one more waltz
03:27
|
|||
the fat lady sings
and the boxing ring bell rings
these days we just email
she’ll pick up her things
and the moon is climbing high
in the black twinkling sky
my head turns cartwheels
a shooting star flies
did she run in slow-mo
into a new embrace?
as I feel as though I lost
the human race
it's not the ending I expected at all
dans la vie la fin est le commencement
in a circle we dance
we waltz our final waltz
she told me i deserve
so much better than her
that i should be with grace
‘cause she laughs & creates
and she said
i want babies and you never meditate
i said i want that too
but it seemed to be too late
and she said
you got no money since you moved to aldgate
but my waters tell the truth
from excuses people make
there were facts she seemed to ignore
we'd be friends if she gave it to me straight
said there's someone i love more
and this is our final waltz
and thank god she did
or where would we be?
maybe somewhere better
it’s impossible to see
maybe somewhere worse
it’s all turned out great
just not as i rehearsed
almost time to shoot
but you just kicked off your shoes
you said
I don't want to dance in heels
i know how it feels
to be safe in your arms
and feel your heart by my heart
hear that voice enchant me
and i said
I'm so lucky that life lead me here
danced a clumsy pirouette
i shed a tear
you don't need to explain tears of joy
as the ocean bears gifts of love
and one more waltz

whatever you do in life
it all starts with a dream
if you travel
meet someone
or fall in love
have children
it all starts with a dream
a message from my heart
broadcast to my head
be the light or be the mirror
everything starts with...
everything starts with a dream
i have a little book
and i write them down inside
and I go down to the streets
you might gather or walk by
and i sing of where i’ve been
and where i started out
i had no idea my first step would lead me here
everything starts with….
everything starts with a dream
ahhh...
every story has a start
a middle and an end
it’ll never be too late
provided that i never wait
for time or miracle
and if I dream of thicker skin
it’s because I’m feeling pain
but it’s not over till i win
it’s a message from my heart
broadcast to your head
as you’re heading to the bar
or maybe meet a friend
take a quick look through my lens
i’m winning if you smile
i’ll sing until I’m cleansed
i’m winning when you smile
everything starts with……
everything starts with...
everything starts with a dream
oooohhh
everything starts with...
everything starts with......
everything starts with a dream
ooohh
everything starts with a dream

sacrificial rock
04:20
|
|||
the priest released doves to power of love
frankie goes to hollywood
me banging down the church door
screaming out your name
even the choir cried
in a parallel life you married the wrong guy
something changed your mind
i searched for years
one who seeks will find
i had kneeled on a florentine chapel floor
and watched old stories oozing from painted walls
i had never had a god
but the atmosphere had me change my prayer
for the coming year
and a boy soprano in the bright reverb
sang hallelujah!
we met in berlin at open mic
i had a girlfriend at the time
you changed your world against my best advice
you said, ‘i’ll never change my mind’
i love you more than sharks love blood
predictable you always surprise me
i'd given up on love
i had prayed i never fall in love again
but here i am chained to the sacrificial rock
i had never had a god but something talks to me
when you touch my face, when you are near
when i had a hard day and i come home to you
hallelujah!
hallelujah!!
is love the heaven of a false religion?
a dance on my own grave?
no one sings the hymn as loud as the convert
be loved be saved
i don't believe in fate
it turned on a moment we never knew we had
a contradiction i can trace it back
i had prayed i never fall in love again
but here i am chained to the sacrificial rock
i had never had a god but something fills me up
biblical rain into a carpenter's cup
heavenly feelings in my earthly guts
hallelujah!
i flew to you across the north atlantic
woke up in your arms

gold ring
05:06
|
|||
when i was out there driving all alone
i often would until i met a certain francophone
ghostly apparitions ride there in the shotgun seat
softly whisper ideas, hopes and dreams to me
through the olive trees
by the Adriatic sea
you star in my best memories
life is a gold ring
some funny jewellers look down their nose
others know they deal in love and help you choose
i chose a single diamond to represent a love
remind us of our memories for many moons
let us be in tune
while we travel sleep and sing
facing what life brings
let’s deck the barn in bunting
i’ll give you this gold ring
i asked your papa’s blessing, told him my surprise
your sister played detective for your finger’s size
our playlist in my ears and old scenes in my minds eye
i knew in my heart you’d want to live your life with me
we drove through evergreens
your surprise to me
a night inside an airstream
i went down on one knee
roses red and pretty
i gave you this gold ring
life is is a gold ring
i give you my gold ring

i saw a shooting star
03:18
|
|||
this is your life
until the moment ends
i heard a little voice
trying to tell me something
i hope you see your friends
see your family
i hope love is with you
and your tree is pretty
this is your life
until the moment's passed
i saw a shooting star
there!
where the clouds part
snow is falling down
they’re skating in the park
i hope we build a snowman
you catch a snowflake on your tongue
these are our lives
until the moment’s gone
i heard a little voice
and the voice was trying to ask me something
is there someone special there?
does sunlight dance upon their hair?
before we’re Christmas ghosts
can try to make the most
i know i’m lucky now
i haven’t always been
everything can change
please don’t change back again
this is your life until the moment ends
i hear a little voice
and the voice is always saying something

our little place
04:01
|
|||
i know a little place
it’s close to being free
i miss my little sisters
and drinking whiskey with their misters
but this city sings to me
i know a little place
the man tried to divide
there are places to survive
that the guide books can’t describe
and a wall that now unites
there are tears
and the love of lovers
these moments
are treasures
nothing lasts forever
don’t leave
always on my mind
when I’m leaving
is coming back again
i know a little place
where hearts and minds run free
alice is here with me
she says
the people run this city
but this city‘s running me
there are tears
and the love of lovers
these moments
are treasures
nothing lasts forever
don’t leave
always on my mind when I’m leaving
is coming back again
again
i know a little place
there’s music in the streets
in summer they sing all hours
we call it warschauer
come sit
drink a beer with me

listen to your soul
03:37

there’s a boy
in your heart
or a girl

sees the world with
eyes of wonder
eats with you
sleeps with you

be good company
that boy’s your soul
boy
that girl’s your soul
girl
we can’t be separated
soul
my little soul
listen
if you listen
where there’s will there’s a way
where there’s will there’s a way
show me the will
i’ll show you the way
where there’s will there’s a way
where there’s will there’s a way
show me the will
i’ll show you the way
where there’s will there’s a way
where there’s will there’s a way
show me the will
i’ll show you the way
that’s what my soul would say
that boy’s your soul
boy
that girl’s your soul
girl
we can’t be separated

daddy
03:07
|
|||
i'm leaving
for a couple of weeks
please stay with us
and when i'll be back
i'll tell you beautiful stories
and you'll travel through them too
oh daddy would you take the road with me?
let's pack the car and drive unto the sea
like we used to do
all the family
we always went crazy when the breeze turned salty
you taught us
how to see the good in everything
in everyone
you told me
help your little sisters
you'll always be there
for each other
oh daddy would you take the road with me?
let's pack the car and drive unto the sea
like we used to do
all the family
we always went crazy when the breeze turned salty
life would be so empty
without a family
life would be so empty
without a family
life would be so empty
without a family
how my life would have been
without my family?

love is blind

daydreaming
about us
our future
getting carried away
a ride in my brain
our first date
first kiss
first christmas
first holiday
our first place
i turned my head and you were staring at me
was i dreaming out loud or were you right here with me?
i look at you
and i hope
that i look
like you look
when you look
at someone when you like them
i like you
and i'm looking for a sign
that
if i say hi
you won't avert your eyes
love is blind
dreamer here is blind
you look my way
but i was busy in my daydream
ahhhh
love is blind
i drink so much coffee
to see you
in your cafe
i go out of my way
love is
fine art
it all starts with a pencil outline
saying hi works just fine
i turned my head and you pretended to work
i pretended too
i was looking at the woodwork
i look at you
and i hope
that i look
like you look
when you look
at someone when you like them
i like you
and i'm looking for a sign
if i ask you on a date
it's appropriate
love is blind
casanova here is blind
you looked my way
but i was busy in my daydream
ahhhh
love is blind

to carolin from lukas
01:45
|

with your ginger hair
and your green blue eyes
what did I do in my previous life
to deserve to find the girl of my dreams
at the tender age of fifteen
and now i’m seventeen
my heart’s been full
since the day we met at the outdoor pool
i love your smileand your voice is like chimes
and when i pray to god
i praise your design
caroline the times I spend with you feel so right
caroline I dream I spend my day with a girl like you every night
it’s so special when we meet
i’m the luckiest guy in germany
the luckiest guy in the world
when i’m with you my beautiful girl
when you give me a hug
or say hello
(hello)
i don’t know where my worries go
when we’re in the same room it feels so nice
you’re the best ever thing about my life
caroline the times I spend with you feel so right
caroline I dream I spend my days with a girl like you every night

eggs and toast
01:11
|
|||
i wake up in the morning
and i go to the fridge
there’s something yummy in there
can you guess what it is?
they’re so versatile
you can prepare them a hundred ways
they make me smile
they are sunshine on cloudy days
eggs for me and a piece of toast
eggs for me and a piece of toast
i can scramble
i can boil
i can fry in olive oil
i can poach
i can bake
they never give me tummy ache
i want a runny one
dribbling down my piece of toast
my girl wants a hard one
she's got a bun in the oven
eggs for her
eggs for me
eggs for you
what a treat!?!
organic
free range
eggs and toast to start the day!
eggs for me and a piece of toast
eggs for me and a piece of toast
eggs for me and a piece of toast
eggs for me and a piece of toast
yeaaaah!

vortex
03:57
|

i’m sorry that I stood you up
i said i’d meet you at the coconut
i was gridlocked in the evening rush
near shepherds bush
i should've turned back up the junction
so I couldn’t come
i couldn’t come
but listen
i really tried
i really tried
i was on my way
but i was
sucked into this vortex
i’m sorry that
i didn’t go
to your brother's roller disco
you made out to me i had to go
so i didn't show
'cause i won’t follow orders if i have them
so i couldn’t come
i wouldn’t come
but listen
i really tried
i really tried
i was on my way
but i was
sucked into this vortex
oooooh
i’m sorry that
i didn’t come
to our wedding or reception
i was captured by some aliens
with their laser guns
and they’d have melted my brain
had i tried to run
so I couldn’t come
I couldn’t come
but listen
i really tried
i really tried
i was on my way
but i was
sucked into a vortex
i really tried
i really tried
i was on my way
but i was
sucked into a vortex

you can tell
03:36
|
|||
yes i’ve sometimes hurt the ones i love doing things i think i need to
you can tell so much about a person by the way they leave you
everyone leaves eventually
evidently you’re ghosting me
and i wouldn’t care but i’d like to share the love with an amiga
you can tell so much about a person by the way they leave ya
our lives are brief and some die young so i’m asking for redemption
and i know you’re listening to my pleas
please call and break the tension
everyone leaves eventually
evidently you’re ghosting me
but it’s hard to win when you can’t convince your foes to discontinue
you can tell so much about a person by the way they leave you
i have so much i’d like to tell you
everything i’ve been through
you can tell so much about a person by the way they leave you
