Songs:
Your dreams are made of glass They're fragile like a Cristmas-tree ball and when you ever ask if this is really all there's to it I think you knew it's going Down, down, it is going down breathe, freeze, it's a cold, cold breeze Round, round, only turning round Run, run, death and life are one. Your wishes are of smoke they vanish high in the air and when you ever hope that something was really there It's gonna fool you gonna cool you - going Down, down, it is going down breathe, freeze, it's a cold, cold breeze Round, round, only turning round Run, run, death and life are one. Daylight and nighttime Moonrise, wind is white, and shadows fly But we are ground bound and it takes power to die Ocean waves and quiet lakes Rainy days and ways that end - in vanished lands a beach of sand we're ground bound Run, run, death and life are one |
There's fall outside and fall in me and fall is on the windowpane The storm's getting cold, the clouds look bold the sun tries lighting life in vain A little candle's burning tall and flickers shadows upon the wall No, life, I own no peace in fall for love is lord of all and often when our music plays I feel the moon like spotlight shine Reflecting the challenge of those days when your life was a part of mine I hear a whisper in the fire the voice of wisdom is nice and calm We had it all, despair and desire and life is really lord of all |
Someone offers you a life And says: I won't tell you how long it'll be It may be as long as a hundred years It may be as short as an hour. There are things we got no words for Some things don't fit in a word You ask him: What is life? He says: It ain't time. You ask how much it is And he disappears. There are things we got no words for Some things don't fit in a word |
Ave Maria
gratia plena dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus Sancta Maria Sancta Maria, Maria ora pro nobis nobis peccatoribus nunc et in hora in hora mortis nostrae Amen Amen |
Manchmal ist alles zu Ende gedacht Und von den Sternen tropft Zeit Von jedem Baum fällt ein Traum in die Nacht Wie Licht in die Dunkelheit Erst kommt ein Blinder, der findet ihn nicht Dann kommt ein Weiser und fällt Nun kommt ein Wunsch, und er bringt ihn ans Licht, Doch er zerbricht an der Welt So viele Wunden kann man nicht sehn So viele Stunden, vielleicht nie geschehn Warum hat Gott uns die Liebe gezeigt Sie ist so weit, viel zu weit Leben ein Hauch, wie der Wind in dem Wald Nichts lässt er so, wie es ist Alles wird neu, und doch ist es so alt, Dass es die Erde vergisst. Dann kann man alles auf einmal verstehn Zeit ist ein Fluss, der uns treibt Nur in der Ruhe kann etwas entstehn, Etwas, das immer so bleibt. So viele Dinge kann man dann sehn, So viele Wege sind wieder zu gehn So viel geschieht und ist dort nie geschehn So viele Welten vergehn Es gibt ein Tor in die andere Zeit In einen Strom, der uns weiter treibt Und der macht, dass auf dieser Welt nichts so bleibt Ja, gestern ist immer vorbei. |
Everyone gone, I'm all alone they're all somehow sad, though nothing's really bad Joy in their eyes- pain hidden inside No talk for relief, smiles to cover the grief It's in vain, it is sad and it hurts really bad But spite won't let love die I feel too blue to cry And the night, it'll weep for me It's a good way to find emptiness left behind But pride is no aid, I feel used, thrown away When you were still there, I thought someone would care But my hope was your toy, which you love to destroy It's in vain, it is sad and it hurts really bad But spite won't let love die I feel too blue to cry So the sky, it'll weep for me Just the sky, it'll weep with me |
We must go through our lives On a road, once narrow, once wide With an aim we don't know and we don't see We don't know how long it is Can't foresee its woe or bliss We don't know where the end of it will be Along our time we go speeding fast or going slow We are driven towards an unknown land We must reach our final home and we'll go there all alone On a path, steep or straight or winding in bends It is all we know for certain It is all we know for sure Sometimes there's no final curtain Sometimes too much to endure Then there's nothing else to long for Nothing left that we might need Maybe nothing to be strong for Nowhere the old road will lead Maybe pain and fear and sorrow,there's a way to flee tomorrow So let the living mourn When the dying are reborn We can't live in a world that's not our own Life is borrowed and is lent And must be returned in the end To the queens of eternity's mighty throne See the beauties on the way, try to see them every day For tomorrow we might no longer stay |
Floating Sometimes I feel like a motherless breeze -a daffodil seed -a balloon without ground -a symphony sound a long way from home Visions Sometimes I look like a flower in the rain - an idea without aim -a letter in the wind -a saint who has sinned A long way from life Dreaming Sometimes I dream of a doublefaced moon -of a life behind stars -of voices as bars A long way from love a long way from home |
All those hours - feel when they are passing precious moments - we cannot see them move But they won't return Time's running quietly It won't come back You cannot store it in a sack All those long days - we didn't see they won't last Endless seasons - fading away so soon and they won't return Stop living tomorrow You won't catch it today It is always ahead of you anyway What are we always running after What do we really want to find It'll be too late after leaving so many useless hours behind Wasting our time away by searching Looking for what we do not lack This very moment will be over in a second Then there's no way to get it back Life is a million of these moments and they're all you ever really own Don't let impatience take them from you Follow the road that leads you home. What do you want - what do you really want Time will not return |
Gib uns den Frieden am Ende der Zeit Mach den Himmel und die Erde bereit Lang ist der Weg in die Ewigkeit Niemand versteht's, doch die Welt weiß Bescheid Bald ist der Himmel nicht mehr so blau Und die Sonne hört auf zu scheinen Dunkel der Mond und der Wald nur grau Und es regnet nie mehr, es gibt keinen. Frieden ist dort, wo der Atem der Welt so als Wind in den Bäumen den Vögeln gefällt Sing mir ein Schlaflied zur ewigen Ruh Kleiner Vogel, du weißt es nicht, ich hör dir zu. Die Zweige und Blätter im Abendlicht sind ein Lächeln, das ewige Liebe verspricht Sie raunen: Die Welt, sie kann ohne uns sein Doch sie läßt uns auch nie allein. Die Dunkelheit nimmt dich in ihren Arm ganz ohne Grimm und ganz leise Sie zeigt dir die Sterne, sie kennt keinen Harm und alles macht Sinn und scheint weise. Gib uns den Frieden am Ende der Zeit Mach den Himmel und die Erde bereit Lang ist der Weg in die Ewigkeit Niemand versteht's, doch die Welt weiß Bescheid |
Another grey day passes Rain washing away the nightmares The air is fresh outside and cold Heaven's tears clean up the ways for us to go again The trees are sighing softly Winds blowing away the nightmares The air is strong outside and tender Hell is trying to warm up life in vain The fires whisper warmth Gleams burning away the nightmares Smoke curling up outside so spicey Dancing shapes are celebrating spite |
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne. For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne, And there's a hand, my trusty friend And gie's a hand o' thine! Let's take a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne |
Sometimes I sit in a corner and cry Sometimes I like it, but I don't know why Feeling alone, thinking of the past of things that are gone, and of things that can't last Sometimes - some precious, marvellous, magic times. Sometimes I sit in a corner and see your face and your body right in front of me Forgetting what we lacked, I recall what was fine All things turn better when they're no longer mine Sometimes - some precious, marvellous, magic times. Now I don't want to meet you, you must have grown old Don't wreck my dreaming or turn my memories cold Life ain't worth a damn without wishes any more What's the use of hearts that have never been sore Sometimes I sit in a corner and cry It could have been different, but there's no reason why Sometimes I find that my memory's grown cold and then I get up and I feel I've grown old. Sometimes - some precious, marvellous, magic times. |
Kaltes Licht - scheint auf mein Gesicht Deine Stimme tröstet nicht Alles fort was einmal war Und doch war es nie so wahr. Was ist wichtig, was macht Sinn? Wo bist du wo ich nicht bin? Zukunft ist Vergangenheit Und der Weg allein zu weit. Zauber aus der Unterwelt der mein Herz gefangen hält Bann, der macht, daß nichts mehr geht, die Welt, wie du, sich nicht mehr fortbewegt. Alles endet, was beginnt Schauder durch die Seele rinnt Ohnmacht brandet gegen Haut Leere Welt und dunkler Mond wohin man schaut. Was auch immer du noch willst Wie auch immer du dich fühlst Paradies ist Zeit, die steht. Und die Schatten flüstern leis: "Zu spät..." Hör' nicht zu - Finde Ruh - |
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. And if you come, when all the flowers are dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me. I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me. |
