My lover always meets me with a smile My lover always kind, always patient My lover like honey and milk My lover on a cold November morning But on the former Sunday I gave him in And on the former Sunday he went away All the grief that I have caused is Nothing now, compared to this All the grief that I have given him Is nothing now, compared to this And I can see him as he lies there And I can see him in his grave My lover on a bed in the evening mist Tender and pure in his last moment My lover on a bed, spreads his beautiful hair Out on the pillow - out on me

You know I gave it away You know I gave it to someone else instead But like a crack of a dawn And like an Easter-Rabbit-Song - I knew you'd be gone You said that I was the one That you could put all your grief upon But like a crack of a dawn And like an Easter-Rabbit-Song - I knew you'd be gone With the Easter-Song singing I want you, I want you to see The thing you still haven't seen in me I gave you all - all you had in me For the sake of our love And for all the times that we have shared Can I sing you this song And when all the Easter-Rabbits are gone I still have you here - at least a piece of you And so I gave it away And so I gave it to someone else instead

I shut my mouth And lift my head up high Singing my time will come Can you carry me home? I close my eyes I close everything in sight 'cause I don't want to see Be good to me Here we stand now I have it all close to me Here we go now Looking for a different angle This is me I am what you see I am wild and strong Where do I belong? I close my eyes I close everything in sight I have no dignity, all my sense laugh at me I go away

If I were to live On Balcony Boulevard My feet wouldn't touch the ground But what if I fell down? Would you see me from the top Would you see me waking up I'd never go astray But then, you'd find me anyway Would I miss my beloved moss-covered stones The woods I once called home? Would I still dream the dream of you? The ghost you see - it's only me I am no longer free If I fall, I fall alone But if I fall for you, fall for you

There was this girl That I just had to be and There was this world That I just had to see but I could not get away I could not run away no I could not get away but still She was not scared She knew wich way to go and If she just dared She would succeed and so She wanted it to be A special hide-away and She wanted it to be secret I'm happy, amused and aware Of everything waiting for me out there I'm happy, amused and aware I don't need guidance - my vision is clear And so she swam Across the raging sea and Now she is gone And all I see is myself I wanted it to be A special hide-away and I wanted it to be secret All I can do is breath in All I can do is begin And I can see that I am not alone All I can do is breath in All I can do is begin And I can see I am not the only one

She is just passing through Last year and the year before She is just passing through you She washed the day away Instead of making it alright She washed the day away - How brave You don't have to let her in Just listen and let her begin She is Cinderella in disguise Or The Mermaid in despite Of her very human feet Dancing in her Ballroom Suite You never did treat her well Oh, sure you had nice words to sell You never did treat her well - and you know it She has come here today And I don't think she's here to stay Cinderella has to go Oh, I wish it was not so As the clock soon will strike twelve We will find her as herself

If I knew you where coming I'd be home soon And if I knew you where wishing Upon the same moon I would walk out in the night To tell you it's alright Make me a stone Make me a crown Make me a child to bare through the storm Who can continue when I'm gone Make me a tree Under the sea Where I can climb and fall down And we can sleep there on the ground If I knew you where thinking - to this one I am bound And if I knew you where wishing You should be on the same ground Walk out in the night And tell me it's alright If I could see the things you see If I could be inside your head Would I only do the right things And would you still be here?

Hey beautiful Can I have you for a while? Here in my head You're the one I never thought I would find somebody like you I never thought You would come my way Lending time, passing through All the seasons - borrowing you Setting sail, finding new Distant shores - borrowing you I will go through it all If it makes you want me more Hey beautiful Can't you see me as I stand Right before you Giving my heart I touch my happiness I can't remember how it was to live before you I touch my blessedness I never thought I would find myself giving in But, if you go - I go And if you stay so will I If you go - I'll go, and you know I'll go with you

I need a place where no one has to know What I cry for - what I choose to show Of myself and how I'd like to keep The wolf inside me - finally asleep You are just a tree in my garden Well, I'm the one who is looking for a friend Way down to "Little Low" now Way down to "Little Low" I am way down to "Little Low" now Way down to "Little Low" So one day it's knocking on my door Be careful now, it's slippery - the floor I wax it now and then, it makes me feel Better all the time - let's spin the wheel Way down a different line Way down now Hey down to a different world this time Way down to a different kind of low

Where streetlamps go to die Is where we will find our love - no reason my I love you this much Nothing as such - don't ask me why If I close my eyes and start counting all the lies - I wish I'd die I'm wishing all the best - I hope you pass the test At least you could try I've never liked sleeping alone But sleeping with you is like coming home I've never liked loosing control But when I'm with you that's what's making me whole When you breath in my hair - the love we share I can't believe this fear I have inside Of not staying true to the images of you I wish that I could go - and never let me know What you have done I could live my life, and carry all my pride Believing I won I can't believe this fear I have inside Of staying true to the images of you

Can I kiss you though I'm leaving Can I show I care? Can I hold you like the first time Though you know I won't be there? I will paint my wings with beautiful things And whisper words in the night I will come around and bring what I found When I went to look for the sea Nothing withers, it just shivers in the wind Can you find it in your heart To one day forgive me? I never meant to cause you sorrow I always meant for you to see But when seasons call your name And cover all your grief You will find that you don't think of me As often as you once did
