Never Letting Go of Your Hand
Partea A:
I dream about, dream for so long
I dream about a place called home
That love will shelter all the kids
Where joy and beauty feed their needs
And I can see the marks on your hand
And all I ask for is to hold my hand
And now we dream about it while we hold our hands
And we both know we shall be friends
I have no fears, no doubts, no worries
I just addore to hear your storries
We have each other and we still have hope
Though we are grains of sand in this old world.
Partea B
And I hope that you will find peace
'Cause your eyes just can't bare
'Can't bare so many tears
If you close them for a while
Fears and doubts will vanish
They could not harm you or anyother soul
Who struggles to find his way back home
And I made a promise to myself
That I shall never let go of your hand.

Slow Down The Time

1. I'm working to slow down the time
While drinking this glass of wine
I'm singing and dancing around
While calling your name up loud
And I dream, I dream of you
And I dream...
2. Oh, I'm falling in love in this dream
And I can't stop
Silence has finally reached me
I start singing again
While calling up you name:
Chorus: Daniel, Daniel, uuu....Daniel...
Outro: I'm working to slow down the time
Now that I found you.

Woodelves

1. You said to me one day that you
Had found some ladybirds and they were blue
I did believe you I still do
That's why I want to search for them with you.
2. Now I can see them everywhere
In a slice of bread, in soup and in your hair
They are so cute and make us smile
It feels so good to be a child.
Bridge: Full of dreams in love with sorries
I know, we'll find
Those woodelves and they'll spread our worries
And bring us light.
Chorus: Uuuuu....
3. I love your eyes, your lips, your ears,
We want to live 400 years
A little house in that old wood
It's all we want and all we should.
Bridge:

Intro/ Part A:
' Your touch, your kindness and love
They are enough to help me grow
But I can feel what's inside you
Every pain, sadness or thrill,
That's my song and I sing about you
And I'll bloom when your love is real'
1. This is a song about a tree in the darkness
This is a song about a boy and his sadness
Things didn't go well, something didn't feel right
And all he could do was wait while searching for the light.
2. It's been more than six years and the magic dind't happen
'Cause people like fruits need time to be rippened
And when every hope has been given away
A simple quiet girl happened to pass his way.
chorus: Oh, there must be a reason
Why we are apart,
Though it breaks my heart
I know I'll find my love
When this Japanese tree will bloom
For you are here with me.
Bridge: Their eyes, have this beautiful light
That lightness every corner in the night
And leads their way to a quiet sea
Their love is pure like the flowers of a Japanese tree.
chorus: Oh, there must be a reason
Why we have met
Having no regret
For leaving all behind
Now this Japanese tree has bloomed
For you are here with me.

Just For A While

Intro: Mmmmm...
1. Let's turn off the radio
Throw out the tv
And find a place where's no one around us
But the blue sky and the wide sea.
Chorus: Just for a while, just for a while
Just for a while, just for a while.
2. Please take me with you
Wherever you wanna go
That's something I've always wanted to do
And I need it so.
Chorus: Just for a while, just for a while
Just for a while, just for a while.
3. We could walk and sleep all nacked
We could wash each other's hair
We could get married under the moonlight
Let them search for us, I don't care.
Bridge: We had to meet and completely change each other's life
Maybe together we could find that place that we both know
There's not much time left so while we are still young
Let's lock the doors and leave this crazy, noisy world.
Chorus: Just for a while, just for a while
Just for a while, just for a while.
Outro: Mmmmm....

1. Most people think
They are right about everything
But they'll never see the real you
'Cause first they ask is: 'how old are you?'
2. They wanna know about the places you've been
But they don't care how far you've gone
All we are is souls in flesh
That will desolve in a flash
Chorus: Walking where the lilies grow
I saw that place I surelly know
I'm not to brave but I must say
I've reached to heaven that day.
3. Whell I know I'm just a simple fool
Who thinks that life cannot be cruel
If you could stand in my shoes
You'd know you had nothing to lose.
Chorus:....

Franz

1. In the summertime Franz told me
That he's no longer a child
That he wants to earn a lot of money
For his woman and his uborn child.
2. In the summertime, Franz showed me
Where we could live and hide
There were no mountains, trees nor flowers
But a small room in a pale light.
Bridge: So I just walked through that door
With all my dreams and all
I closed the door to that house
And let the sun arise.
Chorus: You tell me,
Have you ever tried to love someone
By letting them feel so free
As only a bird could be.
3. In the summertime, Franz wrote me
Letting me know he has a child
And though he ears a lot of money
He's unhappy and wants to live into the wild.

Three People
04:23
|
|||
|
intro: Hmmm...
Chorus: Three people writing on a wall
Three people writing on a wall
Now tell them all
Let them know.
Bridge: Saying: 'This life is so strange
We never know when things could change
If there is no life after this life
That would be so unright.'
1. The 1'st writes about love
And he believes in God
He doesn't doubt what Bible says
Faith is all he has.
The 2'nd frightened by the change
Sometimes she can't control her rage
Against the flowing of the time
Which steals our beauty, peace and mind.
Chorus: Uuuu...
2. The 3rd writes about dying
And he's obsessed in trying
To find an answer, just a sign
Telling us that we'll be fine.
That what we live is not in vain
That our life is not a game
Or just a dream within a dream
But just as real as it may seem.
Chorus: uuuu..
outro: Three people writing on a wall
Three people writing on a wall
Tell them all
Let them know/ Tell them all.

The Waste Of Flowers
02:53
|
|||
|
Intro: uuuuuu...
I wanna say that I'm not afraid though I have no place to go
I wanna stay on this ground and spread my roots deep inside
I know my life doesn't last for too long and that is why:
I wanna dance with you though I fear so
I wanna bloom for, I wanna hide.
Chorus: uuuu...
Outro: Poor flowers enjoy your time
Cruel hands will pick you up in no time
To take you away and put you inside
Into dark rooms you'll slowely die

Ocean
02:52
|

|
You should know by now
Why things and stars and kingdoms come down
Only the ocean you said
When clear with sparkles of red
It's going nowhere, you know?
So years go by,
You fear my dear for people start to let you down
And I remember you once said
'You are your own best friend, don't forget,
Nobody knows you better, understands what you are
But yourself'.
