1 Though you have been there for so long
Though you have roots and they are strong
Could not imagine different way
You never changed or went astray

2 But something’s different now
The feeling’s wrong somehow
But something must have changed
The posts are rearranged


3 Though you have pledged it till the end
Though every day seemed like godsend
Could not imagine changing track
Once you were in there’s no way back

4 But something is not right
All gone’s the old delight
But something tells you that
The heights are somehow flat


pre-chorus
You pushed it far from you
Though you know that it’s true
You can pretend no more
Like all the years before

You pushed it far behind
But it’s still in your mind
You brainwash your own brain
But it is all in vain


chorus
When old flames seem all gone
The heat turned into ice
You simply must move on
Search different paradise

bridge
But the past holds you inside
You can’t leave although you’ve tried
But the past holds you within
You must lose it first to win

The night ahead is calm and long
The band will play each sweetest song
The ocean’s breath is flowing in the breeze
The sand is warm from each hot day
And there folks dance the night away
Festoons are hanging from the lush palm trees

And I am looking for that special girl
Whose eyes will smile and her long hair will twirl
And I am looking for that special dance
Cause it will be the start of sweet romance


The night will rock the folks around
The vibes in sweetness will abound
The ocean is inviting to dive in
The music flows in hot night air
Hot bodies dance now everywhere
You watch and in your mind you’re close to sin

And I am looking for a girl for me
That in my dreams emerged ones from the sea
And I’m looking for that gentle touch
Cause that is what I have dreamt of so much


After many ocean dips
Each so lovely and so fine
I will get to kiss her lips
She will get then to kiss mine

After dancing for a while
Laughing at the jokes I tell
I’ll see your love smitten smile
You will see mine then as well


Ocean delight
And stars above
A special night
To fall in love

As time is passing by
I’m counting every day
I think my clocks just lie
As minutes go away

Each second laughs into my face
Next one comes laughing now apace

Another minute passed
It felt like hour long
They say a minute’s fast
But I think they are wrong

Chorus
I’m waiting for tomorrow
They tell me it is near
I’m counting years of sorrow
But just today is here


An hour passed again
But twenty three still wait
To make the whole day then
And I think each one’s late

Each second’s longer than a week
And why they taunt me they’re so meek

Each second tortures me with time
It’s such a slow time-stretching crime



Bridge / outro
Cause I’m moving at the speed of light
It takes million years for just one night
Cause I move across the galaxies
Through all time consuming fallacies

Cause I’m zooming faster than I think
Galaxies pass by just when I blink
But it is the time that’s standing still
So I have a million years to kill

your life has put me in a box
I feel again like in a cage
all hopes of mine are on the rocks
I bottle up my helpless rage

oh I just cannot go on

you say I just belong to you
I must be at your beck and call
you order round and I must do
cause I am nothing you are all

oh I just cannot go on
oh and soon I will be gone


chorus
so I just run away from the old me
so I just run because I was born free
so I just run to make my life elsewhere
so I just run from those who do not care


your rules just make my sweet dreams die
I see them lying on the floor
the rules just make me sob and cry
I can take all of this no more

oh please tell me when it ends

I thought that love would bring me bliss
cause that’s what it’s supposed to bring
but I saw not a glimpse of this
cause it comes with a vicious sting

oh please tell me when it ends
oh I do not need false friends


bridge
I feel free when I can run
towards the promised and free land
won’t belong to anyone
why it’s so hard to understand

outro
I feel free when on the go
I wasn’t born to serve and please
I will fly where free winds blow
I will not beg down on my knees

1 The sky above is getting black
It means a storm comes near
The angry winds won’t push it back
The clouds won’t disappear

The sabre rattling brought this storm
And it won’t go away
Cause sabre rattling is the norm
For people of today


2 The people want to feel pure might
And there’s a way they choose
And those who win are always right
And no one wants to lose

The graves of soldiers from the past
Do not mean much these days
A battle flag is on the mast
Like in old wicked ways


3 See those young men all trained so well
Awaiting the command
To press the button to bring hell
The humankind’s last stand

And after that there’s no one left
To see the burning sky
No one’s alive no one’s bereft
The humankind will die



chorus
There’s no shelter from the bomb
There’s not point to run or hide
Two world wars and then Vietnam
In Syria still so many die

Bridge
War is just behind next door
Someone’s holding the right key
Millions died but we want more
Only death will make us free

I closed my eyes and I could find
Another storm inside my mind
It’s violent and hurt my brain
I tried to fight it but in vain

So I gave up and had enough
My life for me may be too tough
I wished to end it on that day
To disappear and fade away

I burst in tears cause all that was too much
But then I felt your kind and gentle touch
I heard your voice and felt your warm kind heart
And I knew something magical did start

And you said
I am here to care for you
Cause life’s precious yours is too
I am here to help you up
And to fill again your cup

I am here cause you’re so dear
I won’t let you disappear
I am here to help you out
When your life is full of doubt

You need a shelter from yourself



I still could not believe my eyes
It was a sweet and great surprise
Cause no one ever cared for me
Wherever I could go or be

I still could not believe my luck
I was amazed I felt awestruck
And I could feel the touch of grace
As I was looking at your face

I burst in tears cause all that was too much
But then I felt your kind and gentle touch
I heard your voice and felt your warm kind heart
And I knew something magical did start

And I said
Please stay always by my side
Cause I was in pain and cried
Please don’t leave me any more
Like my fake friends did before

Please stay close to me at night
And shine on me your warm light
Please don’t go when I’m alone
When by cold winds I am blown

I need a shelter from myself

1 It is midday on the clock
And still locked is the door lock
I am sitting here alone
Counting minutes on my own

2 When it’s evening I’m still here
I shall make it very clear
I’m not gonna go away
I will be here every day


Chorus
Locked down’s all reality
Locked down every thought
Locked down’s all morality
And it hurts a lot

I am sitting here in pain
Watching my dreams die
Soon I’m gonna go insane
If no one drops by


3 When the night comes to my place
It is still the same old case
I am locked behind the door
Same walls ceiling and the floor

4 Then the morning comes around
Still to this room I am bound
I’m not going anywhere
Though I want to I won’t dare


Bridge
Anyone please talk to me
From this silence set me free
Any word before the night
Does not have to be polite

Just a handshake now would do
It would help me to get through
For a hug I pine and crave
Or I’ll end up in a grave

Empty walls
Empty room
Zero calls
Grief and doom

Silent bell
Silent phone
I’m not well
I’m alone

Cause you have gone
You’re somewhere far
Now pain is on
It leaves a scar

Cause you have left
So far from me
I feel bereft
Like lost at sea



Empty day
Empty heart
Hope’s away
Far apart

Silent night
Silent tears
No delight
Only fears

You said goodbye
You shut the door
Now I just cry
My tears will pour

I said don’t go
I begged don’t leave
And now you know
That I will grieve



double bridge
Like a bird that lost its wings
I cannot feel free at all
Look what broken heart love brings
Dreams are lost and hopes just fall

Like a fish when lakes dried up
I can’t solely live on air
Only tears can fill my cup
I feel only pure despair


chorus
I am waiting here in pain
Like a flower with no rain
I am waiting here in tears
And my love just disappears
