SOMETHING TO COUNT ON

My heart is beating like a train when I go down the tracks again in my old town
I smell and taste the air reminding me of all the good days, so safe and sound

See the lonely lady staring out the window
Not a thing about the people that she doesn’t know, today and years ago
Is she the same, today and years ago
And who’s to blame, today and years ago
In your time, my time, anytime​​

I need something to count on
Like a dream when we were young
A big thing to believe
Not knowing what to do
I need something to get done
Til I’m somebody’s someone
And that’s all that I need
And now: how about you

My heart was beating like a train first time I ever saw you, first day of spring
You stole a glance my way and I knew that I had to meet you, more than anything

Deep inside it felt like heavy stormy weather
The inner voice was yelling boy go out and get her for, today and years to come
What is her name, today and years to come
I’m fanning the flame, today and years to come
In your time, my time, anytime​

How do I know that the right thing is the right thing
Get your head out off the tight sling
And pep yourself up each and everyday

BETTER LIFE

See there’s a CEO of an IT company
On the executive floor​
His wife had started to cheat but in fact so had he
He never had the time she longed for
And there is a young girl at the bus stop holding a cup
She has put on much weight
She almost lost her job ‚cause the company’s a flop
Today she was too late for her date

I mean everybody wants a better life
I mean everybody wants a better life
I wish we could all be free some day saying
Everything’s all right

See the lady in gold at the corner acting tough
She wears expensive jewels
Her grandson’s ripped her off now she has had enough
It’s almost time for her final rules​
And there is a young boy with tan-lines near the pool
​Why is he feeling sad
The teacher wasn’t cool and next day after school
He said he wants to meet this boys‘ dad

Today everybody’s living on a dream
But with greed the people all become so mean
I wonder if we learn some day
How the days could be so bright for us all

And what about me when I am singing along
Will I win your hearts
I fear this pretty song isn’t movin‘ anyone
So it will never ever gonna hit the charts

I mean everybody wants to have it all
But into each life a little rain must fall
To help remind all of us of the
Good, great and better life that we have

DO YOU LOVE ME

You have cried on my shoulder
When the world outside was cruel, to lean on me
I feel we’re getting older
‚Cause I start to feel for you, do you for me

We have only been the best friends
Now everything seems wrong but feels so right
I’m afraid our friendship will end
But I see everything in a new light

Do you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Wake me, wake me, wake me
And save me, save me, save me

You acted undercover
Like the calm before the storm, the changes were small
It never felt like lovers
Now we are like novices in starting stalls

I was not aware who you are
You slowly lit the flame inside my heart
You have been so near and so far
When I was caught outside in the misty dark

Ohhoo oohh oohh oohh

AFRAID OF LANDING

I lift up and leave the ground below​​
​I touch a cloud and watch the landscape glow
Sometimes I can spot my own reflection on the oceans
​The sun burns and icy winds blow cold
Below are turns and history so old
Sometimes I am not so much affected by emotions

Far too early to land
​Where true lovers stand
Where twosomes draw hearts into the sand

See with these signals I am sending
​How life is up here in the sky
Maybe I’m just afraid of landing
​Maybe these wings still wanna fly

I read the tracks and signs I am a scout
​The water that’s below shifts up to clouds
Each time you are hoping that I will ever change my ways
I read your acts and see the signs you tell
And there’s a chance I fall under your spell
Each time at the speed of sound I end up in a daze

Make like the wind and blow
Learn to let love show
And set the course to find your rainbow

It’s not that you are too demanding
I only need this space alone
​Maybe I’m just afraid of landing
And not yet ready to come home
Just afraid of landing

I am not pretending, but let us not drag out the ending
How life is up here in the sky
Descending to find your rainbow oh – so high
See with these signals I am sending
To find the air way back, and fight the way to find by my own
Maybe I’m just afraid of landing

LONG WAY TO GO

The Universe is big
And never too old to learn a trick
From the nutshells to the bomb hells
Keeping planet blue
When natives are trying to blow in two
No salvation through mass desctruction

I am leaving, will you miss me
We are good at throwing it all away – away today

It is a long way to go, on this mission
And it’s a one man show, the lonely only road

Water turning green
No atmosphere, ground and air unclean
Life is biting but love means fighting
Future isn’t here
So volunteer ’n get your butt in gear
Philanthropists do astronautics

I am leaving, hope you miss me
Will you keep our story alive if I pay the price

It is a long way to go, on this mission
And it’s a one man show, the lonely only road
Now it’s a long way to go, over stormy waters
And it’s a one man show, the lonely only hope

We are addict, systematic
We are good at making mistakes in dire straits
I am leaving, please forgive me
We will keep on moving ahead whatever it takes

EASY TO LOVE

Your worst nightmare came true
Since she revealed the truth
Breaking your heart in two
You do not have any illusions left
You have experienced
Lies, cheating, ignorance
Hate, pain and turbulance
What a great example of what to expect

Time takes you over the shock
Do not hide and crawl back broken under the rock

It’s so easy to love
Theres a place in every heart
Shining like the stars above
It’s so easy to love
Theres a light in every day
​
But we lose it as we turn away

It’s out there within reach
Romantic in a speech
Hot-blooded on the beach
Suddenly appears when your ship is wrecked

There’s no curse, no secret fight
So do not hide and disappear lone into the night

Love it may come, love it may go
You will find a way to prove, that love is true
Love it may come, Love it may go
Trust and you will meet some day and love will stay

It’s so easy to love
If we stop in wanting bad
What the others have and forgive
It’s so easy to love
If you understand and share
And you wanna care and let live
It’s so easy to love
There’s a place in every heart
Shining like all gods in one
It’s so easy to love
There’s a light in every day
So go and turn it on

BIG LOVE

Her way of cheating was so easy
I thought that when she teased me
She was so playful and she giggled
But my ice did not melt
I resisted her smile completely
I am spellbound far in another world
In love with my girl

Back I thought bad bout the prying kiss
Like handcuffs on my wrists
And being married is old-fashioned
Couples are not so impassioned
How could I’ve been so blind and faithless
Now I realize that I have been so wrong
And maybe too young

It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter – They say fun has all gone
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter – Now you’re my number one

Big love will find and rescue you
Big love will find and test you, too
This kind of remedy, is cheap and sweet and free
So late, so great, can’t wait for your love to release me

It is the first time I feel complete
Our hearts strike with the same beat
Now we are speaking without talking
We already know where we are walking
Tough times of trouble, we won’t struggle
Cause our souls are spiritually strong
Together as one​

Now just keep fighting and rely on love

BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED

Can’t we get, can’t we get, can’t we get
Can’t we get, can’t we get, can’t we get

You say „hey“ it’s over
You’re Calais and I’m Dover
There’s a gap between us
And you see no way to fix that
We never missed a thing
But we’ve changed, and stopped talking
There’s a gap between us
Just old photographs to look at

Yesterday the way was bright of sunshine
But winds turned up and blew away the good times ​
Can’t we get back to where we started
We’ll find a way so we’re not broken hearted

To stop that both heart breaks
We must learn from mistakes
And keep this flame burning
With respect and understanding
What are we without us
Dead memories around us
Let’s keep this flame burning
And make it forever lasting

Yesterday when everything was so fine
We both held hands and walked under the moonshine ​
Can’t we get back to where we started
We’ll find a way so we’re not broken hearted

RAINY DAYS

Streets are crowded today, multiple umbrellas, people are walking fast
Someone cleans the brushes, washes away the colours, yes the grey is so vast
Gone are the bees, they are hiding in trees or in places overseas
I feel the same, falling out of the frame is a jump but not a shame

Do you wanna hang around with me
Can’t we stay together you and me
The timber fire burns

Rainy days are made for lovers, stay in bed
Let’s keep away from all others, until it’s night
Rainy days are made for lovers, smile instead
Take your time and take good cover until it’s bright

Sky is cloudy today, birds are flying low and I really don’t want to go
Good for all the flowers, trees are looking happy, but I don’t like it so
Your feet are so cold, do you wanna behold, come to see our hearts of gold
No need to fuss, it’s the weather in us, yeah we change and we adjust

Do you wanna spend some time with me
Can’t we stay together you and me
Until the sun returns

Rainy days are made – They will make your day
Rainy days are great – Good to keep away

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

You walked by and I turned to stone
Probably you are a long way from home
It’s a feeling that I’ve never known
And I wonder if you sleep all alone

Who is she

Is it love at first sight, I don’t know
Is it love at first sight, It feels so

I’m too shy to ask for your name
And I’m scared to see you back down again
You’re taboo but it’s me who’s to blame
I’m afraid to be left crying in the rain

Excuse me

Is it love at first sight, I don’t know
Is it love at first sight, It feels so
And if I am not too shy this moment will never die

I wish I’d only asked for your name
I’m not sure we’ll ever meet again
Your silhouette just disappeared on the plane
It’s the only picture left in my brain

C’est la vie

You walked by and I turned to stone
Probably you are a long way from home

Is it love at first sight, I don’t know
Is it love at first sight, It feels so
Is it love at first sight, I’ll never know if I am right
If I should just let this moment go, go

WHEREVER YOU MAY BE
I’m on my way and I am walking on my own
I always have you on my mind
When I left you said you can’t wait in this town
You need to leave it all behind

When I left I had your picture in my hand
No one can love you like I do
Stars are shining on the way but I can see no end
And I will come back to you

Wherever you may be
It should be easy
​You believe in me

One day we will be free
It should be easy
To hold on believe in me

My journey leads me deeper down into a twilight zone
I don’t know what you truly feel
The winds get colder now and I’m freezing to the bone
Awaiting to get truly healed

Am I running just to run away from myself
I don’t get it really clear
Do I fear that my free spirit will be trapped and shelved
I wanna get out of here

OUR PLACE TO HIDE

This will be our place to hide
This will be our place to hide
This will be our place to hide
Our place to hide

There is shelter when it rains
There is laughter and no pain
All that was given is not taken away
And all we believe in, will forever stay

When the world is in the way I slip into a dream
Of which we’ve wrote the theme
The perfect getaway forever and a day
We make love in that stream
We’ve gotta fight the great divide, let’s hitch a ride
And forever this will be our place to hide

We seek rainbows but no clowds
I smell flowers, a way out
There is no trouble, it is too far away
My perfect dream is to make me your day
