When your rivers no longer flow when your roses stop to grow 'cause your lover wants to go there’s one thing you ought a know You’re not the first, you’re not the last to feel such pain Bury the past, wind’s changing fast come try again When your ways so hard to find when all roads have dead-end signs 'cause your love has made you blind keep one thing on your mind You’re not the first, you’re not the last to feel such pain Bury the past, wind’s changing fast come try again Darkness can blacken your mind (you know) I once felt the same Sweet dreams ain’t easy to find come try again When your planes no longer fly when your dreams don’t reach the sky 'cause your love has passed you by ain’t it worth another try You’re not the first, you’re not the last to feel such pain Bury the past, wind’s changing fast come try again Sadness can blacken your mind (you know) I once felt the same Sweet dreams ain’t easy to find come try again When your rivers no longer flow when your roses stop to grow 'cause your lover wants to go there’s one thing you ought a know You’re not the first, you’re not the last to feel such pain Bury the past, wind’s changing fast come try again When your rivers no longer flow when your roses stop to grow

Coming Home 05:33
The trees are flying by and I’m driving on a long and lonesome road. The daylight fades away but there’s still two hundred miles to go. I’ve been too long away now, I’ve been too long alone … so far from home. There were so many jobs to do, in the east, in the north or in the west. I was thinking about you, whenever I got some time to rest. And I'm on my way now, I leave the past alone … I’m going home. Look out of your window, Listen for the sound of my car wheels. This is where my dreams go, This is where I’m bound and what I feel … I’m coming home. The last daylight is gone but there’s still a hundred miles to go. With the rising of the moon and Neil Young singing on the radio. And a town in North Ontario Where he belongs … it’s a place called home. There’s an Ontario for me and I’ll be there before the morning comes. She is waiting there for me with a smile like the morning sun. I’ve been too long away now, I’ve been too long alone … I’m going home. Look out of your window, Listen for the sound of my car wheels. This is where my dreams go, This is where I’m bound and what I feel … I’m coming home. I got my own Ontario Where I belong … I’m going home.

Sitting in the evening sun watching silent shadows run, Thinking ‘bout the times to come and go. So many roads I walked along so many songs that I have sung, Many friends have come and gone, you know. Some burning bridges I have crossed some foolish games that I have lost, And some hidden ghost to overcome. The magical moment you came in a second chance, a lifetime dream, All the places we have seen and won. But sometimes there’s a shadow on my mind Shadows are so hard to leave behind Thinking ‘bout the dreams coming true … skies turn blue. Sometimes there are shadows on your mind … We dreamed of castles in the air now we are just living there, Life is an amazing fair, that’s true. Sitting in the evening sun watching silent shadows run, Thinking ‘bout the times to come with you. Sometimes there’s a shadow on my mind … Sometimes there’s a shadow on your mind …

Aquablue 03:48
Where the waves roll in forever where the rivers meet the tide, Where the skies can change to heaven where the winds can change your mind. There’s a house near by the seashore where the lights turn aquablue And whenever we can take no more there’s a place for me and you Walking on the beach to look for seashells climbing the cliff for an endless sight. Listen to the stories that the seagulls tell on their long and restless flight. There’s a house near by the coastline where all lights turn aquablue And whenever we need some borrowed time there’s a place for me and you Sitting in the sand to watch the sundown walking hand in hand through the pouring rain. Thinking 'bout the time we lost our way and the way we found the key again. There are houses by the northern sea where the world turns aquablue And whenever we have lost the key there’s a place for me and you Where the waves roll in forever where the rivers meet the tide

I Believe 04:03
I believe in strong rivers, Whatever I asked them they never told me lies. And I believe in high mountains, From their top I saw the world with different eyes But I don’t believe in no ghost to guide me the whole day through. But I believe in brown eyes And most of all I believe in you I believe in cornflowers, No need to tell them when it’s time to grow. And I believe in the old trees, Never complaining when it’s time to go But I don’t believe in no ghosts to tell them what to do. But I believe in a true smile And most of all I believe in you I believe in the morning sunrise, Forty-nine years it happened every day. And I I’m sure that there’s a fair price, Most of us someday have to pay But I don’t believe in no ghost to guide us the whole life through. But I believe in angels And most of all I believe in you But I don’t need no ghost to tell me what to do But I believe in angels and most of all I believe in you

Raindrops on the window – it’s pouring outside, Guitar case on the pillow – a shimmering light, Some books on the table – almost unread, Walls without windows – an old iron bed. And there she comes, a smile on her face, Changing the room into a magical place And I don’t care ‘bout the world outside, A place of our own and our own Tuscan night. Sky full of rain clouds – leaves turning brown, A slippery footpath – no way to be found, Follow green rivers – to a castle of grey, Tasting an old wine – at the end of the way. And there she is, a smile on her face, Changing the room into a magical place And I don’t care ‘bout the world outside, A place of our own and our own Tuscan night. Sitting on the veranda – with the sun going down, A church bell is ringing – a sentimental sound. And there she comes with a smile on her face, Changing the room into a magical place, And I don’t care ‘bout the world outside, It’s a place of our own and our own Tuscan night.

Losing and lost in a shadow land Forgotten where the sun is almost gone You’re waiting for somebody to take your hand You’re so alone When you’re talking about the faces you left behind When you’re talking about the places you have been There is always a bitterness deep in your mind You never win There is a chance to win the losing-game Life is rolling on and on There is so much time to catch the train Before it’s gone, but don’t remain … in your losing-game Losing and lost in the pouring rain Forgotten where dreams are almost gone You’re looking for somebody to share your pain So far from home Darkness is covering the brightest day And smiling seems to be a sin You were born to lose so you say You never win Take the chance to win the losing-game … When you’re talking about the faces you left behind When you’re talking about the places you have been There is always a bitterness deep in your mind You never win Take the chance to win the losing-game … Life is rolling on and on. You got so much time to catch the train Before it’s gone, but don’t remain … in your losing-game.

It’s a cold and clear December morning A red sun is rising in the east From the lake the wild geese are calling And a freight train is rolling to the west Just another open hearted Sunday There where the broken hearts can mend It’s a place to rest from the lifetime runway Our hearts are lost … to a silent piece of land On the chestnut tree the buzzard sits awaiting He’s looking ‘round a kingdom of his own Near the pond a red flag is waving Symbolizing we have found our home Just another open hearted Sunday There where the broken hearts can mend It’s a place to rest from the lifetime runway Our hearts are lost … to a silent piece of land We can feel the wind upon our faces We can see the stars in the winter sky This is one of those mystical places You can find some answers if you try Now the last light of a winter’s day is fading Disappearing right behind these hills But it’s still a warm December’s evening And in our house the lights are shining still Just another open hearted Sunday There where the broken hearts can mend It’s a place to rest from the lifetime runway Our hearts are lost … to a silent piece of land It’s a place to rest from the lifetime runway May be the best … a silent piece of land

Sitting on the sofa in the evening So many songs upon my mind Songs about arriving and `bout leaving And I feel it’s just the time. Come and feel the magic in this room Now that there’s nothing left to do Come, we take the shadows from the moon ´cause I’m here to sing for you … yes, I’m here to sing for you. Oh my love is stronger than the wind blows And my love lasts longer than the rain And whenever a lonely teardrop flows Listen to that song again. Come and feel the magic in this room Now that there’s nothing left to do Come, we take the shadows from the moon ´cause I’m here to sing for you … yes, I’m here to sing for you. Standing on the stage in that old chapel Blinding lights leave nothing but a clue Singing ´bout the loving and the losing But most of all I sing for you. Come and feel the magic in this room Now that there’s nothing left to do Come, we take the shadows from the moon ´cause I’m here to sing for you … yes, I’m here to sing for you.

Canadream 04:14
Here’s to you Toronto town, Where the scrapers touch the sky. When the plane was touching down, I saw that sparkle in your eyes. Amazing places that I never would have seen. Friendly faces I would have missed … Canadream. Here’s to you Algonquin Park, Where the moose just cross the highway. The moon was rising in the dark, As we found our place to stay. Amazing places that I never would have seen. Friendly faces I would have missed … Canadream. From Halifax to Peggy’s Cove, Where the winds are blowing strong. A light that I’m still dreaming of And a stormy birthday song. Quebec City here’s to you, You French fortress in the snow. So many songs to listen to, So many stairway steps to go. Amazing places that I never would have seen. Friendly faces I would have missed … Canadream. Here’s to you Toronto town Where the plane was touching down

Some days I feel I get older And there are days I’m a little bit tired. And the weight of the past on my shoulders, Grey shadows that last in the light. And the nights get a little bit longer, When you’re waiting for sleep to come. And the winds blow a little bit stronger, When the summer seems to be gone. But I’m still running for rainbows And I still got love in my mind. There’s so much light in the shadows With you by my side … with you by my side. And sometimes I feel like a young man With a confidence that never asks why. And a power that keeps me running And the limit is only the sky. And the nights get a little bit brighter With someone to warm up your heart. And the valleys grow a little bit wider, When you’re not alone in the dark. And I’m still running for rainbows And I still got love in my mind. There’s so much light in the shadows With you by my side … with you by my side.

Bittersweet 04:29
Little Bittersweet has sadness in her mind Hey don’t you know your time has come to shine The winter’s gone and spring is in the air And you’re not alone there’s so much life to share love to find Hey Bittersweet your time has come to shine Little Bittersweet has teardrops in her eyes Hey don’t you know your time has come to fly The skies are blue, take a look outside Summer waits for you to take you for a ride - go and try Hey Bittersweet spread your wings and fly Little Bittersweet she looks so sad at me Hey don’t you know how beautiful you can be The night is warm stars are falling from the sky And a girl like you should never pass them by - go and see Hey Bittersweet be as beautiful as you can be. Now Bittersweet has rainbows in her eyes … Now Bittersweet has rainbows in her eyes …

There’s a shadow on the moon my love no stars are in the sky, Wind blows a lonesome tune my love dark clouds are passing by, But the sun is almost rising And we will still be there There’s a shadow on the moon my love but there’s somebody who cares. There’s a cloud upon your face my love and a tear is in your eye, ‘cause life has left its trace my love it’s a never ending try, But another day is dawning And we will still be there There are clouds upon your face my love but there’s somebody who cares. Someone who cares, someone who cares, Someone who cares, someone who cares. There is silence in the room my love when there’s nothing left to say, But the winds are changing soon my love and the clouds will go away And the sun is almost rising And we will still be there There’s a shadow on the moon my love and there’s somebody who cares. Someone who cares, someone who cares, Someone who cares, someone who cares.

May Be 03:05
May be that nothing’s ever gonna change, May be that nothing stays the same And may be that life’s not really worth the pain And may be life is just a game. May be the answer’s blowing in the wind, May be cold winds are gonna blow, May be I will never feel so good again But all the answers I don’t need to know. And may be that love’s a diamond in your hands And may be all diamonds turn to dust And may be you should never run against the wind And may be if you don’t run you rust. May be the answer’s blowing in the wind, May be cold winds are gonna blow, May be I will never feel so good again But all the answers I don’t need to know. ‘cause I know you are lying by my side And in the morning you will still be there. I don’t know if all mornings will be dark or bright But I know there’s somebody who cares. May be the answer’s blowing in the wind, May be cold winds are gonna blow, May be I will never feel so good again But all the answers I don’t need to know.

about

"Dreams and Shadows" is the first official Shiregreen CD and contains 14 songs, all penned by Klaus Adamaschek. Shiregreen was supported by outstanding musicians such as Felix Gerlach from the well-known metal band "Dimless", who contributed some sparkling guitar solos, or Alexandra Renner-Quanz from the folk group "Seasons", who u. little musical surprises with accordion, violin, flute and glockenspiel.

The result is a versatile and atmospherically dense songwriter CD that represents a significant musical "quantum leap" compared to the first album. Each of the 14 songs tells its own story: For example, the haunting and almost whispered "Coming Home", a song about a night drive home on the Autobahn, with a driving and infectious rhythm. Or "Running for Rainbows", which tells of getting older with a wink and its gentle melody is reminiscent of Leonard Cohen's early pieces. Or the relaxed and flattering "Piece of Land", a kind of folk anthem to one's own piece of land in the Fulda Valley.

The demanding production is rounded off by an elaborately designed booklet. The deliberately simple digipack contains a 20-page booklet with pictures from the studio sessions and a separate page for each song, with lyrics and suitable photos that further tell the story of the song.
