song lyrics





It Happens



it happens when you are alone

it happens when you are away from home

it happens when you're on the street

and everything around you cease to interfere


the sound I’ve never heard before

the sun that wakes me up and burn my soul

the face I’ll never see again

the ghosts to whom I’ll ask to be my friends


It’s easy if you leave behind t

he things you learned in time

It’s easy if what you say it’s true

you won’t have to worry


it happens when you’re on a wait

it happens when you are again too late

it happens when you have no fear

it happens when your eyes are full of tears


It’s easy if you leave behind the things you burned in time

it’s easier if you say the truth cause you can’t hide

no matter if the price is high you’ll have to pay it


it happens when you are alone

it happens when you are alone…





Whirl On The River



Anka, I said, come with me out in the sun

gentle waves will carry us today

floating on a rubber boat, on this Friday afternoon

time seems slowing down when I’m with you


smiling faces while we pass by

baby ducklings following their mother in line

turn on the music, lie on this blue

worries are fading out when I’m with you


untold stories waiting outside the door

floating slowly until my illusions and my dreams will be gone


whirling down the river as the sun is sinking down

it's cold and grey and frightening beneath this lush town

turn off the music, rest in this glow

'tomorrow' it’s a lie for us


untold stories fading outside the door

unfold slowly your wings and carry me on

this daydream slowly fades leaving us silent at night

your eyes glowing while you hide





Our Wires



she crossed a wall of pain and almost lost the way

carrying little fragile things in a rainy day

she sleeps with open eyes

she knows me better than I do


she lived between two worlds perhaps because of me

dancing on insanity, laughing behind a screen

she lights a cigaret

I know her better she does

she holds the universe that I pretend to own


I left and came back home so many times

I gave my heart to strangers in a glass of wine

as you were sewing your cloth

to then destroying it in the night


while we sew our endless story time consumes our glory

rise like the morning sun to keep me warm, to make me feel secure

shine like the sweetest sun on everything I do





The Wanderer



come to the place and meet the man

with the long blond hair

he drinks until it’s dawn, until his nose turns red

come to the place where the sun never goes down

begin to understand the madness all around


he sits alone from dusk til dawn

the sea will call and he’ll respond


arriving home he wanted to dissolve and so hard he tried

but the shadow of his past was always by his side

a wanderer, a foolish man

no trace, no friend he left


he dance with eyes he finds on his path

through seven seas and seven lands

he’ll fall in love a thousand times

forever longing a loving hand





Summer Again



summer again and I didn’t prepare to go out there

an year was long dark and cold like a stone inside a hole

feel the pulse of unlived life

kill the ill to become a butterfly


summer again and I haven't replaced all my cells

I broke the shell now the black crow croaks I understand

paranoia, the high won't help

did I say it or just rumbled in my head


will a princess untangle your wires

and reveal what’s that look in your eyes

take her hand and get ready to fly


summer again and I did not repair all my friends

things I should mend if I could I would

but I’m stuck, stuck, stuck in a scheme a dream

summer again and I didn’t prepare to go out there

summer again and I didn’t prepare to go out there...


sinking, shrinking

I cut my hair and eyebrows too

singing, whirling

why is love so cruel

why is the sky so blue

I wish I had nothing to lose

in the summer there’s nothing to lose





Waiting For The Moon



waiting for the moon to come up

to bring some light in the dark

waiting for the moon to show up and shine

stars are not enough tonight


looking up the clouds seem alive

drip a rain of colours in my mind

drifting on a wave of pleasure and pain

things tonight don’t look the same


waiting for the earth to turn around

sitting still as trip just begun

pleading for the moon to allow me too see

and penetrate her mystery


waiting for the moon to come up

to bring some light in the dark

friends are gonna too far

help just can’t be found

so better surrender and let the Sun King shine





Misty Rain



misty rain afternoon

it never felt as peaceful as today

life’s around in all the sounds wearing into spirals

Feel the tide, a gentle high

breathing slowly, sensing no confine


time deceives, no empathy

years are roughly slipping on the skin

listening quiet the forest´s voice

cradled by the wind among the trees

sunset


finding home I pray this barren ground

In a loving bound


many have stopped

some have dropped

many have turned into sculptures made of sand

for every a price to pay

something has to die to be born again

sunrise


finding home I pray this barren ground

spirals...

smile free from ancient wounds...





Vivi (Part 1-3)



icy silver melting, you can get lost in her eyes

when she smiles she closes the distance between earth and sky


breath her secrets

meet her farewells


warm sea waves will gently rock her as she falls asleep

In the black womb of the forest she will find her peace


see her shifting

feel her, learn from her in hell


so I say forget it, you can’t be saved no more

faraway in the ocean all alone

something might have happened that made you decide to go on

but surely we’ll never really know

chose the card become the figure mix earth wind and fire

with a fire forged word she inverts the worlds, she stops the time


She can see deep in you

soft like a feeble dream

with broken wings you fly on to the sun

drawing with chalk your souls


feel her

breath her

she has the key
