The Fallin' Leaves' Fall
03:31
|
|||
The dim light is about to lie down
On a cold carpet of fire
The wet wind violently sweeps
The promises of a liar
There is no hope for a rebirth
Of the leaves lying in the mire
So leave and fall
Fall, leaf of the fallin' leaves' fall
The fog hides and confuses the world
Allowing us to be naive
The memory of summer makes us smile
And cry, and leads us to believe
That it's never too late to relive it again
Time leaves and we are not relieved
So live and fall
Fall, leaf of the fallin' leaves' fall
So leave and fall
Fall, leaf of the fallin' leaves' fall

No One Got Hurt
02:42
|

I saw you walking on the roof
And then looking down on the street
After, I don’t know what happened
I had someone to meet
I saw you holding a razor blade
And then going inside the bathroom
After, I don’t know what happened
I had to clean up my room
And in this song no one gets hurt
One fixing the TV aerials
One replacing the razor blade
But I’m sure, no one got hurt
I saw you holding a rope
And then tying it to a tree
After, I don’t know what happened
I was late, it was better to flee
I saw you holding a shotgun
And then writing on a piece of paper
After, I don’t know what happened
I had to go, see you later
And in this song no one gets hurt
One building a swing
One going to the firing ground
But I’m sure, no one got hurt

Unloved
02:40
|
|||
Her silent steps were moving
Barefoot through the meadows
She was searching
Where love grows
Her small hand was holding
The hand of her groom
She was searching
Where love blooms
Her gently skin was trembling
Bathing naked in the river
She was searching
Where love shattered
Her shiny eyes were staring
At his strange cold smile
She’d be choked
In a little while
Her cold body was lying
Under his indifferent eyes
She had found
Where her love died

Tell Me Again
04:07
|
|||
Oh my love, tell me again
That everything will be fine
That my fears and pain
Can’t steal what is mine
Oh my love, tell me again
That we won’t grow old
That I won’t go insane
And your lips won’t become cold
Oh my love, tell me all these things
Tell me of an endless spring
Until I get carried away on sleep’s wings
Oh my love, tell me again
That you’ll be with me forever
That time won’t break the chain
Which keeps us together
Oh my love, tell me again
All the lies I want to believe in
That allow me to keep livin’
Oh my love, tell me all these things
Tell me of an endless spring
Until I get carried away by the angel’s wings
Oh my love, tell me again

My Nightmares
04:55
|
|||
Whisper to me words that I can't hear
I'm still here, with a rainbow near
With a hand full of stolen diamonds
Far on the hills, with my worn heels
And nobody knows what a man feels
Nobody believes that I've seen frightened lions
Take me to your magic place
Where I can see your face covered by lace
In the timeless land with my rhymes
Leave me there to rot in the deepest grave
In my silly rave, without someone to save
With all my memories buried in the lost time
Wake me up from my nightmares
I'll find something worse when I'm awake
Wake me up from my nightmares
Please don't tell me about today, for old times' sake
Then take me on the ocean of lost loves
With my cut gloves, under the flying doves,
On the silver water now I'm sailin'
But the bottom is too shiny to be seen
My soul isn't very clean and I'm too lean
To be hungry for what is rainin'
Smoke's human forms, all around me
Laughing at me, even if they can't see
Runin' blindly in their lives, they won't stop
And they're slowly disappearing in the sunset
After I've met them, I don't know where they will get
Maybe to my ragged head, when I reach the top

You're So Precious
03:54
|
|||
Your love
Like a freely flying dove
Like the dew on a sleepy dawn
Like a graceful swimming swan
I wonder if you see
That it’s so precious to me
Your eyes
Like the blue of the farthest skies
Like diamonds to find
Like mirrors of your mind
I wonder if you see
That they’re so precious to me
Your lips
Like the softest rosebud tips
Like a promise to be kept
Like a dream that leaves me rapt
I wonder if you see
That they’re so precious to me
Your hair
Like the mane of a lovely mare
Like the shine of the finest silk
Round your neck as white as milk
I wonder if you see
That it’s so precious to me
Your smile
Has a gentle and loving style
Like the brightest ray of sun
I have to tell you, you’re the one
I wonder if you see
That you’re so precious to me
Your face
Has eternal youth’s grace
Like a goddess to be praised
Like a blaze that leaves me dazed
I wonder if you see
That it’s so precious to me
You
My blue-eyed girl
My precious pearl
All this is true
It is for you
Your love
Like a freely flying dove
Like the dew on a sleepy dawn
Like a graceful swimming swan
I wonder if you see
That it’s so precious to me

The Sailor
03:43
|
|||
I’ve sailed the oceans with the winds on my side
I’ve left my land with the high night tide
I was curious then of revealing the secrets of the sea
But where was north? The Fates had forsaken me
My boat was swept away through lightning and storms
In a wet desert where waves changed their forms
I’ve sailed all my life long
Can’t say what’s gone wrong
I’ve never heard the siren’s song
Why do my travels take so long?
I’ve sailed the oceans with the winds on my side
I’ve left my land with the high night tide
I’ve sailed the seas like Ulysses did before
But ten years later I had yet to see the shore
I’ve sailed the seas but the Fates had forsaken me
Calypso, why don’t you fall in love with me?
I’ve sailed all my life long
Can’t say what’s gone wrong
I’ve never heard the siren’s song
Why do my travels take so long?

She's Not There At All
03:04
|
|||
Someone's talkin' about her lover
Someone's talkin' about her little girl
Someone says she couldn't get it over with
But she's not there at all
Far away from the picture on the wall
But no one remembers
The time gone by, not for long
Someone's talkin' about her face
Someone's talkin' of when she was a child
Someone asks: “What was her place?”
But she's not there at all
Maybe she has only forgotten her shawl
But no one remembers
The time gone by, not for long
Someone asks if her eyes were brown or blue
Someone asks if her hair was black or blond
Someone forgets and asks: “Who are you?”
But you're not there at all
You have just got the call
But no one remembers
The time gone by, not for long
Now I'm wondering
Who you were not so long ago

Last Trip
03:42
|
|||
The fog was slowly swallowing that car
Up there on the hill near the woods
The man inside was looking far
Through the glass wet by a light rain
Melting like crystals on his skin
He was trying to forget his stain
He was feeling it inside now
He was tripping out somehow
Oh the light is deep, like sounds
The mind is losing its bounds
Oh the light is deep in my last trip
What’s my name, what’s my name
What’s my name now?
I’m still with you, she cried
He was late with the flowers in his hand
She burnt herself trying to touch the stars
I’m still with you, she said
But she was only a withered voice in his head
He knew she was dead

The Wind
03:45
|
|||
I know the wind that hits my face
It brings the time of a lost place
The wind that dries the tears
And corrodes the face
The wind that tears the years
And leaves its trace
The wind that blows in my ears
Keeps giving me the chase
Maybe one day it will sweep the ashes
Like a mute poem
I know the wind that hits my face
It slows down my weary pace
The wind that cleans the scars
And ages the eyes
The wind that blows and jars
While the dust flies
To the distant and forgotten stars
That will never rise
Maybe one day it will sweep the ashes
Like a mute poem
Pushed by the westward wind
I will touch the sunset

Long Winter
05:13
|
|||
I've lost myself in a long winter
My soul is damned, the spell is cast
And the bones are pulverizing fast
The wasteland is inside me now
Everything I write will burn
Until the tide turns
Will it ever flourish again?
Or only in the end, from my chest
After that cold, empty rest
I've lost myself in a long winter
I've lost myself in a long winter
And my heart lingers on
Everything I see has no name
Time has crossed the line
My life is not mine
Will the winter ever end?
Should I wait for life to go?
Leaving my memories below the snow
I've lost myself in a long winter
I've lost myself in a long winter
And my heart lingers on
