Faded And Gone
03:59
|
|||
You can ride with the wind
Paper over the pain
Sing the little mermaid’s hymn
You don’t fool this man again
Put your words in my mouth
Lick my paws for a while
Wear the finest Italian shoes
I will always recognize your style
Faded and gone
What you have given me
One by one
Nothing worth any more
Fly to the moon and beyond
Become a shooting star
I won’t be chasing after you
Cause I know the girl you are
The way you treated me
I now perform in rags
You made me feel like I’m the one
With the tail between his legs

Wheels
03:28
|
|||
You’re far away
As far as you could go
No need to rush
We won’t be getting back
In the sand two lines
That’s all we ever were
And I’m not gonna lose my mind
The wheels are turning
I’m not even watching
Now I just wanna
Lie down for a while
I am o.k.
I am a big boy now
We are heading nowhere
The horizon out of bounds
Two lines across the sky
That’s all we ever were
Keep them moving
Keep them moving
I’m not losing my mind
I’m not losing my mind over you
I’m not losing my mind
I’m not losing my mind over you
Here I am
It’s kind of strange
We’d keep in touch we said
But would we care
I’m doing fine
I’m doing fine
And I’m not gonna lose my mind

Where Lovers Go
03:35
|
|||
You are the one
The one I love
You think you’re immune
And free like the birds
But when you are away
My bed is much too wide
I’ll stay right here
I've found the one
And all our troubles
Are the spice of life
I see so much more
When you’re by my side
You take me you take me
You show me you show me
Where lovers go
I let you take
Me in your arms
And you whisper words
Tender as the night
The thrill I’m feeling
I just cannot hide

Not Enough
03:44
|
|||
I made you coffee in the morning
Appeared as beauty in your sleep
I held your hand crossing the border
And gave you bitterness for real
Don’t you know what was going on?
Don’t you know I was on my way?
I gave you
Gave you everything
But everything
Was not enough
I read from books when you were lonely
And wiped the teardrops from your face
I fought the tiger on your doorstep
Escaped from prison to see our child

A Bridge Too Far
03:32
|
|||
Say what am I
Doing out here
I need a home
Not a go-go bar
Say how much further
Do I need to drive?
Or have I already
Gone a bridge too far
I just want an answer
I don’t care about music
Falling through the crack
Not on the map
It’s not - it’s not - it’s not amusing
I just want an answer
I don’t care about music
You can make it stop
I've let things slide
I’m not refusing
So what’s behind
Your winning smile
Wouldn't it be better
Not to show your scar
You too have travelled
From town to town
We may have already
Gone a bridge too far
I just want an answer
I don’t care about music
Falling through the crack
Not on the map
It’s not - it’s not - it’s not amusing
I just want an answer
I don’t care about music
Who can make you stop
Going round the world
I’m not refusing
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

The Longest Day
03:36
|
|||
It’s been the longest day of my life
I cannot sleep on these cold wet stones
Is this your voice? Am I going crazy?
It’s been a while since I had a wink
No I’m not stupid and I’m not rich
The boat is leaking and I need to sleep
When all good folks
Were sleeping in their beds
We must have been too hard
Too hard on ourselves
If you can hear me
It’s only midnight
I am sending you my love
The game’s not fair I've lost my bottle
Who would want to die on these cold wet stones?
No I’m not wise and I’m not bitter
I’m just the last man on this earth
I wish you peace, love and forgiveness

Understand
04:09
|
|||
Lured once more
Into the vastness of the sea
And my boat still holding steady
It won’t show up on your charts
It’s so much easier out on the water
To find a way I wanna go
It’s so much easier to live my life
Going with the flow
Expectations
You have seen that I have none
When you’re lost on the horizon
There’s no need to look for one
I will return one sudden day
But never staying long enough
For you to feel you can explain
What man I am
Understand
In a cold wind
With his childlike eyes
Fall from your hand
Grains of shifting sand
Understand
Settling down
You must know that’s not for me
Curling up on an old sofa
Easily gives me the creeps
And if my face still keeps appearing
In the rising morning mist
And a voice speaks in you ear
I may not exist
Lured once more
Into the vastness of the sea
And my boat still holding steady
It won’t show up on your charts
Don’t try to follow or find me out
There’s no other girl for me
I’m just a captive of the blue
Going with the flow
Always I’m free

Long Ago
03:16
|
|||
I was in love with you
I was in love with you
It was some time ago
I must be almost dead by now
And I was not alone
And I was not alone
I was in a room with you
Together we’d defy the night
Me I was in your bed
Me I was in your bed
But what I really wanted
What I wanted was your heart
And that was long ago
And that was long ago
I still recall
The pleasure of your hair
And that was long ago
And that was long ago
We’d never know
Why we didn’t dare
Now it pours out of me
Now it pours out of me
This was as close as we
As close as I would ever get
I touched your perfect skin
I touched your perfect skin
But what I truly loved
I didn’t find the words to say

I'll Be Good To You
02:40
|
|||
Hush now my baby
Hush now my baby
I’ll throw in a ballad
And pockets full of rye
There’s no need to cry
The moon is rising
The moon is rising
High up on the hill top
A big smile on its face
Like in the old days
Aah-a-a-a-aah-a-ah
Aah-a-a-a-a-a-ah
I’ll be good to you
It’s after midnight
It’s after midnight
Will we remember
The way that we once were?
Life is such a blur
Hush now my baby
Hush now my baby
Just you wait and see
We’re sailing on the Nile
For a little while

Blow Wind Blow
03:40
|
|||
North winds are blowing strongly against my face
Calling to mind the start of winter time
Dark clouds are trying to depress my soul
There’s so much sadness all around
For days I haven’t seen the sun no more
It’s hiding in a bank of heavy fog
People drown their sorrows it makes perfect sense
This side of me there’s no sign of light
Blow wind blow
Blow wind blow
And make me strong
So strange to share my melancholy
Without feeling as if I’m falling down
This kind of melancholic energy
Blow wind blow and make me strong
