Songs:
I'm sitting here among my stuff with yet no place to go The walls are moving in on me the ceiling, too, I know. I can't get out, and I can't shout life is becoming slow and resignation waits outside and spite begins to grow I - can't lean on love or lie on the truth or ever believe in fate I - can't walk on love or fly on a dove or hope it is never getting late. Home is where the heart is Right now you find me Just sitting here among my stuff Can't help I'm feeling low The ground is dancing under me the ceiling starts to flow The sounds I hear, they turn to me they giggle and say: No! You set your sails in vain, because for you, no wind will blow. Can't be where my heart is ....... |
Dance like a leaf that is falling - - flying Dance like a leaf that is falling - - dance like a leaf See the dance of the last leal in fall - falling See the dance of the last ieaf in fall - flying See the dance of the last leaf in fall Don't turn around, don't turn me down Don't just drop me like a leaf in the alley Don't turn around, don't turn me down Don't just drop me like a leaf in the street I will fly away Dance like a leaf that is falling See the dance of the last leaf in fall Don't turn around, don't turn me down Don't just drop me like a leaf in the alley Don't turn around, don't turn me down Don't just drop me like a leaf in the street I will fly away If you drop me like a tree a leaf I will fly away |
What would you do if I weren't around What would you do on your own What would you do if noone came round Would you like being alone Would you forget me, or would it be bad Would you feel sad or blue Would you remember what we once had Just tell me: what would you do? 'Cause I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm leaving for good And I'm leaving you here all alone If it worries you none, I'm not saying it should, it's OK, but for sure I'll be gone What would you say if you just came in here nobody there any more Would you be happy, drink too much beer would you make love with a whore Don't really tell me, I don't want to know Nothing can stop me no more Come what may and what is coming my way Anyway, I'll close the door 'Cause I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm leaving for good And I'm leaving you here all alone If it worries you none, I'm not saying it should, it's OK, but for sure I'll be gone |
Once upon a time in a former life I must have been a fisherman's wife I remember the boat - I remember the load One day he was gone and I was alone five hundred years from now I was floating in a boat on the deep blue sea five hundred years from now but that wasn't really me Once upon a time I was a dragonfly danced along a lake in the deep blue sky Till the winter came and the snow fell down I fell into the water, it was cold I got drowned Five thousand years from now I was floating on a wave into the deep blue sea Five thousand years from now but that wasn't really me Once upon a time I was a fairy in a tree my friends were a bird, a wolf, a hermit, and a bee And the flowers all nodded their heads to me when a storm came up and took me to the sea. Five million years from now I was floating on the wind over the dep blue sea Five million years from now but it wasn't really me I've been so many things in so many times had a lot of lives while a cat has only nine In the next one I may be a star or its light I might never find which one was really mine. All through eternity I'll be floating on the wind over the deep blue sea All through eternity I'll be floating on a wave on the deep blue sea five hundred years from now I'll be floating on the wind over the deep blue sea Five thousand years from now I'll be floating on a wave on the deep blue sea Five million years from now I'll be floating on a boat on the deep blue sea All through eternity I'll be floating on the wind over the deep blue sea - until I know it's me |
One day Maggie was in a very gloomy mood When she looked into her mirror - and what she found was good and she fell in love with her image that day and that love was the root for the power of her hate in some weird way and she sensed she had to use op the people that she knew more than they'd been using her and worse than they would do and it wasn't even mean, it seemed justified For how could things be bad that worked for everyone and made her feel allright? She was dancing on the rim of a deep round well to the brassy sound of a glassy bell and a fire at the bottom was burning on It was nourished by passion and love that was gone There was heat in the air and a smoky cloud above and the giggles and the sighs of a couple making love and around there was a market, everybody tried to sell Maggie's mind and Maggie's body and a picture of the moment when she fell and the mirror said: You take what you can't get If you can't get esteem, you must have self - respect. and Maggie tried it out, it seemed to work a while But she was never tough, and fighting all alone just made her weak inside Noone cared about her in the way that she would need and what she really was was for them less than what she seemed and then she played with time and people and with truth and lies she tried to buy the world, but she was bought instead and even paid the price She was dancing on the rim of a deep round well to the brassy sound of a glassy bell and a fire at the bottom was burning on It was nourished by passion and love that was gone There was heat in the air and a smoky cloud above and the giggles and the sighs of a couple making love and around there was a market, everybody tried to sell Maggie's mind and Maggie's body and a picture of the moment when she fell She was loved by everybody like they love a child But cofusion isn't innocence, and dancing can turn wild She didn't know which way to go and tore her soul apart Life is strange without an aim, and chosing all directions had to crack her fragile heart. She was dancing on the rim of a deep round well to the brassy sound of a glassy bell and a fire at the bottom was burning on It was nourished by passion and love that was gone There was heat in the air and a smoky cloud above and the giggles and the sighs of a couple making love and around there was a market, everybody tried to sell Maggie's mind and Maggie's body, they were waiting that she fell She was dancing on the rim of a deep round well to the brassy sound of a glassy bell and a fire at the bottom was burning on It was nourished by passion and love that was gone There was heat in the air and a smoky cloud above and the giggles and the sighs of a couple making love and around there was a market, everybody tried to sell Maggie's mind and Maggie's body and a picture of the moment when she fell |
Do you believe in honesty Do you believe in lies Do you believe that you ore free Do you think you are wise Do you live in a world of ease Or in a world of cries And can there be eternal peace Or only war in disguise It's a new time coming With the feeling right back inside A new time coming - all the time Do you believe in fantasy Do you find life in sighs Do you believe in wishes And the lights in children's eyes Do you find joy in golden leaves Do you listen to the breeze Do you tell the age old trees The truth, whatever it is It's a new time coming With the feeling right back inside A new time coming - all the time The poets of the former times They used to have insights And now they're but complaining 'bout nothing they can find Do you care or never mind Do you know what to do Do you sometimes blame yourself For the times are always new and it's a new time coming for: The times are always new Do you put up with the old or see that the times are always new |
Are you going to fantasy fair Dreams, ideas, wishes, identities, time Remember me to one who lives there For he once was a true love of mine Tell him to build me a castle of thoughts Dreams, ideas, wishes, identities, time with lamps made of wisdom and shelves made of hopes And then he'll be a true love of mine Tell him to fill it with creatures of peace Dreams, ideas, wishes, identities, time And with carpets woven of old memories And then he'll be a true love of mine Tell him to paint it in colors of love Dreams, ideas, wishes, identities, time a banner of lyrics waving above And then he'll be a true love of mine O, will you find me a magical land Dreams, ideas, wishes, identities, time Where nothing's forgotten and things never end Or never be a true love of mine O, will you make it a festival place Dreams, ideas, wishes, identities, time And invite those we want and those we create Or never be a true love of mine And when you have done and finished your work Dreams, ideas, wishes, identities, time Then come to me and say the right word And you shall be a true love of mine. |
Early morning light, floating in so bright, until the next night I got to throw - got to through my dreams - Got to throw all my - all my dreams away. Sunshine coming in, too much on my skin, don't know where I've been try to remember - I forgot it - I don't remember, don't know where I've been. Waking up is hard to do Every morning I feel blue Seems the world is not yet true & I find dreams can't be real hard - taking a long - time to see that a dream cannot be real. Smoke from yesternoon, cold the incense fume, air inside the room it is too thick - full of left-overs Sounds of music slowly filling it, too. Turning back to be - in reality, boiling lots of tea & ist aroma - makes me feel - makes me feel, it makes me feel a lot better Waking up is hard to do Every morning I feel blue Seems the world is not yet true & I find dreams can't be real hard - taking a long - time to see that a dream cannot be real. Early morning light, morning in the night Dreams are shattered now, fragments on the grouond Morning being down, daytime rolling 'round Morning - morning - morning. |
When the daylights fade - time goes back When memories cast their shade - I feel I lack What I've been missing ever since And now I fear I might forget it When satisfaction lies in being dissatisfied It's good to know the waves around the good old days Are only sleeping, until a storm wakes them up again, & then It'll blow out the brains of intelligent systems It'll scatter all matters, it'll shrink every distance It'll weigh all the evil, it'll heap up the stars Only freedom escapes when kept behind bars When the lights are low & time takes rest It's good to say hello to a dear guest considered dead and gone, but there he is to make me see life can't be measured It is getting late - there's another dream Another date - another scream Waking another world inside eternity & outside minds or feelings It'll batter your faith in intelligent systems It'll shatter the glamour of virtual existence It'll blow up the truth, it'll breathe out new life It'll carry you back to make you survive & the wave it'll drive, it can wash, it can drown it is huge, it is mighty, takes you high, takes you down There'll be nothing to stop it, no way to escape No way to decide things, & no way to stay You'll get carried away....... |
Where are the gods you used to know Where are the gods for life Where have they gone, so far, so low, Don't feel their comfort, power, or drive Where are the gods of time and year Where are the ones from youth If they are gone, you won't stay here They took along the ease, the truth Cry, just cry And you might get a little closer by Where is the magic of the trees Or of the mighty mountains Where are the gods of deep blue seas Do you miss their whisper in the fountains Where are the gods of a lonely night Where are the gods of passion Where are the ones of summer moonlight Where is the soothing good agression Cry, just cry And you might get a little closer by Where are the gods that made love grow Where are those of your dreams Waiting for you, so go, just go Leavev what you got and follow a starbeam Cry, just cry And you might get a little closer by |
Last week I spent a holiday Upon an island far away the sun kept shining every day the nights so mild in every bay But then I had to go back home I'm homesick & I feel alone It's raining & the wind is blowing Reminds me of the sun that shone I wish I had a holiday I wish I could just get away I hate to think I got to stay when I consider the next day I wish I had a holiday I wish I could just get away I hate to think I got to stay I wish I had a holiday I was as happy as can be On that small island in the sea & every day I could be me Enjoy my time & feel so free But now I'm back at work again I can no longer go to swim I look outside & see the rain I got my memory on my brain Just take me where the sky is blue & nothing which I have to do where life is fun & joy is true Why don't you join me & come, too The next vacation I will spend Upon my island in the sand escape the daily round again Just come with me & take my hand |
When the bluebells start ringing you can hear the elves singing and they ring in a spring that is new When you hear them in fall it is winter they call and they ring in their end and sound blue. Blue little bell ring and tell me the tales about life and ist gales Blue little bell ring and tell me the tales of heavens and hells Well, the seasons go by We might stay for a while till the bells tell you why I leave you But you don't ever listen you don't ever know All the messages gone, but still true You don'thear them, you'l feel what they rang must come real they don't care what you think or don't do. |
