Almadrava

I have nobody for a conversation,
it might be pretty normal in my situation.
I'm in the ocean, floating under burning sun,
completely alone and trying to find someone.

I hear a song, it's like a prayer.
This melody shows me the way.
It carries me like the wind, a feather,
and in the nights it's a shining ray.

Everytime louder, I can hear you sing your song.
I just hope I'll find you after so long.
I'm nearly fainting, I go on the blink.
It's fun, so much water and not one drop to drink.

I hear a song...

I still remember when I left the ship.
The ones I love, they were all asleep.
No-one believed me, cause they couldn't hear you,
they must be trying to find, where I was going to.

I heard a song, it was like a prayer.
This melody was sung for me.
It carried me like the wind, a feather,
and now I am drowning in the sea.

I hear a song, it's like...

I've been looking for you nearly everywhere,
I couldn't find you.
So here I am driving through the rain
and I don't know where to go.

I'm sorry, I was so wrong.
I know it since you are gone.
Please forget your pride,
don't try to hide your love.

IF ONLY I COULD FIND YOU
I'D GIVE YOU MY LIFE AGAIN.
IF ONLY I COULD FIND YOU,
DON'T LIE TO ME,
I KNOW YOU STILL LOVE ME,
AND I DIE WITHOUT YOU.

Another night will end up the same way.
Where could you be now.
A silly error would become a huge mistake,
if I never see you again.

I'm sorry, I was so wrong.
I know it since you are gone.
Please forget your pride,
Don't try to hide your love.

IF ONLY I COULD FIND YOU...

I know what it feels like,
I've been through this before.
You don't have to worry,
better times will come.

Go on looking forward,
don't turn around.
Stand up and walk on,
this is not the end.

I'm sorry about what happens,
I'm sorry about what happens,
You can count on me.
I'm sorry about what happens,
I'm sorry about what happens to you!

I know it's not easy
and neither should it be,
The more that you want it,
The harder it is.

If you look around you,
you'll see that we care.
A friend is forever,
if not, it's not a friend.

I'm sorry...

The air will never have the same smell,
the sun will never get to shine so bright again.
How they hurt my eyes, god! they hurt my eyes,
now that you're leaving.

My past is travelling on an airplane,
who will be there the next time I need a friend,
and I close my eyes, now I close my eyes
because you're leaving.

And the telephone is ringing in my hand,
I have to cheer you up, and you still don't understand
why did you say goodbye, how did you say goodbye?
it's me who did it ...

I have my life right in front of me,
my past seems one minute, present seems eternity.
I want to freeze the time, so I close my eyes
but you're still leaving.

With any problem I did lean on you.
You are now my problem and I don't know what to do.
I see you fly away, god! they hurt my eyes
now that you're leaving

The telephone....

And you still wonder how I didn't cry.
Of course I love you, but somehow I had to lie,
beause you had to go, yes! you had to go
although you need me.

Because your future is so far from here
and from the distance I will help to fight your fears.
I'll have to be strong, yes! I will be strong
because you need me.

And the telephone is ringing in my hand
I have to cheer you up, and I don't know if I can.
If you could see my eyes, if you could see my eyes...

The boy is standing in front of the sea,
watching the birds fighting gravity,
mum sits beside with tears in her eyes,
she cries.

The kid doesn't see her, his mind's not there,
he's flying with the seabirds all the way to his dad.
In fantasy land, if you really wish,
you can...

Listen to the wind blow,
and then close your eyes,
open your arms and you will feel ,how you fly.

Now you can reach the sky,
you can fly like a seagull,
you only have to close your eyes
and you will touch the sky.

A fisherman's life is hard for a man
and even harder for a boy to understand
why dad has to go again and again
for month.

But imagination is a powerful friend,
he sees mama crying and goes to take her hand,
come with me now,
I'll guide you to visit dad.

Listen to the wind blow,
and then close your eyes,
open your arms and you will feel ,how you fly.

Now you can reach the sky,
you can fly like a seagull,
you only have to close your eyes
and you will touch the sky.

Behind the moon you'll find the sun.
Down at the beach there is not anyone.
The water so blue,
and the way I feel too,
and nothing matters anymore but you.

They slightly dissapear, the stars.
Venus not there and neither Mars.
I ask for the truth, and you answer me shhh...
A nice way to say it, so smooth!

Waves on the sea, they're talking to me,
they're telling me about how it feels to be free, so free...

Waves on the sea, they're talking to me,
they're telling me about how it feels to be free, so free...
And the wind blows away the sand, (like an hourglass)
falling from my hand.

Another minute lost in peace,
I close my eyes and I can feel your breeze
Beeing on this beach, I am out of reach,
I cannot listen to his lies, when I'm here.

There is a couple on the run.
A solitary man, looks like he's having fun.
I don't have to fear, when freedom is near,
again you give me all the strenghs I need to live.

Waves on the sea...
