uncover me 10. Come Wander With Me
He said
Come wander with me, Love Come wander with me Away from this sad world Come wander with me He came from the sunset He came from the sea He came from my sorrow And can love only me Oh where is the wanderer Who wandered this way He's passed on his wandering And will never go away He sang of a sweet love Of dreams that would be But I was sworn to another And could never be free 11. Sunken Soldiers Ball
I can't go home
I cannot sleep I cannot give I cannot keep This heart of stone has left me here With only rumors of your left I guess to see you leaving was for the best I drink too much and spend my days Like a sailor lost at sea And you were like a mermaid in that Danish fairytale I guess the best thing that I could do is to sail Away from this sunken soldiers ball Away, do you remember me at all? I have no better words than "Thank you and goodbye" I wish I didn't have to see our love die At last I'm home My horse will rest This tattoed heart This trembling chest must be alone And carry this sorrow back to bed I hope there was no innocent blood shed Away from this sunken soldiers ball Away, do you remember me at all? I have no better words than "Thank you and goodbye" I wish I didn't have to see our love die 12. Lost And Found
I sit in your chair
You are aware of me and my life You speak of words that are unheard of Though many await your time The Belgian men with the Dutch accent You are a shining star Your hands, they reach through all of our lives This far in the universe you are You are, you are, you are The hardest thing in the world is to speak my fears I am afraid to let go My beautiful boys, I love you the most With you I share my life in joy In joy, in joy, in joy I sit in your chair The room that we are in is filled with people from the past It's you who cares and all that I live for Is to have a home that lasts A home, a home, a home 13. Asleep
Come in, my love
Tell me, and I'll come with you To these lovely places And I will believe in you When you are asleep |
