The Hanged Man
03:43
|
|||
Look at the hanged man
Floating in space
Upside down flowers
In an upside down vase
Can't look behind him
Can't look ahead
Or blink in the sunshine
Or sleep in his bed
Two lovers stand side by side
On a mountain
Tracing the stars
Racing clear across the sky
Try you won't find him
Alone in his cave
Hearing the ocean
Crash wave after wave
No you can't help him
Caught in a storm
Parting the clouds
And waiting to be born
Two lovers stand side by side
On a mountain
Tracing the stars
Racing clear across the sky
Look at the hanged man
Floating away
Chasing the memory
Of a long lost day
Chasing the memory
Of a long lost day
Chasing the memory
Of a long lost day

Yankee
Suffering southern heat
But not for long
Be kind
Tell me what's on your mind
Before you're gone
Why are you flying home so soon
To the cold white northern moon?
Yankee
Falling into the sea
What will you do?
Be strong
Tell me is something wrong
But tell me true
Are you tired of lying in the shade
Waiting for the sun to fade?
Yankee
Stay with me
I can be
More than I've been
Someday
On a gray rainy day
You'll thank me then
Are you really going soon
To the cold white northern moon?
Yankee
Stuck in the southern heat
What will you do?
Be kind
Tell me what's on your mind
But tell me true

Out In The Storm
03:24
|
|||
The cars race down the freeway
The sun sinks fast at midday
Out in the storm
Out in the storm
Wind blows through open windows
Dust flies in small tornadoes
Out in the storm
Out in the storm
Breaking
Breaking
People try to run ahead
Newspapers held on their heads
And I walk slowly
And I walk slowly
The night comes much too soon
A dark sky without a moon
Out in the storm
Out in the storm
Thunder, a crash of lightning
As if the sun was shining
Out in the storm
Out in the storm
Raging
Raging
Raging
Raging
No place to escape the rain
You dash out on the street again
And I walk slowly
And I walk slowly
And I walk slowly
And I walk slowly

One In A Million
02:13
|

One in a million
How lucky we should meet
And from now on we'll never part
One in a million
Is something rare to see
You're one in a million
And the only one in my heart
That you exist is a miracle
O' wondrous world of wondrous people
One in a million
It makes me sad to think
If I'd passed you out on the sea
One in a million
Like ships our dreams can sink
You're one in a million
And the only one for me
You're one in a million
And the only one for me

Hummingbird
04:04
|

Hummingbird kiss the crown
Of the blossom leaning down
Hummingbird do you know I'm here
Watching you floating free
I see you
You don't see me
Hummingbird I can only stare
Like an angel you will fly away somewhere
In the sky somewhere and disappear
Before you sing me a song
Suddenly you are gone
Hummingbird were you even there?
Like an angel you will fly away somewhere
In the sky somewhere and disappear
Before you sing me a song
Suddenly you are gone
Hummingbird were you even there?

On This Lonely Night
03:46
|
|||
Don't try to confuse me
With your eyes full of tears
It's been hard enough to gather
My strength through the years
All your sweet affection
Like a blinding light
Doesn't fill the space beside me
On this lonely night
But don't worry
It's alright
Much too late to make it right
Make it right
Once I dreamed of walking
With you right by my side
Up and down the hills and valleys
But we never tried
No don't hurry
Take your time
Couldn't ever make up your mind
No don't worry
It's alright
It's much too late to make it right
Make it right
Don't try to confuse me
With your eyes full of tears
Don't want to remember
Who I lost through the years
Who I lost through the years
Who I lost through the years
Who I lost through the years

New Year's Day
03:13
|
|||
Close your eyes
Kiss your hand
And run away
Without a plan
On New Year's Day
New Year's Day
Write your name
In the sand
To wash away
Your shame again
On New Year's Day
New Year's Day
Every street you walk is empty
No one hears a word that you say
New Year's, New Year's Day
The year will end
As it began
If you don't stay
To understand
On New Year's Day
New Year's Day

Silver Balloon
02:37
|
|||
You sleep with the rising sun
And wake when the day is done
You laugh until you're crying
While your silver balloon keeps on flying
You pray but don't believe in dreams
You say they don't mean anything
You lie but keep denying
While your silver balloon keeps on flying
How many years will go by?
How many times can you try?
You wait with open eyes
For signs of life inside
You breath to keep on sighing
While your silver balloon keeps on flying
While your silver balloon keeps on flying

The Good Morning Song
02:23
|
|||
Good good morning
Hope you slept
Good good morning
Hope you dreamt
Of princesses with pony tails
Who run away in fairy tales
So nice to have you back again
So nice to have a brand new friend
Come floating out of misty air
Two days inside a brand new year
Good morning
Good morning
Since life is not a fairy tale
But dark clouds charged with rain and hail
And princesses in purple gowns
Can lose their step and break their crowns
If I could wave a magic wand
With music by Michel Legrand
I'd wake beside you by a stream
Under the stars and watch you dream
Good morning
Good morning
Good morning
Good morning

Shadow
03:59

Gone this far
It's too late to turn back
Gone this far
It's too late to turn back
And the sky has turned from blue to black
Turned it on
But you can't turn it off
Turned it on
But you can't turn it off
And it grips you like a fatal cough
So tell me
What you're gonna do
Won't you tell me
What you're gonna do
When your shadow catches up with you
