- How I Learned to Burn My Teardrops
No sun, no rain, no cloud for me
Just endless peaceful agony
One breath could wash away all joy
And I'd be gone, thy milky boy
There must have been a day in June
When darkness veiled the edge of moon
In somber rage I climbed the hill
- A Crow On My Shoulder
You said ‘hello’
Your amorous voice - sounding dew
Floating upstairs with a kiss in mind
You found me distant
I was a ghost - invisible boy
You said ‘it is so cold’
- Barefoot on Sunrays
Dreams or caves
Just something to forget myself
Blind or deaf
Or something worse to bear the nights
Afternoon
We're sitting at the table
Lights are dimmed
- Bleak
My mind is bleak and toneless are these walls
Moments are passing by like trains that never stop
I think without a thought but somehow I think after all
The breath of nightly calm would cure my tumbling heart
You'd be frightened if you were here
To embrace my life - has to sear
The shore remains unmoved
By those rousing cries that are flirting with sleep
- Heaven Is Not Good Enough
You had so much time
To throw away these chains
To feel the cool touch of fading emptiness
Without a pilot you tried to fly
Escape from sleep... from sleep
You always land on the same cold place
When will you recognize
- Her Golden Robe in Silence Veiled
She’s standind here like carved in stone
In silence veiled, her withered cheek
A childhood queen without a throne
My dreamless sleeping child
Red sorrow’s grinning through my veins
My voice unheard, unseen the tears
I’m waiting where the moonsun reigns
My garden whispers tunes
- Im Spiegel
Was siehst du?
Was siehst du im Spiegel?
Nights!
Ganz einfach nights!
Alles ist tot, was night durchtost von Seele ist.
Gedanken schmieden Wahrheit – Geist ist Leben.
- It Never Felt Like This Before
You can’t hear me speak
‘cause I am mute
I hide too many things
I need a place to hope
I need your help to hope again
You see a laughing boy
This is not true - only a mirage
- Kiss My Fear Away
A wintry morning
Only me alone
Alone with unmourned thoughts
They couldn't speak anymore
A silent afternoon
Far, I heard your voice
And whispering snow
- Man on a Lighthouse Mountain
O, how I'm longing for you
But I know, your heart goes for the blue
O, so hard to let you flow
Into the sea, your window is closed for me
Leave the man on the lighthouse mountain
He never fell in love
He don't know he could miss a woman's glowing kiss
- Mute Boy Sad Girl
A mute boy and a sad girl
Have written letters they couldn't read
A mute boy and a sad girl
Have sung together two different songs
"I didn't tell you that I was really scared
But I just fell deeper without sharing my sorrows.
You couldn't reach me and I couldn't reach you.
- Shells and Butterflies
Warm ocean
My feet in the sand
Swirling motion
Round salty water
Tonight I'll save you
[Chorus:]
- So Close Yet So Far
Visit yourself and tell me how you feel
Always I knew what you meant but now I don't know
I see the trembling veil of your soul and tears that never dry...never
dry
Woe is me - sometimes I can't sleep at all
So close - the distance still grows
And sickness, our foe, still blows
I noticed your fragile thoughts and stars that changed their colours
- Someone's Picture
A misty chamber for a broken self
Whose world lies shattered on the floor
He has no friends just a grey-blue chair
His mind is focused on the wall
"desperation and gloominess
nerves are numb...fragments of a fettered sun"
There is someone who stays in the plain house
Like a pale weathered shade behind windows
- The Cat With the Silvery Paws
Roads, these roads are clad in smoke
Your talks are drifting past like trains - they scarcely stop
Now I'm gone astray in here
Where tired walls are chattering...... Don't stay! Don't stay!
... and all the ones around me are fainting shapes again
Fear has shut away your dreams
- The Forge
Who are you?
You're not the sorrow that you feel
The past is gone
And you have survived
Your thoughts are the anvil
Your feelings iron
Your will is the hammer
So forge your wounds away
- Those Evenings We Yearned
Oh marvellous gale
Did you ever feel lone
When a fairy of gold
Lost her evening tone
We have journeyed through gardens
To an old magic reign
Where our wind-mother danced
To the silence untamed
- Thoughts by a Weary Man's Side
It won't be darker
Everyone told me
It won't be darker
A flowery phrase
Some friends are leaving
They simply go to sleep
And shaking darkness
Slowly ripening
- Towards the Oldest Silence
Years ago I saw a waveless ocean
Far and great, beyond everything I knew
Nights were glowing, the days too long
For a young man's dreamland and his fancy-song
We lay together on summer-meadow islands
Amazing eyes turned towards the oldest silence
We tried to catch a glimpse of our past
- Wir Sind Was Wir Sind
Des Engels Flügelschlag
In Daseinsnächten
Ist nur ein Traum
Den die Welt nicht halten kann
Sehnsucht und Hoffnung
Erlöschen im Alltag
Das zitternde Herz
