Peaceful Shades
04:13

Sometimes when I’m down I need a moment of retirement
Sometimes when I’m beaten I need a moment of escape
a place of my own need an inner island
mmmh peaceful shades
mmmh peaceful shades
On days like these I light up candle in the dark
on days like these I listen to songs from the heart
Sometimes when you’re hopeless and it all seems so complicated
Sometimes you’re disheartened ‘bout the troubles that await
Find yourself a silent place where you can’t be located
mmmh peaceful shades
mmmh peaceful shades
On days like these light up a candle in the dark
on days like these listen to songs from the heart
Sometimes I’m feeling blue and I don’t know what’s the reason
Bustling and uneasy ‘til the daylight fades
and finally it is you to end this restless season
mmmh peaceful shades
mmmh peaceful shades

Northern Light
03:42
|
|||
|
On the road again, riding like the wind
On a coastal highway northward bound
Trying to leave behind all these troubled time
On northern light and northern sound
Wish I could be riding on forever with my brown eyed angel by my side
Wish we could be driving on forever in the calmness of the northern light
Weightless time, weightless time
It’s pretty cold out there, the first frost of the year
Has left some white shades on the ground
As far as we can see these forests in dark green
Turning into yellow, red and brown
Wish I could be riding on forever
with my brown eyed angel by my side
Wish we could be driving on forever
in the calmness of the northern light
Weightless time, weightless time
The sun is pretty low, long shadows on the road
As we crossed the bridge to a hundred island land
And we watched the sun go down in a little harbour town
And then we get back on the road again
Wish I could be riding on forever
with my brown eyed angel by my side
Wish we could be driving on forever
in the calmness of the northern light
Weightless time, weightless time

Rainbows
04:53

Well, I’ve had some sunshine and I faced some rain
was running against windstorms sometimes ended in pain
but I followed the rainbow though I knew that it’s not true
and any way the wind blows it led me to you.
Mmh mmh mmh
One foot on the gas pedal, one foot on the brake
A part of me dreaming, a part of me wide awake
and I followed the rainbow, though I knew that it’s not true
and any way the road goes, all routes led to you
Mmh mmh mmh
Oh, the wind might keep you from the right way
And the sun might be totally blinding you
and the rain it might overflow your alleyway
but the rainbow makes a dream come true
yes, rainbows make dreams come true
Oh, the wind might keep you from the right way
And the sun might be totally blinding you
and the rain it might overflow your alleyway
but the rainbow makes a dream come true
yes, rainbows make dreams come true
Well, I’ve had some sunshine and I faced some rain
Was running against windstorms sometimes struggled in vain
and I followed the rainbow though I knew the story’s not true
and where ever the road goes all routes led to you
yes I followed a rainbow though I knew the story’s not true
and I’ve found no pot of gold but at last I found you
at last I found you

Island Time
03:42
|
|||
|
The sun is warm, the sky’s so blue
waves are rolling against the shore
On the coastal path I follow you
‘cause you know what I’m looking for
We had to take some island time
‘cause I could take no more
Walking on a stony ground
down the canyon by the sea
Sheep were grazing all around
in their own way living free
Among these rocks and animals
I guess the biggest fool was me
‘Cause it’s a perfect place for you and me
but I got worries on my mind
But underneath a cypress tree
there’s nothing to loose but some time
The next day was a rainy day
but it helped to clear my mind
Thinking ‘bout the price you pay
when you can’t leave the past behind
But finally I saw the way
in the mirror of your eyes
A perfect time for you and me
but I got worries on my mind
In the face of an old olive tree
there’s simple truth for me to find
The sun is warm, the skies are blue
waves are rolling ‘gainst the shore
On the coastal path I follow you
‘cause you know what I’m looking for
We had to take some island time
‘cause I could take no more
You ‘ve given me some island time
I love you forever and some more

Wings Of Love
03:53
|
|||
|
There’s a blackbird in our garden
right beneath our pond
I wonder if it’s thinking ‘bout going south
Is it worried ‘bout the travelling
looking forward to the sun
Or maybe it’s just thinking ‘bout staying at home
Fly with me on the wings of love
Fly with me on the wings of love
There’s some dead weight to be dropped of
Some new plants to be sown
fly with me to a place called home, a place called home
A few moments later
the blackbird it is gone
For a moment or forever no one knows
And a dragon fly’s still circling
above our garden pond
And maybe that’s the way the story goes
Fly with me on the wings of love
Fly with me on the wings of love
There’s some dead weight to be dropped of
Some new plants to be sown
Fly with me to a place called home
There’s a blackbird in our garden
right beneath our pond
I wonder if it’s thinking ‘bout going home

Queen Of Hearts
04:16
|
|||
|
I’ve always been the silent one
never really talked too long
Waiting for the queen of hearts
I’ve always been an anxious one
waiting for a change to come
Waiting for the queen of hearts
Starring out of the window
wondering which way to go
Waiting for the queen of hearts
Some times were bad, some times were good
I never really understood
I was looking for the queen of hearts
Hiding behind silent walls
working hard ‘til evening falls
Waiting for the queen of hearts
And I spent some time down by the sea
trying to find another me
Waiting for the queen of hearts
Got afraid of getting old
got afraid my fortune’s told
Waiting for the queen of hearts
Some times were bad, some times were good
I never really understood
I was looking for the queen of hearts
Always one step behind my dreams
a disillusioned fool it seemed
Waiting for the queen of hearts
A road singer on an empty street
a jack of hearts with no heart beat
Waiting for the queen of hearts
But somewhere on the open road between
here and Lake Ontario
There he found the queen of hearts
Some times were bad, some times were good
finally I understood
I was always looking for the queen of hearts

Once as I was walking
through the grasslands all alone
Trying to get some distance
to the cities I called home
Mostly it was raining
rained as hard as it could be
And I looked for shelter
under an old alder tree, an old alder tree
Winds are getting stronger
bending all the trees
The old tree’s no longer
a shelter for me
Big old bench is breaking
right above there where I stand
Crashing on my shoulder
old trees are hard to bend, old trees hardly bend
Then I was young man
dreams upon on my mind
And I didn’t care then
bout any rules that bind
Yes I was impatient
and I did not understand
What we should remembe
old trees are hard to bend, old trees hardly bend
Now I’m getting older
planting trees around my home
It’s time to consider
I’m an old tree on my own
So my love don’t blame me
when I don’t understand
Try to remember
old trees are hard to bend, old trees hardly bend
Yes, you are my lover
and you give me all I need
I don’t need no other
to share this life with me
If I ever blame you
when you don’t understand
I will try to remember
old trees are hard to bend
old trees hardly bend
If I ever blame you
when I don’t understand
I surely will remember
old trees are hard to bend, old trees hardly bend

Nightmares And Daydreams
02:58
|
|||
|
Woke up from a nightmare
in the middle of the night
Dreamed I was alone out there
without you by my side
And the brightest colours turned
into shades of grey
And your guiding loving hand
is a million miles away
But then I opened up my eyes
saw you right here by my side
And I kept you in my arms
‘til the morning light
Fell into a daydream
on a long car ride
On an empty highway
without you by my side
And I dreamed that I had lost my way
in a cold and shuttered town
Nothing that I could hear or say
not a single sound
But then I saw you standing there
on our own home drive
And I let you go no more
‘til the morning light
Nightmares and daydreams
is not what life is for
Nightmares and daydreams
don’t open any door
And when the brightest colours turn
into shades of grey
And a guiding loving hand
is a million miles away
Come and open up your eyes
there’s someone by your side
Go and keep her in your arms
‘til the morning light

Where My Love Goes
04:38
|
|||
|
Starring out of the window
a cold rain’s falling without end
Twilight leaves no shadows
falling leaves dancing in the wind
Some black crows are squabbling at our fire place
They don’t care about the dark
No I really don’t like rainy days
but it’s not raining in my heart.
Mmmh where my love goes, I will go
Mmmh where my love goes, I will go
Mmmh where our life goes, no one knows
But mmmh where my heart goes, I will go, I will go
Dark clouds upon our valley
all the colours turn to grey
Black puddles on our alley way
and the last light fades away
The black crows are heading
for their sleeping place
Like ghosts they vanish in the dark
No I really don’t like rainy days
but it’s not raining my heart.
Mmmh where my love goes, I will go
Mmmh where my love goes, I will go
Mmmh where our life goes, no one knows
But mmmh where my heart goes, I will go, I will go

The Angel I Love
02:31
|
|||
|
Who’s the one who never gets enough
Stealing a kiss whenever she wants it
Lending a hand whenever I need it
No one’s as close as the angel I love
Who’s the one that I can’t get enough of
Keeping me warm when the night’s getting cold
Smiling a smile that I wanna grow old with
No one’s as close as the angel I love
Who’s the one who treasures my love
Guiding my ways with beautiful patience
Fighting for me with the heart of a lion
No one’s as close as the angel I love

Last Train
02:57
|
|||
|
I was sitting at the station
Waiting for a one-way train to come
Looking at the schedule
And it told me the last train is already gone
A cold November’s evening but I kept on waiting there
For the first train in the morning to take me anywhere
The summer it was over, a cool breeze in the air
A long cold winter was knocking on my door
I was hoping for the last train to take me anywhere
Hope is what this life is for
And love may be waiting behind the door
A lot of winter ‘s gone now
Got a house, got a home and I got you
Some days in quiet hours
I’m thinking bout what I’ve done and what to do
And then I’m remembering the cold and drafty track
And the last train leaving and never coming back
The summer it was over, a cool breeze in the air
A long cold winter was knocking on my door
I was hoping for the last train to take me anywhere
Hope is what this life is for
And love was waiting behind the door

Wake Up
03:46
|

|
Wake up, my good old friend, wake up
Finally the time has come to restart
Daylight breaks, the night is gone
but keep some stars in your eyes
It’s time for a wake-up song
and look out at the sunny skies and arise
Wake up, my good old friend, wake up
Sailing close to the wind and restart
There are endless tracks to walk along
a river you can swim across
A hungry soul won’t loose his song
a rolling stone won’t gather moss that’s the cause
To wake up, my good old friend, wake up, wake up
You have seen so many places
but you never really did arrive
But who’s the one who holds the aces
in a new game of your life
And you still hear the warning
all these voices from out of the dark
But it’s just a new day dawning
and now it’s time to follow your heart
Mmmh, follow your heart, mmmh, follow your heart
Wake up, my good old friend, wake up
Try to be yourself again and restart
Save some memories of the past
but don’t loose yourself in looking back
Live your dream and make it last
and cut the chains that hold you back from what you lack
And wake up, my good old friend, wake up, wake up
You have seen so many places
but you never really did arrive
But you’re the one who holds the aces
in this new game of a your life
And you still hear the warning
all these voices from the dark
But it’s just a new day dawning
and now it’s time to follow your heart
Mmmh, follow your heart, mmmh, follow your heart
Wake up, my good old friend, wake up
finally the time has come to restart
Daylight breaks, the night is gone
but keep some stars in your eyes
It’s time for a wake-up song
and look out at the sunny skies and arise

Standing By The River
04:52
|
|||
|
Standing by the river, running closely to our home
Reflections on the water, for a moment all alone
Listening to the river, in the shade of old willow trees
River keep on running, it’s a long way to the sea.
Standing by the river, within a stone’s throw of our door
It’s creeping through our valley for a million years or more
Talking to the river about my plans, about my dreams
I guess we are companions, we are heading for the sea.
The river knows the ending of the story ‘bout you and me
Maybe it’s a friend and in the end we’ll reach the sea.
Standing by the river, not so far from the railway line
On the street the cars are rushing by but the river doesn’t mind
Talking to the river, about him and about me
Guess we are companions, we are bound to meet the sea.
The river knows the ending of the story ‘bout you and me
Maybe it’s a friend and in the end we’ll reach the sea.
Standing by the river, running closely to our home
Reflections on the water, for a moment all alone
Listening to the river in the shade of old willow trees
River keep on running, it’s a long way to the sea.
The river knows the ending of the story ‘bout you and me
Maybe it’s a friend and in the end we’ll reach the sea.

You're The One
03:59

|
Take me in your arms, my love
The world has done me harm
The light outside seems cold, my love
The light inside is warm
Out there’s someone who treated me wrong
In here’s the one to soothe my pain
Hold me close all night long
and tomorrow ‘I’ll be strong again
Sometimes it seems you’re running on a dream
And someone has shut it away
And sometimes it seems even someone like me
Has to hide from the light of the day
Out there’s someone who treated me wrong
In here’s the one to soothe my pain
Hold me close all night long
and tomorrow ‘I’ll be strong again
Your love is like a guiding light
It brightens the darkest day
A secret shield on life’s battle field
Keeps my on my way
Out there’s someone who treated me wrong
In here’s the one to soothe my pain
Hold me close all night long
and tomorrow ‘I’ll be strong again
Out there’s someone who treated me wrong
But you are the one to soothe my pain
Hold me close all night long
and tomorrow ‘I’ll be strong again.
