A too late lullaby
05:15
|
|||
go to sleep now my little girl
now it‘s time to let go of the day
it is time to dream away, dream away
it is time to let go of the day
it is time to dream away
I know you won‘t, at least I have to try
this too late lullaby, too late lullaby
rest your head now and find some sleep
tomorrow morning is not car away
and in the morning, a fresh look at the world
you are yawning
the gold night story remains untold
I know you won‘t, at least I have to try
this too late lullaby, too late lullaby
now you‘re grown up, years flew by
and it felt like a blink of an eye
it is time to dream away, dream away
it is time to let go of the day
it is time to dream away
tomorrow morning is not far away
from this too late lullaby

Keiner holt sie ein
04:03
|
|||
so schön ist der Tag
an dem sie’s wagt
ihre Träume zu treffen
aus dem Rahmen zu preschen
und sie biegt hinein
über Stock und Stein
nimmt nichts mit, nur sich allein
springt über Licht und Schatten
will im Dunkeln tappen
auf Stegen schleichen
allen Bedenken ausweichen
schaut nicht zurück
nach vorne ihr Blick
Bildermomente, buntes Treiben, Gedankenstück
keiner holt sie ein
keiner kann ganz mit ihr sein
auf dieser Welle
Stromschnelle
keiner holt sie ein
keiner kann ganz mit ihr sein
auf dieser Welle
Stromschnelle
jeder Farbe nachjagen
geheime Wege wagen
auf dem Wind will sie reiten
ihr Herz ausbreiten
immer sie sein
alles echt
ach, könnt’s doch immer so sein
keiner holt sie ein
keiner kann ganz mit ihr sein
auf dieser Welle
Stromschnelle
keiner holt sie ein
keiner kann ganz mit ihr sein
auf dieser Welle
Stromschnelle

Liebe mich
07:13
|
|||
Auf diesem Weg, der so eben ist
in diesem Haus, in dem du bist
will ich sein
mit dir allein
mit deiner Ruh´
geb dir mein Herz, dass ewig wankt
um das sich Schwere rankt
das du trägst
dich darin einprägst
immerzu
liebe mich, ich bitte dich
was anderes weiß ich nicht
wenn ich mich dreh, um mich dreh
nichts anderes kann, nur in mich reinseh´
bist du da
bleibst nah
wohlbedacht
du hältst den Takt, im Kopf die Welt
kannst langsam gehn, wenn niemand anhält
Lebensbestreiter
Wegbegleiter
warm und sacht
liebe mich, ich bitte dich
was anderes weiß ich nicht

rain, rain pouring down
wash away the dirt from all around
clean, cold, wet street
running fast, heavy pulse, heartbeat, beat, beat, …
rain, rain pouring down
wash away all dry dreams in town
clogged street gully, rotten flair
this dark town could be anywhere, where, where, …
rain falling down, rain falling down
this dark town could be anywhere

Love without love
05:20
|
|||
it could be something like
love without love, love without love
it could be something like
love without love, without love
it could be something like
love without love, without love
without love
the birds sing it from the trees
a swarm of thoughts that are released
is flying around my summer head
the birds sing it from the trees
a swarm of thoughts that are released
is flying around my summer head
what kind of sense does it make
should it take
what kind of sense does it make
should it take
love without love, without love
it could be something like
love without love, without love
without love
the foxes whisper it in the wood
I hide and spy in their neighborhood
I´d like to know what they say
while I listen without any plan
I breathe as quietly as I can
oh no, they`ve seen me, unfortunately
it could be something like
love without love, without love
it could be something like
love without love, without love
without love
what kind of sense does it make
should it take
what kind of sense does it make
should it take
it could be something like
love without love, without love

Like before
05:23
|
|||
children laughing, playing hide-and-seek
their parents posting pictures of them
or maybe not and delete
an old couple dances cheek to cheek, cheek to cheek
mm-hmm-hmm, mm-hmm-hmm, mm-hmm-hmm-hmm
and the time stands still and it probably will go on
like before
mm-hmm-hmm
and the time stands still and it probably will go on
like before
a dog is barking at a distant farm
the smell of freshly cut grass is in the air
wind comes up, leaves are rustling, rain starts falling
and the concrete smells summer wet
puddles of rain, the children jump into them
drops on smartphone displays, time to lease
the old couple dance in the rain
cheek to cheek, cheek to cheek
and they dance
mm-hmm-hmm, mm-hmm-hmm, mm-hmm-hmm-hmm
and the time stands still and it probably will go on
like before
mm-hmm-hmm
and the time stands still and it probably will go on
like before

Shake and shiver
04:58
|
|||
if you just keep telling
the same old stories
of the deserted places
you could lose your mind
if you can’t let go
what was so decisive
so awfull and wonderful
then you are far away from everyone
you just have to shake and shiver
make yourself a giver
of the treasures you hide
if you want something back
at the same way
let it be, let it be, let it be
you´re just wasting your time
be sure to find out
what´s behind the shadowy hill
or do you just want
to keep standing still?
you just have to shake and shiver
make yourself a giver
of the treasures you hide
please don´t ask me why
I am like this
retracted, disconnected
´cause it makes me laugh
only little to be done
that´s what you think
but maybe you´re wrong
better force me to
shake and shiver
make yourself a giver
of the treasures you hide
shake and shiver, make yourself a giver of the treasures you hide

Cat on my back
06:16
|
|||
big juvenile dreams
forgotten it sems to me
make a piece of art
maybe would be a good start, mhm, mhm
and a stranger‘s smile in the street
gives release for a while
you want a piece of the cake
sorry, too late
but a dance with old friends
could be a chance
there‘s a cat on my back
whispers: „not everything is bad“
yes she said, mhm
try to stop telling lies
would be a surprise, mhm
and a break from the news
is a good, a very good choose, mhm, mhm
big juvenile dreams
forgotten it sems to me, to me, to me
make a piece of art
maybe would be a good start, mhm, mhm
there‘s a cat on my back
whispers: „not everything is bad“
yes she said
and the cat shrinks back
when I repertoire „everything is bad“
that‘s what I said
but the cat on my back
shakes her head
denies everything I said
so the cat and me are very hopefully
the cat and me, very hopefully, …
… that she is right

A sound, a smell
04:11
|
|||
a sound, a smell maybe children‘s yell
could be a piece of cloth that triggers s what I‘m thinking of
the timbres of a stranger‘s voice, even a distant noise
small random events - remind me of the house where I was born
reminds me of the house where I was born
reminds me of the house
reminds me of the house where I was born
the bakery across the street sold ice cream in the summer
chocolate, strawberry, vanilla - what a joy
every year only three flavours
but it was more than enough for a little boy
we played soccer in the street and when the ball got lost
when we kicked it in the neighbour‘s garden
we got. it back on new year‘s day and played again
as soon as the snow was gone
reminds me of the street where I lived
reminds me of the street
reminds me of the street where I lived
sleigh rides in the winter with the boys next door
on the path that is called „three furs“
the grown-ups drink wine in the afternoon
in the 70‘s - no big thing, I thought
a glimpse of the past, memories last
life is moving on so fast
a sound, a smell, maybe children‘s yell
remind me of the place I left
life is blast, impressions that will last
remind me of the street where I lived
a sound, a smell maybe children’s yell
remind me of the life that Iived
remind me of the life that Iived
remind me of the life that Iived

Where will we go
05:28
|

where will we go
my sweet darling
we’re on the road
on a trip
right through the middle
hang on me please
my sweet darling
soon you will go
stay awake
close to the window
my sweet darling
two silent hearts
we watch us, we watch us
where will we go
my sweet darling
we’re on the road
on a trip
right through the middle
it has to be right
my sweet darling
you’ll walk away
with a smile
and lucky charms in your pocket
you do it well
my sweet darling
we get used
to everything
what we need is a little time
what you should know
my sweet darling
we embrace you
whatever you do
every day, every moment
