Down by the river I long for the sea Bound by a spell Where the river runs free Falling hard for you, girl Oh no Follow you down Breaking the waves Trapped in my darkness The river haze Lost in my senses Lost in my ways Falling hard for you, girl Down, down The river runs off Into the blue Go now Go now Go now to where the river runs free... So how fantastic A daybreak can be Down by the river With your eyes on me Standing strong for you, girl Winter is gone The river is us Homeward bound ///Times are changing Changes are made I rise with the voices The voices of faith Follow and lead me Trust and believe me Let us go down Where the river runs free///

I go and gather thoughts of you like flowers in a summers field I know that you can tell I am You always know to think of me The way you make me feel I’m singing on the telephone I’m laughing in my sleep Forgetting how the real world goes Remembering important things As what you mean to me //You got a fool too lazy To face necessity I call on the moments And go sailing on that stream Common notion Taking off the pressure I choose to keep my senses high I like to keep an eye on you// Common notion Taking off the pressure I choose to keep my senses high // You are my necessity The food I eat, the air I breathe You are my ecstasy Simply extraordinary //Need to look at you I love to always keep an eye on you// //Me to look at you//

Stranger 04:41
Could this night Hold a light Could the answer stand In the glowing moon Or come the werewolves To lighten Stranger candles Could the right Conceive the wrong Or what is really Going on...? Life stands still Too cool for lies to live in Could love Fool you around And have you standing Naked with none... God forbid The perfect stranger Inside you ”L’autre fois Le presentiment Que tu m’aimes Que tu m’aimes vraiment Le siège de rêve Un cuir froid” Who else told you She would love you Is this how its meant to be Cold leather seated dreams Cool an sober Did you fake a cry Cool and sober Calling the stranger back Who else told you She would love you Is this how its meant to be Who else told you She would love you Feel the cold leather seated dreams....

I got home on a rainbow My castle at rainbows end The mind is shining mellow My soul out of the rain I got over falling Getting up once and for all Staring down The serpents Face Sent that hissing serpent home Could not stand it any more I got enough of smiling faces She there in the middle with the clowns Dancing 'round in the middle of her circus Her Musac ringing always around the town Holding my hands Rubbing on the dance floor How could one ever feel so cold //make it go away// I got over falling Getting up once and for all Clearing out the The Serpents Face None of that no more No serpents round my door Stare down he Serpents Face None of that no more No serpents round my door.

Memento 06:54
Remember days when love was you The innocence of life’s prelude Feel like you’re standing by my side It comforts me in troubled times Cuddled up beside the one Who’s looking to me now She’s so descended To look in those eyes Makes me smile Think back on days when love was You Before the falling into shrewd I still can feel your hand in mine It comforts me in troubled times I wish you safe across from here To that distant hemisphere A coming home to fields of green A wakening across that sea A wakening across that sea Sometimes it feels as if you’re here Reaching out to keep me safe A coming home to fields of green A wakening across that sea Across that sea Across that sea I look to You I think of You Wakening across that sea Wakening across that sea Across that sea.....

Rain 04:07
Soon over, over , over Come what may Keep me to life’s Right side of the lane I know where you went Don’t go there again It shouldn’t be this life To take you away Wind wiper The heavy rain You feel as tears Going crazy in your mind Go or stay Whatever; be the same 'cause your eyes are loosing me... Drain all the memories In heavy rain Tears for a wind wiper To wash away Drain all the memories In heavy rain 'cause your eyes are loosing me.. Whatever; be the same Let life be to blame The road is just leading To places unreal And your eyes are loosing me....

Shine My Way 06:27
In a dream Out to sea Lighthouse bound For you Fair the wind Blew that night love, love , blowing. ”Have faith Fear not the haze Though sad The siren’s calling 'Cause your mind Know by heart The inner map” How it be Without you... Sometimes fear Wake me up Rolling falling Into a great void Miles in the distance Your offshore coast You made me overcome my fright You gave me hope For this longest ride Giving life meaning I felt Light Shine my way I will stay... Light Shine my way I will stay And morning came Well out of blue With love beyond Dream and awake Shine my way Shine your light This love Let it be I longed for you In my mind Here at last Come what may Oh, what a place to be safe... Beside you... I will stay

Drifting 03:16
Take a chance While wonders are long gone I can go To imagine Got no hand To hold or non to lead I can live it Or spend it Could love save us And the long life Be ours I may only just consuming What was right I didn’t know my failures Or my wishes I once was ... At this bend Take me away From this world Oh, love The hate The sin Cruel visions Love can place you in

Go with me baby To high five and trust Stay for a lover Who loves you till dust I roll you like Keaton I treat you with style I step in the stadium In the bulls eye... Go with my money... I do owe her this She’s buying reincarnations Me’s the one that she wants Oh, what I’m telling you It’s all in my head As if you care for anything I ever say.....- Go with me baby To high five and trust Stay for a lover Who loves you till dust Stay for a lover ///Who loves you till dust///
