::Always You

If it wasn't the ocean
Wasn't the breezes
wasn't the white sand
There might be no need
If I could sleep through 
the cool nights
If I could breathe and eat right
If I had worked all summer
Maybe I wouldn't feel so humble
Oh you, it's always you
It's always you
If red roses weren't so lovely
If wine didn't taste so good
If stars weren't so romantic
Then I could do what I should
Oh you, it's always you
It's always you
If your love, I could command it
Get your head to understand it
I'd go twice around the world
Even though I wouldn't find it

::A Thousand Times

I woke up so sad one morning
And there were reasons 
for that bad morning
Something told me
You're not ready for this change
I got up and stepped into the 
shower, and I thought:
It will be gone
about an hour or so
But something told me
this feeling comes from 
deep inside
And suddenly ran teardrops
Just like the water
And I lost, I lost the fight
And it felt like someone
had died away from me
And myself died a thousand times
Have I lost my sense and strength
Are my eyes just full of you
Why come the pictures
reminding me of love
Suddenly ran teardrops,
Just like the water
And I lost, I lost the fight
And it felt like someone, had died 
away from me
And myself died a thousand times

::Tell Me You're Joking

He couldn't believe 
what his mama said
They put him in their car,
and he got scared
She looked at him 
in such a painful way
Oh please mama,
don't torture me this way
She held in close 
and tears fell down
He thought of 
the words she'd said
your father is gone
Oh no, this cannot be
My father would never leave me
So tell me you are joking, mama
She said he didn't suffer, 
because he was drunk
But how could she know
She wasn't there when he sunk
Oh no, this cannot be
My father would never leave me
So tell me you are joking, mama
He thought 
he would accept it
As time passed by
But still there are moments 
when he has to cry
He feels his father 
should have been there
through the years
But he'll always 
send him love,
Through throughts 
and through tears....

::You And Him

You were in the city, 
one night all alone
Just waiting for a taxi that could take you home
You saw a man walking 
down the street, towards you
And you could see he had no teeth 
in his upper jaw
He had dirt in his hair, 
he had dirt everywhere
His clothes didn't fit,
and one eye was hit
He asked you if you had 
a minute to talk
You said you didn't talk to strangers 
and you started to walk
His eyes looked sad 
and he asked you why
You acted like this, 
Was it because he looked so bad,
I know I scare you, 
but I just wanted to say
That you're the most beautiful,
I've seen today
You said
thank you very much
But please now 
leave me alone
He said where are you going
You said
I'm going home
Oh please would you invite me 
to your house sometime
You have just seen mine, 
it's here on the ground
He took a bottle from his jacket 
and he said cheers,
And you felt it was gone, 
that feeling of fear
You said
what happened to you, 
how could you 
end up like this
You must have had your choices, so 
tell me what this is
He said
you don't know a thing about me
All you know is only what you see
Even if I've lost the most 
of my brain
I still can see the sun and I can feel 
when it rains
I tried to be friendly, 
I tried to be nice
But you turned me your back 
and you were as chilly as ice
I didn't ask you for money, 
I asked you for words,
It's not my life that bothers, 
it's the way you act that hurts
You said you were sorry, 
but how could you know,
What someone like him, 
suddenly could do
But then you talked 
until the taxi arrived
You said you had to go, 
you said goodnight
There's only one thing
I wanna tell you 
before you go
I know you wanna get home, 
I know you do
I just wanted to tell you, 
I just wanted to say
That I'll remember 
with a smile this day

::I'll Remenber You

It's daybreak, and you are asleep,
I can hear you breathe now
Your breath is deep
But before I go
I'll look at you one last time
I can hear a heart beat
is it yours or is it mine?
I look at your lips
I know how soft they can be
Did they know what they wanted
the times they kissed me?
And your hands
that I've held in mine
Now they're reposing 
on the pillow
Will they ever 
miss me sometime?
I'll remember you
you will be there in my heart
I'll remember you
but that is all that I can do
But I'll remember
Your eyes
that always make me shiver
Now they're closed
they just sometimes 
twitch a little
And your body
I could hold for an hour
It sent me to heaven
with its heat and power,
I'll remember you
you will be there in my heart
I'll remember you
but that is all that I can do
But I'll remember

::So Long...

I've had my eyes
I've had my ears 
To steal from you
For so long... 
For sake to fill
A hole that kills 
You made me thrill
I'll be wandering
So long
So long, so long

Now I burn
And when I yearn
Every while without you
Is too long
Now I'm free
You made me see
It had to be
So long
Because I'm gonna love you 

So long
So long, so long

::Black Day

Was is easy, was it hard? 
We will always wonder about that part 
Were you crazy, were you brave? 
That's what we all wonder about today

We will live through this black day
We will pray by the young grave
We will live through this black day
We will stand by your black grave

Were you obsessed or just low?
Now we talk about how come it never showed
What did you seek but couldn't find?
When did we all, slip your mind?

We will live through this black day
We will pray by the young grave
We will live through this black day
We will stand by your black grave

Was it easy, was it hard? 
We always wonder about that part
Were you crazy, were you brave? 

::Up


 

 

::Foolish

So, so say I'm foolish
Say, it's all in my mind
Don't give me right on this feeling
I did what I always do
Bad things go'way by believing

So, I was too foolish
So, I've let myself down
Still, this is the ground
So, I was right on this feeling

But I'll do what I've always done
Bad things are eased by believing
It was just my time
It was just my time
It was just my time to come

::I'd Be Broken

Darling, hold on to my love, 
hold on to my touch
a little bit more 
For all affection
that I've grudged you,
For all loads I let you carry
I owe you
Ashamed to be someone
who took you for granted,
Who took and demanded
the whole of you
So darling, hold on to my love
hold on to my touch
a little bit more
'Cause I'd be broken
I'd be broken
I'd be broken, without you.
All the visions
would mean nothing, 
I need your touching 
getting to my soul
So darling, hold on to my love
hold on to my touch
a little bit more
'Cause I'd be broken
I'd be broken
I'd be broken,without you.
From now on, I'll always share 
my loving mind,
I'll put my heart into your soul,
I'll be tender, I'll defend for you,
I'll give it all, that belongs to you. 

::Up


 

 

::Stand By

It's because of my faith
in how it should be,
I never consider
and that's why I let you
drive me, drive me crazy.
It's not a question
or trying ones fortune,
What it's all about
is to fight to make it live,
To make it live and survive.
So stand by, stand by
Stand by, stand by.
And I won't be scared
of the hard times that will come,
We'll get to a level
when we get through
and then we just go on and on,
So stand by, stand by
Stand by, stand by.

::There Must Be A Reason

Decided to leave my 
past years to the gods
It wouldn't be fair 
and it wouldn't be right
To choose myself to be the judge
I learnt to keep my mouth shut 
and I tried to understand
That you must have a good heart
if you could win,
my mother's hand
I'm sorry mother
there must be another reason
I'm sorry mother but now we are done!
She was caught in the middle
wanted to save her from wars
So I started to live for the day
I could move my life outdoors
The distance burried 
my thoughts of revenge
It was a relief to think 
of you as a friend
Now it occurs to me, 
how we have changed
Since I've grown up, 
it suddenly stopped
I'm sorry mother
there must be another reason
I'm sorry mother
but now we are done

::So Good

It will be better in the morning
They said the sun might shine
I'll have you close
you'll have the deeps of mine
It will be better, much better
Suppose it would rain
How I would smile
It would be pretty easy
keep you lying for a while
It will be better, much better
It'll be so good
It fact we don't have to do anything
Whatever goes wrong
We've still got everything
It can't be better, can't be better
It's so good, it's so good
And better, and better

::Goodbye

I told you once I did
After you'd taught me how
It was never in my beliefs
I'd ever learn to say goodbye 

How do you say goodbye?
How do you get free?
I tried to say goodbye
But you're still here with me 

If you say you never were here
That you've never been seen
Wonder where we'd stand
If you had stayed 
In my dreams?
You should have stayed 
In my dreams
You should have made me stop
Because you were just a dream
Since I have given up 

How do you say goodbye?
How do you get free?
I tried to say goodbye
But you're still here with me
