Lyrics

I Miss You

I miss you, but we’d never say these things
She held your hand and that’s why I love her
even more now
You could be so angry sometimes
when we didn’t understand each other

I miss you, but we’d never say those things
You always wanted me to be near
and I moved further away
but my heart moved closer
You could be so happy sometimes
when we let go of these worries

I miss you and I know you missed me too

You had seen so many changes
There was little time to learn from it
You were such a strong and loyal wife
and you were always moving
Pain, sorrow, joy and little things that meant a lot
you saw it all, you knew it all, you saw it all, you knew it all

I miss you, but we’d never say these things
I love you, but we’d never say those things

The Story

This is the story of life’s 3000 realities
unfolding in you
This is the story of me and the universe I am
This is the story of you, whose numerous truths I fail to grasp
This is the story of life’s profound truth
which can only be one
inherent in every right question
This is where none of us is right or wrong

Obsessed

I am obsessed, I am obsessed
No but, no maybe
I am obsessed, and I know it

We drift along
and cry alone in out bedrooms where no one can hear
We drag along
and fight alone in our solitary madness

I am obsessed
It is best to admit
No even though
I’m proud to be me

Each moment is really a mystery
And who knows what is left when we go

It is best to admit right away

It is clearly me
Obsessed

Where do you think you will be? (Hafez)

I am sitting on a mountain,
I am casting shadows into the sky

I did not invite it, but the sun has come
And is now playing tag with my feet

I am whispering to clouds today,
“Watch out for my shoulders”

For I wish no harm
To all my soft friends

Where do you think you will Be
When god reveals himself
Inside of you?

I was so glad to hear
That every pillow in this world
Will become stuffed with
My soul and beard

I am sitting on a mountain range
I am a precious body of living water
Offered to the earth
From light’s own hands

Why ever talk of miracles
When you are destined to become
Infinite love

Still, the final grace was left:
For all of existence and Hafez to blend
And to find that I am every pillow
Offering comfort

To each mind and
Foot

Unison

He never asks for much
He smiles gently
He holds his lover’s heart
in his caring hands

And carries it across the abyss

And as the crown rises
And as the eyes seek reply

The heart pulses in unison
with nature’s ageless law

Unavailability

You have been on my mind
With your strange unavailability

You have tricked me into thinking

“You must be somehow better than me“
Just because of your unavailability

You have been on my mind

Your Kindness

Your face, your smile
Your words, your mind
Your kindness
Move me

One Day

There is hope in the eyes of a stranger
There is love in the sound of water falling in New York City public places

There is strength underneath your deepest fear
There is joy where you least expect it

There is just an idea of meaning in your heart
But one day, one day
There will be understanding

Solitude (Rainer Maria Rilke)

Solitude is like a rain.
It rises from the sea toward evening;
from plains, which are distant and remote,
it goes to the sky, which always has it.
And only then it falls from the sky on the city.
It rains down in the in-between hours,
when all the crooked streets turn toward morning,
and when the bodies, which found nothing,
leave each other feeling sad and disappointed;
and when the people, who hate each other,
have to sleep together in one bed:

then solitude flows with the rivers . . .

New Orleans

Will you wake me up with a smile like this over and over again?
I hate to be so directly, bluntly happy
It makes me feel there’s something wrong
But then again, it feels so good

I am waiting for my laundry in the sun and I have lost you (Laundry Song)

It seems like I’m getting stranger every day
How easily the pleasant illusion of a clear view
Turns into nothing
Nothing but clouds of fog

I guess I shouldn’t care so much
I guess I shouldn’t think so much
Well, that’s what I’ve been trying
But I’m getting sick of trying

It was just so nice, just too nice to let go

I’ve been running into this like a child
Like a little girl
I have given up my strength
And chose to be weak
Only for the illusion of you

I am just a little girl
Making up my own world
‘Till you refuse to play your role
I should have known this would happen

I am just a little girl
Making up my own world
‘Till you refuse to play your role
And leave me here
Leave me here in cold reality

It was just so nice, just too nice to let go

You & I

You and I have always tried to laugh off every sign of things breaking
I loved you more than I knew I could love

You and I, we were happy
To be in this world
But I had to keep going

Water is still, and the wind has stopped blowing
It’s sunny, and I know it comes from within
I know it comes from within

I am sorry for many things I’ve done and said
But I know, we care
Always, always

You and I have always tried to laugh off every sign of things breaking
I loved you more than I knew I could love

You Will Remember (Pablo Neruda)

You will remember that leaping stream
where sweet aromas rose and trembled
and sometimes a bird, wearing water
and slowness, its winter feathers

You will remember those gifts from the earth
indelible scents, gold clay
weeds in the thicket and crazy roots
magical thorns like swords

You will remember the bouquet you picked
shadows and silent water
bouquet like a foam-covered stone

That time was like never, and like always

So we go there, where nothing is waiting
find everything waiting there

Half Full

This glass is half full

The more I drink, the more it fills
This glass is half full
I never get enough
And never too much
You don’t have to love me
And I don’t need to know left from right
This glass is half full
And I drink

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deeper

Every song has a you, and every you has a face
We go thousands of years back, and I still know yours
Life has led me across your path, and yours, and yours,
And we will find something better every time we look deeper

And I feel things make sense in every struggle

I feel things make sense

I am all by myself and I am happy to be
I am fighting and letting go and facing what has been in front of my eyes
for years and years
But it is so hard to see what’s most important

But I feel things make sense in every struggle
I feel things make sense

Eyes are open

Mind is open
Heart is open
Life is open

Every moment is precious

All my fear and doubt
And all the answers could never be born without questions
I have chosen to fill my days with meaning
So I keep climbing …

Indestructible Fort

You never get me down
Except when I get you down
You never seem to do anything to me
Except when I hurt you
It’s funny how we want things
Just because we don’t have them
Like children in a grocery store
No matter how smart we are

All we do is try to paint the perfect picture of ourselves

We just want the best looking colors to show what we’re worth

I can make you feel bad about yourself

And I do
See, that is not who I want to be
But it’s a constant struggle
It seems like we’ve all gotten used to
Be suspicious and always ready to
Strike back and run away
Or just quit first

All we do is try to build an indestructible fort

Where we can hide and be ourselves and feel safe

Happy Song

My Baby says ‘It’s summertime and I love you’
My Baby says ‘You’re beautiful and clever’
He thinks that I am talented
So I’m a lucky, lucky person

My Baby says ‘Your life, it is a present, so you should appreciate and enjoy it.
And don’t you worry ‘bout a thing now, ‘cause you’re a lucky, lucky person.’

When happiness knocks on your door, you should let it in,

‘cause you never know what comes later
When happiness knocks on your door, you better let it in
Take its hand and dance

You can’t always get what you want, now that’s clear
Especially when you want everything
But happiness is nothing you get
You are as happy as you choose to be

So I say ‘Baby, you are so right. Let’s face the day with a real smile.’
‘Cause we can’t change the world by being worried all the time
You are as happy as you choose to be

When happiness knocks on your door, you should let it in,

‘cause you never know what comes later
When happiness knocks on your door, you better let it in
Take its hand and dance

Let it in and enjoy
Let it in

When You’re In Love

When you’re in love and you don’t know how you’ll ever find
out of this love that you don’t want, ‘cause it only breaks you down
And all the little pieces that are left of you lie scattered all around, in a mist

But you’re in love, and you don’t know how you’ll get this face out of your head,
but you know that you are only dreaming
And all the situations you have memorized mean nothing, ‘cause you’re only
dreaming

When you’re in love there is nothing that will set you free,
‘cause in your heart there is something that you need to understand
And every time you’re trying to shut down that feeling, it bounces back
and hits you even harder

Until you see that there’s nothing that can break your heart as long as
you trust that you’ll always learn and find what’s right in time
But all the little moments that you analyze, they try to mess with all your
senses

When you’re in love and you don’t know how you’ll make him see
that you are everything he needs

All these feelings in your head and your heart that you hold on to, you
hold on to

When you’re in love and you don’t know how you’ll make him see
that you are everything he needs

Fear

I see we have a common friend
It is strong, it is brave
Its presence can neither be described nor denied

You try to shake it off with your brain
You try hard, you fight
Its power lies deeper
That’s where we need to go
But that’s something I know
But you don’t

Fear will mess with the very essence of your understanding

I Remember

I remember your eyes
I remember your hand too
Your hand in mine

Surrounded by middle-class, tasteless
Terraced houses

Illuminated
By street lamps
The old-fashioned ones that are ours
Maybe

Or maybe by something that’s deeper
Or maybe by something that’s deeper

I remember you being close to me
I remember wondering why

You might still not care
That I care
Or anyone at all
But you will

And I will look for you<
I’ll remember you
I’ll remember you
Next lifetime

Blown Away

Please squeeze me right now
Make me wake up
‘Cause I am being blown away

No thoughts, no fear
In my way
To save me

Missing You

Missing you is missing in its primal form
Missing you is falling endlessly
Missing you lacks any shade of romance

Missing you, missing you

Missing you is devouring my confidence

Missing you is feeding, feeding weakness
But I cannot allow myself to be weak

You make me feel
Terribly, unbearably weak

Missing you, missing you

Learn My Tongue

I wanted you to learn my tongue
I wanted you to understand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kleine Einsicht

All I want to say is truth is inside you

When I need a smile I know I can find it in your eyes
And your breath even more
‘Cause I trust my ears

All you gotta do is open your ears
And all you’re gonna feel is truth, so accept it

You can only win if you see there’s nobody to beat
So let your fears go
And get a bit of peace

Blue Birds

Blue birds fly when the sun is gone
You can still hear them sing with the first sun rays
If you come really close, listen well
You will hear that their singing is crying

So the blue birds cry in the still of the night,
’cause the one thing they’re longing to see
is the warm, warm sun

But the only way for them to face the day
Is to change their color

It’s never easy to change what you know
And it hurts, ’cause it makes you so pure

But life is about decisions
So do what you have to do
You’ll forget the pain

Hidden Dragon

Hidden dragon, grumbling tiger
You’ve come back here
To dance with me
Don’t you even want to ask me if I want you?
But it doesn’t really matter
You’ve already won

I still know what it feels like when we become one
With you I’d climb the highest mountain
But you’ve become too strong, my friend
It seems I can’t handle you lately
Can we make it up again?

‘Cause I miss you like the warm, warm sun
I miss the strength you gave me
I miss you like an addict …

November

The sun is a blinding ghost
‘Cause the night decided to stay
Flowers are living underground
My heart’s standing still
And time is gone

I know it’s a useless game
I’ll regret like every time
My life is a play in red and blue
And time’s standing still for me

This Music

I couldn’t find a word to say
How beautiful I found this music

It made me question everything today
I thought I’d better stay out of this

‘Cause what I found out is that
Things you love the most
They also hurt the most

But where am I standing?
I really, really don’t know yet

I’ll go on, there’s nothing else to do

But my head is aching and I
But my head is aching and I

Don’t know why
Don’t know why
Don’t know why

Things you love the most
They also hurt the most

Lovesong (for the crazy)

You make me feel
That it’s ok that I’m crazy

You have always known
Happiness is possible
When you live right now

Life gets so complicated
When I am scared
Your child is still inside you
Simply trusting

That everything will be good
‘Cause you can handle the million ways of life

I have found in you
Natural agreement
With a crazy girl

When You’re Gone

Close your eyes and think of me
Close your eyes and feel me
With every star and every smile
I’ll be with you

Today I’m here
Tomorrow I’m there
I’m changing faster than ever
But with everything that comes out or not
You stand next to me

I know it’s not always easy to love
But there’s nothing I could do
When I close my eyes
I just see you

Connected

Your eyes tell me what I want to know
Maybe it’s not your eyes
We are connected, still
Still we are, somehow

I have never wanted to leave you lonely
I was so afraid
I wish you could have stayed
But you have, somehow

You have never used a lot of words
No empty words
I know nothing’s perfect
But we are connected, still
You are here with me

My Mind

This is burning inside me
This is squeezing me out,
Pumping me up,
Devouring me from within

I could cry out loud
But I can’t

I would like to be relaxed
I’m everything else

Could you switch off my mind?
Would you please free me?
Honey, could you do that,
Do that for me?

Thoughts are tumbling around me
Worlds are crushing me,
Corroding me
Can’t keep myself on the ground

In could shout it out
But I don’t
I would like to take the show in hand,
I’m benumbed

Could you switch off my mind?
…

I always thought there could be someone
To save me

No one can save you
No one can save you

No one can save you from yourself

Wer Liebt

Augen
So schön wie die Sonne
Tief
Schön wie die Nacht

Das Mondlicht
Es schleicht sich leise
Und strahlend vor Freude
Heran
Um dich
Zu berühren

Bin schwer
Unbeweglich
Und doch ohne Ruh
Kann sie nicht finden
Nicht halten

Wer liebt
Der schläft nicht

Crossing and Blending

Would it be too much effort to give me one smile?
Don’t you know that you affect my world?

Nobody lives on his own
Worlds are crossing and blending
Creating new worlds, creating new worlds

Isn’t it beautiful that we are here?
I’m gonna try to understand this world.

Nobody lives without reason
We are wonders, treasures
Creating new live, creating new live

We are surprising
Maybe we are deeper than we know
We are influential
Don’t play with that

Beauty Everywhere

There is beauty everywhere
It’s in the eye of the beholder

Do you see?
