I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking These days, these days. These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do And all the times I had the chance to. I've stopped my rambling, I don't do too much gambling These days, these days. These days I seem to think about How all the changes came about my ways And I wonder if I'll see another highway. I had a lover, I don't think I'll risk another These days, these days. And if I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song It's just that I've been losing so long. La la la la la, la la. I've stopped my dreaming, I won't do too much scheming These days, these days. These days I sit on corner stones And count the time in quarter tones to ten. Please don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them. |

Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end Now that it's real Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe try another time And do I really have a hand in my forgetting ? Now that I've tried Now that I've finally found that this is not the way, Now that I turn Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe finally split the rhyme And do I really understand the undernetting ? Yes and the morning has me Looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs carefully. Now that it's light Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind Now that it's here Now that I'm almost not so very far behind I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe follow another sign And do I really have a song that I can ride on ? Now that I can Now that it's easy, ever easy all around. Now that I'm here Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song I want to know do I stay or do I go And do I have to do just one And can I choose again if I should lose the reason ? Yes, and the morning Has me looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs more carefully. Now that I smile, Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside. Now that I see, Now that I finally found the one thing I denied It's now I know do I stay or do I go And it is finally I decide That I'll be leaving In the fairest of the seasons. |

and when he had to go there were roses growing in the snow. Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul and you know that it was like this before: he had to go You will never see these lights glowing in your nights, until you feel this way. With every moon it is as though you're getting closer to your soul and then you go alone - and with no fear then you will know that it was like this before: he had to go And you will find that you were blind until you saw these lights - glowing in your nights.

His summersand at dawn Unlocking flooded silvercages And with a silverdin arise All the lovely faces And the lovely silvertraces erase My empty pages The falconer is sitting on His summersand at dawn Beside his singing silverwaves And his dancing rebelrace That compose ahead of timeless time A sound inside my candle light Father child Angels of the night Silverframe my candlelight Father child Angels of the night Silverframe my candlelight The falconer is sitting on His summersand at dawn Unlocking flooded silvercages And with a silverdin arise All the lovely faces And the lovely silvertraces erase My empty pages |

Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end Now that it's real Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe try another time And do I really have a hand in my forgetting ? Now that I've tried Now that I've finally found that this is not the way, Now that I turn Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe finally split the rhyme And do I really understand the undernetting ? Yes and the morning has me Looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs carefully. Now that it's light Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind Now that it's here Now that I'm almost not so very far behind I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe follow another sign And do I really have a song that I can ride on ? Now that I can Now that it's easy, ever easy all around. Now that I'm here Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song I want to know do I stay or do I go And do I have to do just one And can I choose again if I should lose the reason ? Yes, and the morning Has me looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs more carefully. Now that I smile, Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside. Now that I see, Now that I finally found the one thing I denied It's now I know do I stay or do I go And it is finally I decide That I'll be leaving In the fairest of the seasons. |

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking These days, these days. These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do And all the times I had the chance to. I've stopped my rambling, I don't do too much gambling These days, these days. These days I seem to think about How all the changes came about my ways And I wonder if I'll see another highway. I had a lover, I don't think I'll risk another These days, these days. And if I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song It's just that I've been losing so long. La la la la la, la la. I've stopped my dreaming, I won't do too much scheming These days, these days. These days I sit on corner stones And count the time in quarter tones to ten. Please don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them. |

Don't call me home, little sister
Before the night is done My love and I are fleeing Running into the sun. Turn to fly, go away Little bird, please don't stay Fare thee well. Take up all your jewels and gold, Bury them away in the earth. Let your memory reduce them to dust But don't forget the knife that was thrust. Turn to fly, go away Little bird, please don't stay Fare thee well. Frozen kiss by the fountain Running into the sea Where shadows choose their horrors Designed for music. Turn to fly, go away, Little bird, please don't stay, Fare thee well |

The snow on your eyelids that curtsy with age
Is freezing the stares on tyranny's wings. The bitter is hard and the warmth of your skin Is diseased with familiar caresses. Withdrawing from splendor and royal decay Among all the triumphs and jaded awards The angry and blazing circus of sun Blasphemes as the crown prince arises. You cannot beget all the sins that you owe To the people of paradise magic Pretend to answer passion and form With foreign rationalizations. Primroses are the jewels that lurk Among masks of pleasure that flicker with doubt Embraces of fame that's simultaneously fear To advance and demand to be recognized. The river shall flow through hollow green faces Of caricature's resentment etched out of the tongues. Both reluctant princess asleep before birth The classical sensitive failures. The worshipping wicked cling to the dark of your heart Lying there and wait with your angels Moan and ravish from dawn to dusk The avaricious young lovers. |

You will search, babe, at any cost,
But how long, babe, can you search for what's not lost ? Everybody will help you, Some people are very kind. But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I'll keep it with mine. I can't help it if you might think I am odd If I say I'm not loving you for what you are But for what you're not. Everybody will help you, Discover what you set out to find But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I'll keep it with mine. The train leaves at half past ten But it'll be back tomorrow same time again. The conductor, he's weary, Still stuck on the line. But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I'll keep it with mine |

Love and learn
Take your turn Somewhere there's a feather Falling slowly from the sky You need not know the reason why. Stand apart Hear your heart Someday there will be Another lover till the end You need not hold your breath till then. Don't ask me to explain to you There's nothing to remain but what we see. Fall and climb Take your time Somehow you must live up To the precedents you've set You need not hope for answers yet. Don't ask me how I know it now The future does not show itself to me. So love and learn Take your turn Somewhere there's a feather Falling slowly from the sky You need not know the reason why. |

Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away Put them in a bottle and Across the seas they'll stay Speak not of misfortunes Speak not of your woes Just steal yourself a holiday Crouching by the door Ride and sway to music's pain Searing with the sides Caress it with a lover's touch For it shall be your bride Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Slash the golden whip, it slaps Across the lover's sides The earth trembles without remorse Preparing for to die Salty ocean waves and sprays Come crashing to the shore Bullies kick and kill young loves Down on barroom floors Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Violence echoes through the land In heart of every man The knife stabs existent wounds Pulse runs through matted hair The gleaming knife cuts early Through the midnight air Cutting entrails in its path Blood runs without care Excrement filters through the brain Hatred bends the spine Filth covers the body pores To be cleansed by dying time Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay |

What will they do when morning dawns They may not be able to explain Are you ready for a good fight Are you ready for laughter It is you that we are after It is you You can give me one more chance Forget that it is me who must fight |

The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past They do not seem to leave me They seem to join me on the road Or even when I take a boat A light Insanely bright is standing A fainting force My loneliness remains attending The hours since I saw you last Have left me in an unknown past They do not seem to leave me They seem to join me on the road Or even when I take a boat A light Insanely bright is standing A fainting force My loneliness remains attending |

Orly flight
Madrid tonight Close the door On the last floor Close the flight Prepare your sight As if you'd never Seen the light Understand The fortune spent This crazy crime Has no regret Orly flight Madrid tonight Close the door On the last floor Orly flight Madrid tonight Close the door On the last floor Close the flight Prepare your sight As if you'd never Seen the light Understand The fortune spent Conceal your pain Conceal your pride |

White light lays above
The Henry Hudson riverbank And you will see a lady standing Stealing past a happy ending Staring at the happy landing Her heart beats loud and fast Her love looks like a broken glass White light lays above The riverbank A sinking ship has brought the light Upon the land And Henry Hudson knows not where The lady's standing A lonely shoulder must grow older Waiting on the riverbank |
