Trouble
I keep the secret
To myself
Just like you
And I sense the shadows
Fall from grace
As I touch you
Just to have this feeling
Falling once again
Tripping out on your love
Trip it as you come and go
And we will be in trouble
Out on a storm-tossed sea
We will lose ourselves
As we hold onto each other
And now the sound of the world
Is coming through
To remind me
No, I can't stay for long
But I can't be without you
Strung out on this feeling
Falling once again
Do we really need to know
How this will end
'Cause we will be in trouble
Out on a storm-tossed sea
We will lose ourselves
As we hold onto eachother
Yes, we will be
Yes, we will be
Out on a storm-tossed sea

Monterosso
Your voice calls me back
Colour of morning
Open window
Scattered light
My thoughts are yet surreal
Still holding onto dreams
When one world meets the other
There is a moment without memory
I can hear the song rising
and I know this song
I can hear the voices blending
perfectly together
Outside is a blue day
From the sea to the sky
Outside is a new day barely just begun
With no memory
I can hear the song rising
And I know this song
I can hear the voices blending
Perfectly together
Come sing to me
Close to me
Come sing with me
And stay with me...
I can hear the song rising
And I know this song
I can hear the voices blending
Perfectly together
Still holding onto dreams
Still holding onto dreams

Joy
Will I ever learn
How not to fear
What has to be
Can it be
Will I ever dare
With no despair
To recognize
A joy so pure
See everything
See it all come true
Come to you
Feel everything
Feel it all come true
Come to you
Easily
You say to me
Every day is new
The chances few
Don't forget
Don't ask me why
I hesitate...
When morning comes
The truth is clear
See everything
See it all come true
Come to you
Feel everything
Feel it all come true
Come to you
Easily
Will I ever learn
A joy so pure
Joy, so pure

Scarlet
What we never had
We never lost
What we never gave
We never got
Never sure what we really wanted
Needed or hoped for
Nevermore I say
If you can't love beyond yesterday
If you can't let it live still today
If you lose and I leave
Will you see
There is no way back this time
The colours are strong this time of year
Scarlet desire
It cuts through my heart
Oh, so true
It's all around me
All that I long for
Nevermore I say
If you can't love beyond yesterday
If you can't let it live still today
If you lose and I leave
Will you see
There is no way back this time

Heaven
The sound of you
The breath of you
Keeps coming
Keeps me warm
Keep coming back to me, back to me
I cross the line
I walk on through
Keep seeing
This otherness
how it could have been, should have been
Eyes towards heaven
Blue as your eyes
No clouds to shadow
A brighter day
Are we the angels
High above
We take the hurt
Bless those little hands, little hands
Eyes towards heaven
Blue as your eyes
No clouds to shadow
A brighter day
Someone is calling
Will she be heard
You have to keep calling for someone to find you
And I'm still calling
Calling for thee
You have to keep calling for someone to find you
The sound of you
The breath of you
Keeps coming
The sound of you
Keeps coming
Keep coming, keep coming

Southern Sky
This is happiness
It's here to last
October leaves are having to let go
I catch them as they fall
And let them slip away
As I look towards the southern skies
Get lost in the trick of the light
This season won´t let go
And I know I will still have you
Yes, I know I will still have you
Here forever now
I really want to love
This is happiness
The here and now
Without the fear of having to let go
This is how it feels
And I know I will still have you
Yes, I know I will still have you
Here forever now
I really want to love
Like a satellite at night
An imaginary star
Like a signal in the sky
I follow where you are
If I close my eyes to see
Where you are going to
Gaze up to you my love
Wherever you will be
'Cause I know I will still have you
Yes, I know I will still have you
Here forever now
I really want to
Love

Morning '71
The sound of you
The breath of you
Keeps coming
Keeps me warm
Keep coming back to me, back to me
I cross the line
I walk on through
Keep seeing
This otherness
how it could have been, should have been
Eyes towards heaven
Blue as your eyes
No clouds to shadow
A brighter day
Are we the angels
High above
We take the hurt
Bless those little hands, little hands
Eyes towards heaven
Blue as your eyes
No clouds to shadow
A brighter day
Someone is calling
Will she be heard
You have to keep calling for someone to find you
And I'm still calling
Calling for thee
You have to keep calling for someone to find you
The sound of you
The breath of you
Keeps coming
The sound of you
Keeps coming
Keep coming, keep coming

Listen
There's a feeling
I know it well
There's a feeling
I can tell
When it comes
I'll be long gone
Let the light down low
Hear my prayer
Let the darkness in
Disappear
When the night comes closing in
All fading now
In haze
You are standing there
And I want to reach out
To be by your side
Hold on for me
Silently
I say your name
Silently
I stay the same
If I lose again and again
All fading now
In haze
You are standing there
And I want to reach out
To feel what it´s like
Hold on for me

I Think I Love You
I have a secret
A picture of you
You are in my mind
Caught in the crossfire
A cold winter's night
I was there
Looking at you
Trying so hard to understand
Anything,
What's happening
Searching for you
In a broken dream
Trying to understand
You're not here anymore
And I think I love you
yes I think I do
Don't let it be true
Don't let it be true
No one can comfort me
Nobody knows
What I really feel
How can I tell you
The things that I keep
In my heart
Closing my eyes
Trying so hard to understand
All the lies,
I realise
The tears in my eyes
Guess I'm trying
To make you understand
I'm not here anymore
And I think I love you
Yes I think I do
Don't let it be true
Don't let it be true
I know I know too much
I know I've seen too much
I can't pretend anymore
I know I love you so
and I can't let you go
I won't forget anymore
'Cause I think I love you
Yes I think I do
Yes I think I love you
Don't let it be true
Don't let it be true

Show More Love
Pale night, the light is dying
Breathing frost-like winter air
Times are changing, faith coming
Looking over fields of fading green
I loved you so, some time ago
Yes we were oh, so meant to be
You never told me, never said
The only way to love was to let you go
Slowly you're fading, like the colours in the sky
Cold careless evening, I'm trying to say goodbye
All this time I've waited, just to wonder why
You never had the guts to try
Fly, fly black crow
Soaring in the sky
Leave me now, let me go
Time has come for me to find my home
Slowly you're fading, like the colours in the sky
Cold careless evening, I'm trying to say goodbye
All this time I've waited, just to wonder why
You never had the guts to try
Show more love, the writing's on the wall
In your heart, you will fall again
Slowly you're fading, like the colours in the sky
Cold careless evening, I'm trying to say goodbye
All this time I've waited, just to wonder why
you never had the guts to try
Show more love
Show more love
Show more love
Show more love

Alone To The Chill
Melting away
In moments gone by
In forbidden thoughts
Alone to the chill
​
Careful to touch
What breaks easily
Time turns a blind eye
To a second chance
Hang on
Hold on
Don't let go
Please don't say no
As you close your eyes
Hang on to the dream
A feeling of love
Of how it can be
It's taking your breath
Questioning you
​
And is this the one
The one for your heart
The light in the dark
You shoot to the stars
​
Hang on
Hold on
Don't let go
Please don't say no
As you close your eyes
Hang on
Close your eyes
Hang on
As you close your eyes
Hang on to the dream
​
Alone to the chill
Alone to the chill

Blue Sky Blue
There's nothing that I would rather do
Than run away with you
To this paradise place
Far away
There's nothing that I would rather feel
A life so pure, so real
Make a difference this time
Seize the day
​
When I look to the blue sky, blue
I want to be with you, just you
Promises, promises
Make believe
We want it to be
It's only one word away
I'll do anything to make you stay
Promises, promises
I believe
It´s just you and me
I don't want to remain like this
Now that I know what I miss
and I've made up my mind
what do you say
Just look to the blue sky, blue
I want to be with you, just you
Promises, promises
Make believe
We want it to be
It's only one word away
I'll do anything to make you stay
Promises, promises
I believe
In you and me
And I'm longing to wake in the morning
To the sound of the waves on the shoreline
Free as can be
It's a new chance for me
And I´m leaving
​
I look to the blue sky, blue
I want to be with you, just you
Promises, promises
Make believe
We want it to be
Look to the blue sky, blue
I want to be with you, just you
Promises, promises
I believe
It's just you and me

The False Alarm
If I could only sleep this all away
Tidy up all the mess that I've made
If it was all a false alarm
No sweat beads in my palm
If I could run a million miles from here
Leave long before you feel the damage done
If it was just a false alarm
'cause I don't mean to do no harm
So many ways to begin
So many ways to end
It's a heartbreaking record spinning round
Listen to the sound
Play it once again
If we could wake up side by side, slowly
Look to the soft horizon, if only
It was just a false alarm
Nothing to break the morning calm
So many ways to begin
So many ways to end
It's a heartbreaking record spinning round
I listen to the sound
Play it once again
The way out of here, is the perfect escape
You let my hand go, as I close the door
The way out of here, it is perfectly clear
Here we go again

Dawn Chorus
You know your time is coming
You see it in the skyline
Something inside is aching
You don't know what is making you
Doubt all the songs you're singing
Doubt all the melodies that
Come to mind as you look
Out in the quietness
For you
Only you
In each and every morning you
Look in the mirror just to
Remember who you are and
Why you keep on keeping on
You feel the spring is coming
You know the colours will
Return to you
And I walk on fearless
And I hold on to the promise
As long as you hold on to me
Outside the songbirds singing
The dawning of a new day
I hear the children's laughter
The city sounds awake me
And it's all falling into place
I tell myself I have to face
The world outside my window
The world that's coming close to me
And I walk on fearless
And I hold on to the promise
As long as you hold on to me
​
And I walk on fearless
As long as you hold on to me
​
You know your time is coming
You know your time is coming

Gardengreen
He calls me from the garden green
I hear him soft and near
Takes me to another world
Heaven far from here
Calls me to his loneliness
No one else around
Silently I settle in
Listen for the sound
Higher, love is all around
Higher, never to come down
I feel, heaven it can be
Something says your heart belongs to me
He calls me with his blood red love
A wilderness obscure
Everything will disappear
A gentle breeze so pure
Higher, love is all around
Higher, never to come down
I feel, heaven it can be
Something says your heart belongs to me
Fade into to the setting sun
Higher, love is all around
Higher, never to come down
I feel, heaven it can be
Something says your heart belongs to me
Something says your heart belongs to me
Something says your heart belongs to me

White Cloud
White cloud passing by
In the restless wind
Feel the newfound pleasure flow
And the black cloud letting go
​
Up above the world
Like a spirit moving free
How the light breaks through
Leading me to pastures new
White cloud, set me free
Wild wind, fly with me
Will you follow me down every road I go
White cloud drifting by
From beyond a distant storm
Watching from the sycamore tree
So curious to see
White cloud, set me free
Wild wind, fly with me
Will you follow me down every road I go
White cloud, set me free
White cloud, set me free
Wild wind, fly with me
Will you follow me down every road I go

Seize My Heart
Seize my heart, seize my love
Seize my dream, seize my love
He is the future
Coming to light
With a new dawn breaking
It will be my making
​
He is the one
I can't oppose
He looks at me across the room
Across a world of time
Standing still
Seize my heart, seize my love
Seize my dream, seize my love
Tender as morning
Whispers to me
With a smile to wake me
Never to forsake me
​
He takes me to a place of peace
Across a bridge I once
Thought too far
Seize my heart, seize my love
Seize my dream, seize my love

Himmelblå
Det er ingenting jeg heller vil
Enn å velge en gang til
Finne drømmen igjen
Et helt annet sted
Og følelsen vil ikke slippe tak
Det er vel en mening bak
En lengsel så stor
La oss dra
Jeg ser mot en himmel blå
Du vet hva jeg venter på
Lover du, lover jeg
Tro på deg
Så drar vi avsted
Det føles litt rart å si
Jeg vil bare du skal bli
Lover du, lover jeg
Tro på meg
Jeg vil ha deg med
Det finnes et annet liv et sted
Hvis bare du blir med
Vi kan reise vår vei
Du og jeg
Bare se mot en himmel blå
Du vet hva jeg ønsker nå
Lover du, lover jeg Tro på deg
Så drar vi avsted
Kanskje føles det rart å si
Jeg vil bare du skal bli
Lover du, lover jeg
Tro på meg
Jeg vil ha deg med
Jeg ønsker å våkne en morgen
Høre lyden av åpent og stille hav
Tenk å være helt fri
Å tørre å si
Se nå drar jeg
Jeg ser mot en himmel blå
Du vet hva jeg venter på
Lover du, lover jeg
Tro på deg
Så drar vi avsted
Se mot en himmel blå
Du vet hva jeg ønsker nå
Lover du, lover jeg
Tror på meg Jeg vil ha deg med

Back To Where It Started
Back to where it started
Everything complete
The view outside the window
Where they used to meet
She was a mystery
Her cheeks so rosy
He thought that he could be
The one and only
Back to where it started
Everything so sweet
The flowers in the garden
The kiss and the heartbeat
She was a mystery
Her cheeks so rosy
He thought that he could be
The one and only
Back to where it started
Everything complete
Back to where it started
Where they used to meet
​
Where they used to meet
Where they used to meet

One Day
One day we will look back
Look back to feel today
Strolling along hand in hand
Mysterious you say
'Cause you don't know
And I don't know
We don't know where we're meant to go
Until the morning comes
Milder at daybreak
And the sunbeams force their way
Through the heartache
Why, why do we close our eyes
Let's just be together
Here and now
Day by day together
To try to make love grow
’Cause you don't know
And I don't know
We don't know where we're meant to go
Until the morning comes
Milder at daybreak
And the sunbeams force their way
Through the heartache
Why, why
Oh, why do we close our eyes
Why, why do we close our eyes

Two Of A Kind
In the night
When I come home
The lights are low
And I’m alone
And when I look
Towards your house
I know you’re there
You’re on your own
Just like me
Just like me
Just like me
We’re two of a kind
And I forget how close you are
And still it feels so far
I know, I know, I know
When the sun sets quietly
Whisper back to me
I know, I know, I know
Every day
It’s just the same
The desolate dawn
The sun sets late
And it’s been years
Since I last thought
Maybe I could have
Someone like you
Just like you
Just like you
Just like you
We’re two of a kind
And I forget how close you are
And still it feels so far
I know, I know, I know
When the sun sets quietly
Whisper back to me
I know, I know, I know
Just like me
Just like me
Just like me
We’re two of a kind
​
Oh, two of a kind
We're two of a kind

Scars
Now the weather’s changing
It’s colder than before
Now the sands are shifting
Right outside our door
My heart beats faster
The rain tastes bitter
And I don’t feel the same
Daydreaming
Distracted from the shades
Daydreaming
The world fades
The eyes of a stranger
Heals my aching skin
The touch of another
Where do we begin
My heart beats faster
The rain tastes bitter
And I don’t feel the same
Daydreaming
Distracted from the shades
Daydreaming
The world fades
Daydreaming
If I should fall from grace
Daydreaming
The world fades
Now the weather’s changing
Now the sands are shifting
And I'm daydreaming
​
Now the weather's changing
Now the sands are shifting

Memory Lane
Could have been
Should have been
Or would have been
If only with you
Possibly
Probably
Just maybe
It’s all in the blue
In the hazy horizon
The high hopes
That we cling to
And the paths
We cross
I get lost
In illusions of you
And it’s love, hearts and kisses
Hello and goodbyes
Could love like this be denied
And here we go
The yes and no
The yes and no
The sweet contradictions
And how we fade
Into the night
Afraid to separate
Facts from the fiction
Could have been
Should have been
Or would have been
A secret seduction
It’s love, hearts and kisses
Hello and goodbyes
Could love like this be denied
​
And it’s love, hearts and kisses
Hello and goodbyes

Winter Song
Winter settles all around
Your lips are cold and so are mine
How the world is frozen
In a breath of innocence
All my dreams are out of focus
And the song, it flies away
It belongs to you
Oh, please let me hear it too
If I could be in the song with you
Sing the words of love like you do
Float on the song the way you do
Searching for the words that hide
Behind doors, in all our secrets
For a simple answer
In your mysterious mind
If I could be in the song with you
Sing the words of love like you do
Float on the song the way that you do
If I could be in the song with you
Sing the words of love like you do
Float on the song the way you
Sing the words of love like you
Float on the song the way you do

Away Away
Footprints move
Across my path
Unexpectedly
You breathe warm
And touch my heart
Leave your traces inside
It’s all for a moment
A sweet little time
On our wings
Across the sky
Away, away
To foreign grounds
A sweet little while
To float on high
All so faint
And far from me
Comes alive
Within reach
In a silent breath of faith
From your mouth to mine
It’s all for a moment
A sweet little time
On our wings
Across the sky
Away, away
To foreign grounds
A sweet little while
To float on high
And I’m calling out for more
When you’re gone, gone, gone
And I’m waiting by the door
´Till you come, come, come
Away, away
To foreign grounds
A sweet little while
To float on high

And It's The Loneliness
It’s early morning
The promise I made
A new beginning
Don’t let it fade
The feeling today
Forgotten is another yesterday
It’s never easy
Never enough
The roads are many
Some of them rough
Don’t let me down
Forgotten is another yesterday
And it’s the loneliness I fear
Can only bring back the tears
How the waves are rushing in
Oh, can’t you see
It’s all in the skyline
Every day, the ray of the sunshine
To keep our love alive
Oh, can’t you see
City lights are blinding
Through the night, serenading
To keep our love alive
Oh, how we tried
Late in the day
People race by
I’m standing still
I ask myself why
Here is the now
Forgotten is another yesterday
And it’s the loneliness I fear
Can only bring back the tears
How the waves are rushing in
Oh, can’t you see
It’s all in the skyline
Every day, the ray of the sunshine
To keep our love alive
Oh, can’t you see
City lights are blinding
Through the night, serenading
To keep our love alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive

The Wanderers
Gloria in excelsis Deo
et in terra pax homiibus bonae voluntatis
Laudamus te, benedícimus te
cum Sancto Spíritu: in gloria Dei Patris
​
All the stars out in the night
Shimmer silver, solemn light
Dancing on the wavy sea
Holding secrets endlessly
All the pavements left lonely
Alleyways worn out, weary
Leading wanderers day by day
On their ceaseless way
The world is sound asleep it seems
Wrapped in darkness, quiet dreams
Even the trees on the highest hill
Stand so proud and perfectly still
Each and every year goes by
All so precious, but how they fly
Drip away like melting ice
Slip away with fast goodbyes
The world is sound asleep it seems
Wrapped in darkness, quiet dreams
Even the trees on the highest hill
Stand so proud and perfectly still

You Keep Me At Arm's Length
You keep me at arm’s length
Out in the uncertain
I’m slowly losing my strength
And what do I know, we’re closing the curtains
You never let me love you
The way I think I should
And I no longer stay true
‘Cause you leave me thinking, wondering if I could
Something forgotten a long time ago
I can´t remember who I am
I’m looking for someone
To lighten my darkened heart
Constantly on the run
Shortcuts and backstreets, and back to the start
You never let me love you
The way I think I should
And I no longer stay true
‘Cause you leave me thinking, wondering if I could
Something forgotten a long time ago
I can’t remember who I am
And I walk the streets in silence
Trying my best not to give a damn
You keep me at arm’s length
Out in the uncertain
You keep me at arm’s length
And here we are, closing the curtains

Here Comes The Train
Closer to my destination
Beginning or the end
I’m here at the station
Home is just around the bend
All I left will be mine again
This is what I have to do
Here comes the train
Take me away, let me be with you
Angel, come to me again
Your vision is a light shining
Angel, another chance, and then
Maybe I will see the silver lining
Once I was there for you
Now who have I come to be
Here comes the train
Take me away, let me be with you
Another journey
Again I lost control
Please have mercy
Forgive my lonely soul
There’s not much I can undo
Angel, I walk in dreams with you
Closer to my destination
Beginning or the end
I’m here at the station
Home is just around the bend
Here comes the train
Take me away, let me be with you

Into The Shadows
If I could tell you
How I feel
Find the words to persuade you
To come near
I’m a whisper in your ear
If I sit closer
Lean on your shoulder
Close enough to hear you breathe
By your side
Into the shadows
Far and wide
Into the shadow
If you could see me
Who I am
The one you know who’s always there
Behind the masquerade
The devil inside
I’m destined to be
The one in darkness
By your side
Into the shadows
Far and wide
Into the shadow
Whisper, whisper, whisper
I am here
Whisper, whisper, whisper
I am here
By your side
Into the shadows
Far and wide
Into the shadow

Oh Hard Times
I wish I was unbreakable
That every wound would heal
How strong it would make me feel
I wish every path would always light up
And that night would turn to day
And I’d be the one to lead the way
Once we had everything
Blissfully wide-eyed
Oh, hard times
Don’t leave us in the dark
I wish I could stand upright through the storm
Give whatever it would take
Never make another mistake
And I know it’s too much to ask for
And I can only hope and pray
That you will be the one to lead the way
Once we had everything
Blissfully wide-eyed
Oh, hard times
Don’t leave us in the dark

Sheltering Sky
I look up towards the endless blue
The sheltering sky
I just need to be with you
The day has just begun
The sun’s on fire
And we’re still on the run, and we’re on fire
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burning bright
Turn, turn, turn, turning to the light
Learn, learn, learning how to love
And I fly like a feather in the clouds
Silent wonderland
Far from the faces in the crowds
The day has just begun
The sun’s on fire
Forever on the run, and we’re on fire
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burning bright
Turn, turn, turn, turning to the light
Learn, learn, learning how to love
​
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burning bright
Turn, turn, turn, turning to the light
Learn, learn, learning how to love

One Step
One step
After the other
Keep us together
Walk through the dark
​
Daylight
It’s there in the distance
Merciful shining
See me through this night
Through the wilderness
You walk with me
And no tomorrow
Will set me free
Move on
Nothing’s unspoken
Prayers are unbroken
Between you and me
Praising
A new beginning
There’s no escape
And we’re on our way
Through the wilderness
You walk with me
Maybe tomorrow
Will set me free

My Dream Will Never End
It’s that time of year
My thoughts are drifting off again
To him, I send my love
To the horizon
Time is passing by so quickly
Traces fading fast
The wind is a wintry sigh
The world is frozen
My dream will never end
Roam across the forest
Fading into white
Tell me, please be honest
Where would you rather be
Than here with me
Frozen in the moment
He keeps coming back to mind
And searching for atonement
It’s not over, not over
Knowing I will find him
Fate will take me there
Hold on
Hold on a little longer
My dream will never end
Roam across the forest
Fading into white
Tell me, please be honest
Where would you rather be
Than here with me
My dream will never end
Roam across the forest
Fading into white
Tell me, please be honest
My dream will never end
My dream will never end
My dream will never end
My dream will never end

Travelling
In the grey misty morning
In the pale morning light
In the mirror I stare
Into those tired eyes
And the lonely lamp post outside
Shines it’s sombre, yellow light
In the dusky, rainy morning
I will be leaving
Some day, somewhere
I will go travelling
Some day, some day, some day
Feels like I’m made of clay
Shaped and modelled day by day
I could loose myself
In shapeless grey
Some day, somewhere
I will go travelling
Some day, some day, some day

Answer Me Now
Answer me now
Don’t hesitate
Answer me now
Don’t wait
Answer me now
Before it’s too late
I’m out of tune
And you’ve broken down
We don’t speak
And we both want to leave this town
You’re leaving it late
Don’t leave me to drown
Too late to go back
To how it used to be
It’s gone too far
And we are drifting off at sea
My glass is empty
Yours is half full
Our love was plenty
Now it feels cruel
You’re leaving me here
Maybe I’m a fool
Too late to go back
To how it used to be
It’s gone too far
And we are drifting off at sea
Tomorrow comes with promises
Every day again
There’s no such thing as common sense
Until love comes back again
We’re drifting off at sea
Drifting aimlessly
It’s gone too far, lost track of who we are
Has it really, really, gone too far

Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time
When we were lovers
Drifting through the days
We found eachother
Once upon a time
Love lifting clouds away
Don’t talk no more, give in to this
Don’t lose this chance, you’ll only miss
With all the time in the world
You think the moments last
With all the time in the world
Just loving you
With all the love in the world
You think that life will last forever
And ever, and ever
Do you remember the time
when we were falling
Our heads held up high
No one to hear the calling
Remember the time
You know the reason why
Don’t talk no more, give in to this
Don’t lose this chance, you’ll only miss
With all the time in the world
You think the moments last
With all the time in the world
Just loving You
With all the love in the world
You think that life will last forever
And ever, and ever

Breathing In Breathing Out
Don’t wait for me
I won’t be there
This restlessness
It’s like the wind
Calling out, reaching out for love
Make it last longer
When it’s gone
Don’t follow
Breathing in, breathing out
Let go
Moving in, moving out
Give into temptation
Holding on, holding out
I need you so
When the night’s falling
Don’t follow
Time after time
I will return
For your embrace
Your warm shelter
Breaking out, reaching out for love
Make me feel stronger
And when it’s gone
Move on
Breathing in, breathing out
Let go
Moving in, moving out
Give into temptation
Holding on, holding out
I need you so
When the night’s falling
Don’t follow

Freeze The Moment
Freeze the moment
Treasure the feeling
Close my eyes and trust in you
Show me the way
To peaceful wilderness
The river running wild and free
The trees are breathing
The fields are alive
A gentle breeze is taking me
I know somewhere
Away from here
Oh, so lonely
To disappear
In silence
You wipe away the tears
Freeze the moment
Treasure the feeling
Show me the way
To peaceful wilderness

We Dance Alone
High rise, sunrise
The view looks good from here
Streetlight, starlight
The air I breathe so clear
Never, ever
Exit state of mind
The sunrise in your eyes
Memories rewind
Oh, we dance alone
Away from here
Nothing to fear
We disappear
Oh, we dance alone
High rise, sunrise
No future and no past
Treasure, the pleasure
Make the moment last
Forever, together
The soft exploding now
The magic, the music
The love you dare allow
Oh, we dance alone

Dreamers
What if something
Gets in the way
Steals your longing
And what if time runs out
Will you still be a dreamer
Still be that believer
Will you still be a dreamer
Just give it one more chance
Standing face to face
With your destiny
When every moment counts
More than ever before
Will you still be a dreamer
Still be that believer
Will you still be a dreamer
Just give it one more chance
How they glitter in the dark
I catch the falling stars
How they shine out in the dark
I reach out for the stars
Will you still be a dreamer
Forever a believer
Will you still be a dreamer
Just give it one more chance
Will you still be a dreamer
Will you still be a dreamer
Just give it one last chance

Happiness
Bring me back
To wonder
Drifting through the days
I’m on the edge
Without you
Bring me back to mystery
Happiness
You bring me back to
Happiness
You take me back to
Longer days, stronger days
You give me back my
Happiness again
Bring me back
The sweetness
Bless the night and day
Life with you
Untainted
Sorrow seems to fade away into
Happiness
You bring me back to
Happiness
You take me back to
Longer days, stronger days
You give me back my
Happiness again

Runaway Turnaround
It’s the only way out, run away
Leave the trouble behind, and turn away
Can you hear me when I shout, stay away
The only way to break out, just a blink away
Thunder
Black clouds from yesterday
Breakdown
No getaway
Thunder
It’s way too dark to see
Forgiveness
All I want is to be free
Break away, start again
Runaway, turnaround
It’s the hurting inside, when it comes again
Don’t know what I’ll find, I fall again
Can we try to work it out, all over again?
See the day break out in light, once again
Thunder
Black clouds from yesterday
Break down
No getaway
Thunder
Oh, way too dark to see
Forgiveness
All I want is to be free
Break away, start again
Runaway, turnaround

Do You Remember
From another life
Twisted reality
In the mirror I see
The two of us together
Where are we now
In all the stories
Woven into my memory
Like a black and white film
Oh, and I remember
How good it was
In another life
Come on and lose yourself
Pick up the flame
Find the spark inside again
Just like a dream
Twisted reality
Away from this world
Just you and me together
Oh, and I remember
How good it was
Do you remember
In another life
Flickering memory
I lost myself in it
Do you remember
The sweet surrender
Oh, and I remember
How good it was
Do you remember
In another life

Stargazing
Only you
Know how it came to be
Under the deep dark sky
Stargazing
Somehow a chance
To find the way
Somewhere in time
Is this coincidence
Imagine if we had
Never met alone
Somehow a different destiny
Unknown
Hold on to love
The heart beats on
Hold on to love
The pulse of life goes on and on and on and on
Only I
Know how you make me feel
Under your spell I find
Sensation
Somehow desire takes me
Away
Hold on to love
The heart beats on
Hold on to love
The pulse of life goes on and on and on and on

Turn To The Light
The light shines in
Through coloured glass
Into my heart
I feel the warmth within
Like a soft caress
Never break us apart
You know how it feels
When everything seems lost
Nothing left to hold on to
When the lines are crossed
Turn to the light
Take flight
Reach out
You promise me
And I will still believe
We’re gonna make it through this night
Come golden dawn, begin
Bring me promises
To break the silent hurt
You know how it feels
Like there’s no way out
A maze of indecision
Where all you feel is doubt
Turn to the light
Take flight
Reach out
You promise me
That you still believe
We’re gonna make it through this night
