Roller Coaster
This is the Tale of
A so beautiful hurricane
Life in the spring
And surfing on a really good ride
How since he disappeared
Life will never be the same again
He took us to a land
We had never seen before
When we had given up
Hopes about finding out new shores
He came
Roller Coaster
Going uphill
Such a wonderful thrill
Roller Coaster
Until it all goes wrong
And we’re back to the ground
This is the Tale of
A so much beloved hurricane
We're on the plane
Flying High, Flying Low
Bouncing on clouds through the storm
Life's a roller coaster ride
Sometimes
What a wonderful year
And time to grow
Despite all the tears
That came to flow
In Times of Goodbye
Instead of Hello

So Far The Road
So far the road
Has been so good to me
Taking me places
I don’t know
So many faces
From any life ago
Pop in my dreams
To say hello
With all those friends in my heart
I feel richer than a king
Time and space took us apart
But we’ll never stop caring
Cooking beauty
Whenever we get to meet
Trying to make
The day pretty
Carved into wood
Painted or drawn
Everyday’s new food Is starting at dawn
So far the road Is full of love

Shoes On A Stick

Shoes on a Stick
Inside out shoes on a stick
Lie by the river
For a nap after the picnic
Then we'll follow the water just to see
How does it go
Is it supposed to be
Somewhere someday?
It goes where it flows
We've got love, we've got friends
We've got time on our hands
We could want some more to feed
But isn't it all we need?
How do we know
Are we supposed to see?
Somehow the way
In our feet as they go?
Soon we could,
Stop for a while,
To save our breath
And take our time
For there will be
So many more
Tomorrows
To see

One Two Time
02:30
|

|
One Two Time
One two time
Could it be our friend
Now that we don't bend
For a while to the clock
Like we used to all the time
One two time
Sadly this will end
For a while we can
Pretend it is free
Open for us to
Make it something real
Something just for love
Stuck in time
The sun running its course
Feeling like a change
Could do us good
Stuck in time
It shouldn't be a burden
Wear it like a shoe
And step a mile ahead
Something strange
Is happening to us
Feel that time is water
And get in for a swim
Something good
For sure is to be found
When time is on your side
Searching for the best

GarBaBulGa
Silent man
All alone at the bar
And his eyes turning blue
From the bottles he has laid
Silent man
Standing lost and staring far
And the words turning glue
As they're stuck inside his head
Silent man
Walking miles and years away
Dancing foolishly drunk
Singing merry holidays
Silent man
Every town every bar
Everybody silently fishing beauty from so far
We can only look funny when staring at our dreams
Don't laugh too hard at me
You could be next

Sweet Cool Little Wine

Sweet Cool Little Wine
Sweet Cool Little Wine
With its golden tones
Talking to me while
I strip down to my bones
Feeling warm inside
Chatty with my friends
They're all in my mind
There's a party in my head
The landing will be hard on my own
I happen to sometimes break my bones
Now the wine is clumsy
It's dripping on my chest
It's making me feel dizzy
And slightly self obsessed
I miss your company
We would sing with each other
But time does not agree
I'll soon fall into slumber
From left to right I stumble and dance
The more goes the night the less I make sense
Oh my head, oh my head is shaking
What a night, what a night of diving
Storm and ashes, I'll have to bleach my eyes
Tears are drying, the river's still in town
It is time for a change of mind
Despite all the ghosts around
see what is there on the side
where some fresh air is to be found

And Then She Came
02:44
|

|
And Then She Came
I was about to feel bad all my life
Uselessly trying to get a hold on myself
I'd been appointed to make sure I'll always forget
And then I met you
And out of the blue
There came love
Light out of you spread on me like the spring
Your hand, your smile, your love and your trust
Food for the heart and the soul
We've been appointed to make sure winter was gone
If ever the sun
Hides and we're cold
We'll warm up with love

Different Green

Different Green
Tear up the curtains
Let the sun come in
It’s been dark and dark
Don’t let the spark she’s seen
Fade out, feed it,
Don’t let the fire down
Sail away from
Your own mental jail
Selfish patterns
That always tend to fail
Let go, watch the grass
Wear a different green
Hold on the wind
Blowing in your hair
Calling this life a day
Riding this wave away
From the rotting sands
Of a much too familiar shore
Feel no grief about time
Older skins are made for dust
Wear them down a new season starts
Be no mirror of your former self
Nor judge of your own lights
Kick off the dust, leap in the water
The hangover's passed
Befriend your ghosts
It'll be alright

Esperiance
Someday, somehow
It might just happen
At the moment we stop
Wanting too much,
Expecting too hard
The magic to work
Good or bad, whatever happens
Will not be an end
It's only just started,
The world around us is full of surprises
And love that we have
Is always passed on to everyone
Far too cold the way we're told
There's nothing to expect
They'd make you cry when saying why
There is so few at stake
We left with smiles and rode for miles
To go and see some friend
Just to forget that we could get
Surprises in the end
Out of the fog, out of the blue
After the pain, we're ready for something new
We thought we'd say goodbye
To all those hopes and cry
Out of the blue and nurses out of the way
I heard your mommy tell me
At last he's on the way

Lullabies

Lullabies
Lives and leaves
Fallen from the trees
All winter long
The future's full of seeds
And we made one on our own
And he's coming right in time
Seasons blessed, the summer's warm
Light and love will shine
And all of a sudden
These thoughts I never had will come
Gone are the days
My only worry would be bringing home my bones
And so I'll sing Lullabies
Make up stories just for fun
Dress the days in sunny colors
To watch them dance all together
On the ceiling
We will go to the zoo
And try to sing like the monkeys
Why not fly on a pie
Try to touch at the top
All the stars in the sky
And wait for one, one to drop
And first I'll sing Lullabies

Days To Go
04:14

Days to Go
5 days to go
It's never been so close
5 days to go
Time has flown so fast
We used to be careless fruits
Revolution’s on the way
Now we have become the roots
Of a new someone due anyday
4 days to go
Nine month have past
4 days to go
Trying to hold on those
3 days to go
Something's not right
He's way to quiet
He'd been moving so much
Might he be sleeping
Warm inside his mummy
Before the cold outside.
Gathering his strength
For the Grand Finale
Or just too tired
Might he be dreaming
Warm inside his mummy
Or just asleep.
Enjoying his time
Inside the nursery
Or gone too deep
Don't say those words
I can't hear
Don't say those words
We were just about to meet

One Long Stare

|
One Long Stare
One long stare into
This world of night and grey
A chamber of silence
I knew he was gone
The look upon the face
of the nurse was so sorry
Before her words fell
Hope had disappeared
That’s when we broke down

A Short Eternity

A Short Eternity
9 months after
We learnt
Here comes your life
Well, it seemed
You grew tired
Of the wait
Frozen time and space
A short Eternity
Before
A violent silence fell
From your heart

The Eye Of The Storm

The Eye of the Storm
From the eye of the storm
To the sunny streets below
Wearing a painted smile
Eyes of green mellow
Rainy scars on my cheeks
Exhaustion, the shakiness
My fingers they forgot
How to roll a cigarette
Escaping hospital
For a selfish alone time
Trying to act as if
The nightmare is behind
But the dire truth
Is in the eyes of everyone
My love is there
Lying sad
I'm not beside
To tame the pain
The boy that came out of the den
Will never grow by our side
Yesterday's gone
With tomorrow's son
In the eye of the storm
Nothing is really stable
Everything I touch is mould
In the eye of the storm
Everything I taste is rust
Crumbles into heaps of dust
I bumped into a friend
Who looked sadder than I was
She was raining on my shoulder
I wanted to apologize for not crying
But it's not the time
Too much to do
The summer tears
Will wait for me
To take a seat and realize
What has just happened
Yesterday's gone
With tomorrow's son

Curtains Closed

Curtains Closed
So the eyes in the crowd
Keep staring at you
Careful and nice
At what at been once
Home
A bellyful of hope
Home
A bellyful of love
Home
Way down inside
And we’re coming right out
Coming right out of a mess
You can read it loud
Read it out loud on our face
And there’s home
Home was where the future was
Home
Where the future now is grief
We’ll hide away
Go the see
The sun is out
Before closing the curtains at
Home
Now a place of love and pain
Home
Out of love and out of patience
Home
Where the future was to love
Home
Now a bellyful of silence

Beware Of The Bygone Bean
O boy, what have we done
Did we not do anything
We should have done
To help you be
Safe and strong
Make sure you'd stay
Warm inside
Until the day
The sun would shine
On you
The feeling is so loud inside
You know, it burns
We're feeling torn
Swept in a storm
And on our own
We try to find out what went wrong
Stuck in a loop
And feeling guilt
Searching for clues
Having to know how to be strong
That's when the smiles are precious
Whatever they are for
Confidence has broken
We're left alone and naked
Come on be courageous
Friends you're more than welcome
Our world is now so shaken
We'll need you more than ever
From the look in your eyes
We know it's not easy to find
The right words, the right hug
But be sure that there are none
For now that we lost a part of future
We wouldn't want to lose our past
Though we realize, friends
You might be scared to look
At the face of unsuccess
But there's no hopelessness
Love is around
We'll let the time
And love around
Smooth away the pain
Guilt we'll have
To wear it of
To feel some hope again
Now time has changed its course
We will take it slow
Beware
Of the bygone bean

Little bird has flown its way
Plucked upon a sunny day
He's gone
Rain is pouring on our hearts
But it won't tear us apart
There's love
To think of him in the clouds
Is making our pain a little less loud
There's love
Little bird has flown its way
Wherever the flames took him away
He's gone
Whatever he felt before the slumber
We wish he had felt a little safer
For sure you slept warm
Right until the end
And love poured on your home
Like a summer rain

The Age Of the Moment
It feels so terribly wrong
This song will never be sung
This tune, we've been singing for long
The words, were coming along
No storm in sight, no change inside
No way to understand
A symphony was here to grow
And it faded in our hands
It sounds so terribly loud
The world losing its colours
Shouting in a defeaning sound
Why now? in the final hours
Waiting for your love to come
Learning it will never do
Learning how to dig a grave
For our love who'll always be
In our lives
With our love
Love is to live
Love all those
Who'll always be here
In our lives
With our love

Little Man
Good bye my little man
My dream was to hold your hand
Play songs for you that have no end
And build castles with the sand of the sea
Where we’d be watching the boats
And wonder where do they sail
Do they leave for good or come back
We’d have had to learn to say goodbye
I’d learn with you everyday
About how always we may
And should see the funny sides
Never dwell too long on the ones
Too dark to see beyond the night
When the sun comes and brings some light
And though shadows are always here
You can walk besides them without fear
I’ve learned from you to let go
Of an idea of tomorrow
Welcome the days, sing with a smile
You taught me how to say goodbye
To you

InterTide
This was the story of a one of a kind
Lost hurricane
Who came to paint our sky
With sunshine and rain
Contrasted tones
Splashed on our bones
A year of planning, dealing
With the newest kind of fears
Newest kinds of joys and laughing
To end up in tears
And through the swirls of passing clouds
A light is here, spelling your name
Changing time and making it slow
Living the days as they come and go
Slowly scars as the sun is shining
Burn less loud as we start accepting
Walking on an island, hand in hand
Watching the tide slowly starting over
On the way the sound of waves
The soothing tune of turning times
Telling us to keep our lives open for more
Who knows where and how the wind will blow
We may as well smile
This was the story of a wild hurricane
Blowing so loud our lives will never be the same
Keep it wide
That smile
That shines
From deep inside
Leave all the tears behind
Go on a sunny ride
