Waving Leaves
I felt a drop
A drop of salty sweat
Running down my back
My brain was melting in my head
But everything was good
And so I opened up my eyes
To see the truth around me and forget about the lies
Cool wind from the sea brought some refreshing to my brain
The leaves were waving quietly and took away the pain
And then I saw
yes I saw
The color of her skin
I closed my eyes and smiled while I remembered everything
It all came back to me while I was laying in the sun
The cool breeze from the sea was slowly filling up my longs
I felt so nice, felt so good, I felt
better than before
waiting for the sandman to come knocking on my door
The cool wind is still blowing on the surface of the sea
And nothing I can do or say can change this, so you see
I do not care, do not mind, about the days to come
The only things that matter are the things that we have done
The clouds were getting bigger
and rain began to fall
And even if a storm would come, I do not care at all
The world will keep on turning
The sun will always shine
And leaves will wave forever

Never Let You Go
Well I am sure this is important
but I don’t care, you see, I really don’t give a damn
Maybe it’s right, maybe it’s wrong
To me it doesn’t matter at all
I don’t want to save the world
I don’t want to be a mighty hero
The only thing I want to say
Is that I’m here
And that I know
That I will never let you go
Day and night
You should know
That I will never let you go
In this world
I don’t care about the holy grail and I don’t search for glory
All I know is I won’t let you go
Yeah, it's been raining all day long
And it’s clear that for this year the summer is gone
Some days were good, other were bad
Today it feels like heaven is sad
But the better days will come
Even if this is a long cold winter
But I don’t really care for this
‘Cause you are here
And all I know
Is that I’ll never let you go
Day and night
You should know
That I will never let you go
In this world
I don’t care about the holy grail and I don’t search for glory
All I know is I won’t let you go

The Few
All is quite now
and the living are breathing
silent and slow
waiting for years to go by
from the evening
gently
till the morning brakes
Waiting in vain
Always forgetting
That nothing at all will buy you more time
Just realize that this life is worth living
And just live your life with some people around
The few you can trust
The few you can talk to
The few you can care for
The few that you miss
The few you despise
The few you must hate
The one you should murder
The one you can love

Nicely Planned Out
Looking at the universe
He had a great idea
Let’s get some life down there on Earth
A flower and a bee
It looked so beautiful
So he thought
Let’s make some humans / and see what they will do
And then he looked down
And he thought he had it nicely planned out
Until he realized that something wasn’t so good
But it was much too late to set it right
So he said he was misunderstood
The whole thing was quite complicated
And he was all alone
A million years of calculations
and in the end it all went wrong
Looking at my life, I feel some things are kinda strange
But I am sure about one thing
there’s nothing I would change
What will the future bring?
I don’t know
So I just have to wait
And see what I can do
‘Cause when I look back
We all hope we have it nicely planed out
But we don’t realize that we are fooling around
But there is always time to set things right
And get back with our feet on the ground
‘Cause life is not that complicated
When you are not alone
And even if the world is changing
How can it possibly go wrong?

Anywhere I Go
And there we stood on the grass
Staring at each other
Wondering if the trees would keep on growing
So I turned around
And walked away because there was no reason to stay there
Crying like an idiot
For something I couldn’t change…
But I still see your face and hear you laugh
Loud in the summer breeze
And anywhere I go, you will walk with me
And anywhere I go, you’ll watch over me
And anywhere I go, I will miss you and regret the things I never said and never did
I saw the tears in their eyes
Staring at their faces
Wondering how I could ease their sorrow
But I didn’t know
So I said nothing ‘cause there were no words to be said, and
Looking at the flowers
I took a deep breath and left…
And I still hear your voice and see your smile
Bright in the summer light

More
Give me more
Give me more of it
I’ll never get enough
And never ask me why
Just give me what I want
And if you don’t, I’ll lose my temper
This will be your fault
It never can be mine
Ask no questions
‘Cause I don’t think you’ll ever understand
The power of the demon dancing in my head
Shut up, and mind your own business
And give me more
Give me just a little more
Just give me more
I need it more than air
I need it more than anything that runs into my veins
The battle’s lost
And one is way too much
But hundred ‘s not enough
There’s something poisoned in my brain
But just give me more

If Only I Could Sleep

If Only I Could Sleep
When the darkness brings no peace
And the silence gets to loud again
And when my blood starts boiling
To the rhythm of the restless drum
The pounding of my heartbeat aching in my head again
And I feel I’m going crazy
If only I could sleep
If only I could sleep
If only I could sleep
I would dream I can fly
Further and higher
Right into your heaven
And get the air I need to breath
And drink the healing raindrops from the clouds
When the music brings no joy
And the twilight comes to soon again
When all the birds stop singing
And are hiding in the darkest tree
The moonlight brings no comfort and I’m feeling cold again
And I know I’m going crazy
If only I could sleep
If only I could sleep
If only I could sleep
I would dream I can fly
Further and higher
Right into your heaven
And get the air I need to breath
And drink the healing raindrops from the clouds

Happy
It was a sunny day and I remember it was warm
I was sitting in the shadow in the park on a bench
A man walked up to me and looked me straight in the eye
and then he said that he would live a thousand years
I said it was ok for me ,
I didn’t really care and so I wished him all the best
He looked again and then he smiled for a while
And suddenly he took of all his clothes
Then he walked off and he went swimming in the pool, quacking with the ducks,
And he was happy, happy, happy as a fool can be.
It was a rainy day and I was walking down the street
I was thinking about nothing and I liked it a lot
A girl came ‘round the corner, looked me straight in the eye
and then she said that she could run a thousand miles
I said it was ok for me ,
I didn’t really care and so I wished her all the best
She looked again and then she smiled for a while
And suddenly she took of both her shoes
she threw them away and started running on her hands, singing holy songs
And she was happy, happy, happy as a fool can be.
It was a cloudy day and it was getting kinda late
I was sitting in the couch and I was reading a book
When suddenly I heard a little voice in my head
That said that I should play a thousand songs
I said it was impossible, that it was way to much
And so I told it to shut up
But it insited, and it got on my nerves
And so I took a gun and killed that voice
'Cause I will only play the music that I like
That’s the way it is
And so I'm happy, happy, happy...

Part of your dance
Was it good or was it just the best that you could do?
Did you wonder?
Should you even care?
Trying hard
And always hoping for
milk and honey
Too much, not enough
And you can walk and you can run
And you can jump or climb the highest mountain
And even if the lightning hits you hard
Never mind
Just walk on
And if you fall, just make it part…
Part of your dance.
Living on the edge you won’t be taking too much space
Push the limits
Would you even dare?
Aiming high and always moving on
Dreams, desires, they will come along
‘Cause you can walk and you can run
And you can jump or climb the highest mountain
And even if the lightning hits you hard
Never mind
Just walk on
And if you fall, just make it part…
Part of your dance.

The Same
It’s been some years and they went faster than I thought
And time is slipping through my fingers in an eye-blink
Nothing ever stays
the way we thought that it should be
Slowly, I’m losing hold
And I wonder when I see you walk your own way
if things will ever be the same
Life goes on and on
and things will never be the same
Time goes way too fast
and deep inside me I just know
Things should never be, no, never be the same
I’ve been a hero, now I’m back to what I am
But I’ll be always there to catch you if you’re falling
Find a way
and chose the road that you should walk
Playing some other games
And I’m smiling when I see you walk your own way
‘Cause things can never stay the same
it’s an amazing journey
and things will never be the same
Walking in another time zone
living in a different world
Why should we ever be, ever be the same

Your Hope
Somewhere between night and day
When dogs starts howling at the moon
When all the flowers close
And shadows vanish into the dark
That’s where I love more than life
And if the stars are falling down
And all the light is gone
I’ll carry your hope
I’ll carry your hope
Until the morning
Will bring the sun back in your life

The Tree deep in The Forest
Walking on the green grass to the forest far away
Looking for the tree that stands alone and is a thousand years
Taking careful steps along the way
I look around
And silently the night destroys the day
I feel that if I stop now I will
stay forever in this woods
and I will never get back home
How will I ever be a little more than just a tree deep in the forest
Waiting on the green moss for another day to come
Living without fear and without pain
Just waiting for the sun
Happy that I found another way
Without a care
Quietly enjoying every day
I know that I will always want to stay
forever in these woods
and I will never leave again
Why would I ever be a little more than just a tree deep in the forest
