Naked Fool

Stepping out in the morning rain,
welcome drops like a long gone friend.
They say with every squash it’s getting better.
Smell the warm wind, smell the sun
behind the waterfall.
Prophecy so kind to me this time.
I would do it again,
Risquer le tout pour le tout.
I’d surely go there again,
Risquer le moi pour le nous.
I’d be the naked fool again!
Each got it’s own way
to get somehow through this life,
responding in their own particular way.
I thought that yours would more or less resemble the mine,
it turned out that we’re miles apart inside.
I would do it again,
Risquer le tout pour le tout...
Stepping out in the morning sun,
after all that’s been said and done.
I feel, with every breath it’s getting easier.
Smell the warm wind, smell the sun
behind that waterfall.
Destiny so kind to me this time.

Meant to stay
04:03
|

My head out in the wind, wheels are turning fine.
Nothing left to do than biding time.
Out for a love on the run.
Going there, where the river has begun.
All the lullabies, quick hellos and fast good byes,
couldn’t leave as a single man.
Be welcome to my place,
every time, night and days.
Just be sure that you recall the way.
If love was meant to stay, you better change your bitter way.
If love was meant to stay, go change your way.
It nearly broke my spine, to feel your carnal crime.
If love was meant to stay, go change your way.
I threw the leaves and the sand
out against the wind in the sea.
A funny tide brought a fragrance back to me.
Who knew, my words in the sand,
would lead me in to a world where I was banned.
All the lullabies, quick hellos and fast good byes,
couldn’t leave as a single man.
Be welcome to my place,
every time, night and days.
Just be sure that you will find the way.

Translucent

Been walking with the cats last night,
fighting, dancing as they travel light
They seemed to know just when someone died,
as the wind fell down from the hill insight
Summer came and went again, the girl and me, we talk again
Summer left the elfs-dance, the man and me we passed as friends
Took a walk with a dog last night,
step by step up the chappel-site
She ran off hunting, but returned in time,
seemed to know, when we could step inside
Summer came and went again, the girl and me, we talk again
Summer left the elfs-dance, the man and me we passed as friends
I lay down with a love last night,
silently breathing, as we held tight
Seemed to know, when to step aside,
stand back, the self does it right

Falling twice
03:12
|
|||
|
I will go to town, to see if you're around,
'cause I've been spending my time thinking all about,
how nice it used to be, groovin' all around,
just the you and the me, moving to a sound.
Falling twice!
Falling twice, you roll the dice!
See you're not in town, you're nowhere to be found.
Are you with an other man, who took you with his van
out into the night, out just for a ride,
well that'd be enough, that'd kill me tough!
The road is long, the end is near, I brought no flowers for you my dear.
The road is long, the end ain't nice. As I said, you roll the dice!

Lay down
03:40

|
I know, you’ve been trying to get sober,
I know, I know.
Sable dancers fight you from the inside.
Them stones will break your bones.
They can’t kill you, might transform you.
Stand save on holy grond.
Lay down all your grieves and your worries. Lay down, lay down.
Just keep hiding, where the bastards can’t grind you. Lay down, lay down.
Sense the burden of hypersensibility.
What sense in your ability?
So you run low, feel miles apart from the show.
And your drugs, they just don’t work no more.
Peel yourself, go heal yourself,
let go, don’t rewind.
Lay down all your grieves and your worry, lay down, lay down.
Just keep hiding, where the bastards can’t grind you. Lay down, lay down.
Wish you well, I really wish you well.
We’re guided as far as I can tell.
Your way’s just on it’s way to find you,
don’t let the neon blind you.
Lay down all your grieves and your worries. Lay down, lay down.
Just keep hiding, where the bastards can’t grind you. Lay down, lay down.
Just keep hiding, where your troubles can’t find you. Lay down, lay down

Pass me by
05:11
|

|
Don't you ever pass me by,
not again in thousand years.
An orchid withers, purple into orange-blue
don't you ever pass me by.
Take care of business and take care of you,
I'll keep your memory quite a while.
You've been a porno of the sweetest kind,
with ev'ry tender kiss a shattered bliss.
I woke you up in a stronghold down there by the sea.
Sleeping beauty gone astray.
Veil is unrevealed, levins in the black of night
So don't you ever pass me by.
Take care of business and take care of you...
In times you move so fast
you walk ahead so I can't see.
Better cover off your veil.
We were a dozen, but we lost a half along the way.
One by one they passed away.
Don't you ever pass me by
Don't you ever pass me by
Don't you ever.
So call me up, when life looks like potato-soup
hashed-brown by the end of may.
We'll eat the crumbs from the table of philosophy,
but don't you ever pass me by

Drowning
04:17
|
|||
|
Came back down from my home in the clouds,
where I used to spend my days, dreaming 'bout them better ways.
You could have had as well done, a much warmer welcome,
but you had to throw your dice right between my dreaming eyes.
If this liaison is right within our fate,
so why then do we treat each other with envy, greed and burning hate.
All my life I sensed this fear in me, now you see me broken kneeling here,
Drowning, Lord I'm drowning.
God forsaken, bless the healing that's bound to rise from darkest feeling,
Drowning, Lord I'm drowning.
Tend to hurt the most, the ones that we love the most.
God knows only why this is. Kill own dreadful dreaded ghost.
And since you sliced me up with that professional butchers cut,
I'm busy spending all my days and recollect my winding guts.
Funny game it is with you and with me,
where the winner is the coward, who hurts the most ferociously.
All my life I sensed this fear in me, now you see me broken kneeling here,
Drowning, Lord I'm drowning.
God forsaken, bless the healing that's bound to rise from darkest feeling,
Drowning, Lord I'm drowning.
It took me half a year, to dry of my every tear
and an other quarter of that year to see you won't be here with me.
So now may heaven have its eye on your ways
and if they should cross the mine again that we remember us as friends.
Chords in major may sound funny, but see me sinking slowly honey,
Drowning, Lord I'm drowning.

Under my Umbrella
03:03
|
|||
|
Rain is filling up the air,
but you and I don’t care,
cause I did some bumbershoot prepare.
We are hurt enough to dance,
are stubling in romance,
so drunk we’re bumping fence to fence.
And you are not bold, not bold enough to fight,
so won’t stay another night,
‘till we can kiss the morning light
Be my Cinderella come under my umbrella.
Outside there might be weather, we’re hiding here together.
Be my Cinderella, come under my umbrella, under my umbrella darling.
Tonight we’re leaving all our friends,
we’re taking our last chance,
when we are passing over France.
I let my fingers running through your hair,
you didn’t wash, but I don’t care,
‘cause it’s so nice to linger there.
And the time, the party it might end,
I’ll be holding still your hand,
untill we reach the foreign land
The party might be over, we’re heading off to Dover.
Getting on a ferry and spend the fall in Derry.
Be my Cinderella, came under my umbrella, we’re hiding from the weather darling.

Boats
04:00
|

|
You won't deny that my boat got in your way,
when you were sailing to regain your state of independency.
So for now, you're rolling, you're rowing to an other another part of town.
And I won't deny, my boat is easily
and gently rocked by your waves, you're sending out of your world.
But for now I'm drifting, all I do is drifting.
High up in the mast, stars above, rough sea below,
you fiercely blow the foghorn.
One-armed hanging over board, your call for love won't be absorbed.
It echoes in the night air.
So for now, I'll camp out with my bed high up in the crown's nest
and I do, what I do best.
I sit and watch, scan the horizon with my telescope.
A ship is rowing back in here.
