Songs:
I wish I was a mermaid At the bottom of the sea With all those cute young fishermen diving after me. I wish i could just float I wish I could just be And anyway nobody would believe in seeing me Come along, let uf float, let us be free I wish I was a phoenix soaring in the air With all the winds caressing me but I don't really care. I wish I could just rise I wish I could just be And then again nobody would believe in seeing me Come along, let us glide let us be free I wish i was a song in a great composer's mind With all the people in the world listening all the time I wish I could just sound A voice I want to be And sometimes haunt them to make sure they are not forgetting me. Come along, do resound, let us be free I wish I was a clear palantir in a wizard's hand He would believe what I foresee And he would be a friend. I wish then I could show him what is going to be And if he did all right he were to see what I can see Come along, let us know, let us be free. |
Save up the shadows from a lonely night For a day when the sun is shining hot and too bright Save up the shadows from a lonely night Sometimes it can be good to feel bad Save up the shadows from a lonely night For a day when the sun is shining hot and too bright In a strange kind of life tears don't have to dry they come streaming & their meaning makes you smile And I say Save up the shadows from a lonely night For a day when the sun is shining hot and too bright What good is happiness and nothing more What is it when there ain't a thing to long or crave for What good is happiness - can be a bore Sometimes it can be bad to feel good Save up the shadows from a lonely night For a day when the sun is shining hot and too bright In a strange kind of life tears don't have to dry they come streaming & their meaning makes you smile It's good to feel bad |
You tried to buy me for a bunch of lies Somethingâs gone wrong with our lives Canât understand why you want to stay There ainât no reason and there ainât no way Donât talk me into things, itâs in vain Donât get on my nerves, donât drive me insane Cause Iâm nobodyâs fool, Iâm gonna keep my cool Get out of here, we canât go on, we canât go on like that. There were times when you came to me Told me you wanted to talk to me Wanted me to listen and to be There and I tried to tell you what I could see then you slam the door if I donât agree It seems you only like to fight with me But: Iâm nobodyâs fool, Iâm gonna keep my cool Sort of feel we canât go on, we canât go on like that. Staying around was just a waste of time Your way of thinking is too far from mine Though sometimes you even try to be nice & once in a while pretend to ask my advice Just to change my mind, I can tell Why canât you shut up and go to hell See: Iâm nobodyâs fool, Iâm gonna keep my cool. bad |
Time is spinning like my head, it's moving round and round round and round it moves, and up and down Life is spinning like my time, it's moving round and round round and round it goes and up and down Time, time, where've you gone, I won't come along Time, where have you gone - Leave me alone The past is spinning in my mind, it's moving round and round round and round it moves, and up and down Where have all the flowers gone and the memories of some round and round they move and up and down Time, time, where've you gone, I won't come along Time, where have you gone - Leave me alone My brain is spinning like my life, moving round and round Up and down, left and right, round and round and nowhere All the world a spinning wheel, turning round and round Messy threads are on the ground and dance for me Will I ever pick them up and weave a net for fortune that's turned me down and turned around to spin its own ideas Will they wrap their tentacles around eternity I know what they are made of, but what is their destiny Time,time, I know you've gone but I won't come along Time, where have you gone - Leave me alone |
FALL and RISE
Fall and rise - fall and rise At night the sun falls in the sea And the night falls down on me and the world falls into sleep something's rising in a dream Some things rise when others fall There's no time to have them all What is leaving, who will call What is rising from this fall? In fall the leaves fall off the trees And cold rain falls down on me Then snow falls on the mistletoe And icy fog hides what I know Watch it move and watch it go Something's rising and will grow Some things rise when others fall There's no time to have them all What is leaving, who will call What is rising from this fall? All life must fall in time Something's rising in my mind The world is falling, I stay here I feel it somehow disappear It is a show, it's no more real It won't touch me, that's the deal And everything's away some day Something's rising, anyway. Some things rise when others fall There's no time to have them all What is leaving, who will call What is rising from this fall? Something's rising Fall and rise - fall and rise |
It's of a pretty female As you may understand. Her mind it went off rambling into some foreign land, She dressed herself in manly clothes, Or so it does appear, And she hired with a captain To serve him for a year. The captain's wife sh'd been on board, She seemed in great joy To think the captain had engaged Such a handsome cabin boy, That now and then she'd fling him a kiss, And she would have liked to toy, But 'the captain found out the secret Of the handsome cabin boy. Her cheeks they were like roses red And her hair lay in a curl. The sailors often smiled and said she looked just like a girl. But eating of the captain's biscuits Her colour did destroy, And the waist did swell of pretty Nell, The handsome cabin boy. It was in the bay of Biscay Our goddamn ship did plow. One night among the sailors Was a fearful scurrying row. They tumbled from their hammocks For their sleep it did destroy, And they swore about the groaning Of the handsome cabin boy. "Oh doctor, dear, oh doctor," The cabin boy did cry. "My time has come, I am undone, And surely I will die." The doctor come a-runnin' And a-smilin' at the fun. To think a sailor lad should have A daughter or a son. The sailors when they saw the joke They all did stand and stare. The child belonged to none of them, They solemnly did swear. The captain's wife, she said to him, "My dear, I wish you joy, For 'tis either you or me's betrayed The handsome cabin boy!" Now each man take your tot of rum And drink success to trade, And likewise to the cabin boy That was neither man nor maid. Here's hoping the wars don't rise again Our sailors to destroy, And here's hoping for a jolly lot more like the handsome cabin boy |
You go because you say you must be on your own I'm sort of in your way and I'm gonna be alone You never said you would stay, and you never stopped to roam I had thought it was OK, as long as you came back home Now all things have changed, & without you they're strange I'll get used to it, there was more to get over There were things I had seen that have never been real Cause you were never really my lover So what I wish for the future, & what I wish for you Is: May your dreams come true All your dreams You were always a dreamer, once high up or low down & I couldn't rely on your smile or your frown You forgot me and later you remembered me by But I loved you around and I didn't care why We won't have to break up, we'll just be apart It is sure gonna be hard to get over But I'll manage to make it, I'll be able to take it Cause you were never really my lover And what I wish for the future and what I wish for you Is: May your dreams come true All your dreams If you 're leaving for good, you see tears in my eyes Go ahead where you came, I don't want to hear lies Some day you'll be old and perhaps even wise Keep the time that we spent in your heart , it was nice & if you should seek to see me next week You just make up your mind and come over We'll drink tea and we'll smile and pretend for a while to forget you were never my lover |
Big dark clouds are flying around rain starts falling on the ground winds caress the swaying trees they dance and sing and clap their leaves the pubs get full and the streets deserted and inside the folks are singing, I heard it they go: nanananananananana... 'cause the rain is warm like the summer wind the rain is warm in a summer storm. The rhythm of the thunder beats like a rocksong through the empty streets and the wind is wailing a tune of trance on the edges of the garden fence in the flashlight-show of the thunderstorm the shadow-ghosts appear and they dance along. they go: nanananananananana... 'cause the rain is warm like the summer wind the rain is warm in a summer storm. In a summer storm all the world is swinging in a summer storm every thing is singing All of nature is rocking and the mood is good and the rain is just warm in a summer storm |

I tried to take a short vacation And I went through a land I had lost It was a mystic revelation When I remembered forgotten thoughts And I was so much in the mood for missing you when I saw the beauty of this world I was going through I saw your eyes before me, the color of the sky But I realized you weren't there and I fell in the mood to cry Just tried to take a short vacation I never came back, 'cause I got lost turned out a mystic revelation I couldn't find you there in my thoughts And I just keep on moving It was a sky like silk and satin Pastel the colored world under mist the setting sun paints clouds of fire Canals reflect it through the black trees & I was so much in the mood for loving you when I saw the magic of the world I was going through I saw you right before me, as if you were close by but I realized it wasn't true, and I fell in the mood to cry And I still keep on moving, moving through my time you keep on moving |
When I hear Ihe sound of the falling rain Glimpse erratic drops on my windowpane Deep in their little light I see No peace of mind is inside me I want to lie down and take rest I wish there was a place to hide Why can't there be some fog around me I want to lie down I want to lie down on a misty meadow and take some rest When I find you standing at my door When I know what you're waiting for I feel somehow you're never free & I need time to be with me I want to lie down, take my time - I wish there was a place to hide Why can't there be some fog around me I want to lie down I want to lie down on a misty meadow and take some rest I want to lie down take some rest I want to lie down out of sight I want to lie down, take my time - I want to take my time to live I want to take my time to love I want to take my time to think I want to lie down I want to lie down on a misty meadow and take some rest |
