It won't take too long
03:44

It’s not the time to think it over
Now that the end is getting closer
No need to have all the information
Stay on course in the right direction now
It won't take too long
Clench my teeth and keep pushing on
Soon we're gonna leave it all behind
Like a bad dream
I got my love to take me thru this
I’ll keep the faith in the world around me
Don't wallow in self-compassion
Don't give up when fate is smashing us
It won't take too long…
As if it never happened
Hold on!

I let it out
04:35

I let it out, didn’t mean to be so rude
I said it clear not to be misunderstood
We both know
We’ve not been talking too much
I let it out, I set it straight.
If I’m wrong then time will tell
But it was rotting inside
I let it out in the worst moment I guess
I felt the need to find a way out this mess
Things have changed
Times are becoming quite tough
I let it out, set it straight
It’s not that I want an end
I just let it out
Now I find myself
In a sea of doubts
I can’t stand to see
I made you feel so sad
Need to let the light shine in
Into those too long closed rooms
Cleaning wounds will help to get the healing soon
I let it out, I don’t know if I’m being mean
For just one time I’ll let you know how I feel
It makes no sense to play along with this charade
I let it out, I set it straight
If I’m wrong just time will tell
I just let it out

East wind
02:50
|

East wind is here again bound to west
Egyptian single-winged beetle shaped
They say that it will bring heat and wet
Be careful so it don’t steal your hat
East wind is here again blowing so strong
Red banners on the beach, don’t you dare go
I hardly hear my thoughts
Thru this crazy howling wind.
Be careful so it don’t drive you insane
You better walk close to the walls
So they protect you
They say it will last five long days more
God help us all!
East wind blow again!

Last night I dreamed of you
A hot summer night
I was back from holidays
My heart beating fast
Wearing your short floral dress
I heard your voice like chimes
You were so young
Held me tight
Pale as the moon
Your silver streak was shining
Tearing the darkness and the mist
To guide me
Last night I dreamed of you
In the middle of your war
It was so hard to see
Tearing us apart
You've always been your worst enemy
And you never gave up
Causing so much pain
All around
I dreamed of you
Under the yoke of madness
And when I woke up
I was sunk in sadness

Ole Hostel Inn

Ole Hostel Inn
Such a pleasant place to be
Shall I call to book before it's too late?
Wide open sky
Winter noons and summer nights
Far away from dark omens of fate
Warm company
In a time of desperate need
Talking all at once like yelling kids
Discussing fines,
Fried tomato sauce and life
Laughing 'till It hurts at silly things
At Ole Hostel Inn
Cheap homemade food to heal a soul
And for a moment life is how it used to be
Keep drinking wine at coffee time
And stretch the legs a bit
'cos no one wanna leave
Ole Hostel Inn
Make a gesture to Monique
Let her know we need another round
Turn to the sun
Squeeze the day until it's gone
Crossing fingers feeling safe and sound
Ole Hostel Inn

A cab to United Nations
Not an easy shot
From a carpet cleaning truck
A question for Mr. Townsend
Do you know that man?
But the knife has hit his back
It's no fun
Got to get to Chicago and stay on the run
20th Century
Cleaning my brown sunglasses
Light a cigarette
After lunch in the dining car.
You pulled my hand close to your mouth
To blow out the match
Got no place to sleep tonight
Take good note
Drawing room E, car 39 0 1
20th Century, Modern times
We'll never get caught
We'll climb down the president’s face
I won't let you fall
I'll never let go of your hand
20th Century, Modern times, North by Northwest

Self-Pity
04:17
|

|
Self-pity
Why is the world so unfair?
Self-pity
I never get what I deserve
Bittersweet feeling
Like a good old gin
Self-pity
Guess I could get used to this
I’m singing the blues
What else can I do?
Self-pity, self-pity
Yeahh!

Same race
02:39
|
|||
|
In the eighties you were always dressed in black
Pretty little rebel girl serious and wild
We were the last to leave and the first to come
It’s good to be in the same race that you run
When I don’t hear about you for a long time
I always know it’s you at the first glance
I can’t believe you still got that jacket on
I don’t want to be in the race if you don’t run
And it’s so good to see you rise again
So good to see you shine again
So good to see you rise again
Makes me feel the song will never end
Your eyes tell me that you lived a thousand lives
Never heard you complain you are too wise
To know there are few things you can count on
It’s good to be in the same race that you run
And it’s so good to see you rise again…

Wondering aloud
03:58
|
|||
|
Wondering aloud
If the empty streets that you walk alone
Will ever hold again voices and laughter
The walls
Are now filled with flags dividing us and them
They always failed to keep from fear and hunger
Praying aloud for salvation
When you know no god will hear
Rubbing your eyes
But the visions refuse to disappear
The sun
Made some flowers bloom
Between the concrete squares
And for a while you feel a little warmer
Don't stop
Until you're tired enough and your body hurts
And maybe you can sleep a little longer
And time runs in a funny way
Where past conquers today.
And words that were so revealing once
Are now full of emptiness.
I wish that you could stay a little longer
How0 I miss living life big again!

Behind the hills
03:05
|
|||
|
The sun is almost gone
Behind the hills
And darkness has taken its place
The day's been so long
And I only want
To get some sleep
Tonight
How can I forget what I've seen?
What we never expected is real
Now we're on our own
And I really need
To get some sleep
Tonight
Fade away tonight
