lyrics 07. September 2001

Is it true that it’s all yours?
All that’s conceived so well?
Is it true that it’s your act?
All these consummate plays?

Along the icy rain
Your song remains the same

It’s not true today
That is what you say

Is it you that is off stage?
Beyond your properties?
Is it true that I'm in here?
While I’m last to know?

It’s not true today
That is what you say

lyrics 26. January 2000

Dream while you wake up
There’s a thread of lull that’s wearing thin
Step in

Don’t dwell in the doorway
Live your dream and patiently walk in
Begin

Walk
As the summer’s moving down on you

Wait for sigh/sign and
Rapidly ascend into the air
Stay There

Rule out the night so
I can see you while you’re stirring there
Nowhere

Smile
As I’m lying down to join you there

lyrics 01. December 2000

In the still light
In the sunshine
Free as all

Naked and free
Like a bird’s wing
Here am I

When the bell rings
Let the hurt in
When the moon sinks
We can start

My heart is
My heart is
My heart is gold

In our new views
There is no truth
Like before

Walking on by
So where am I?
Far away

lyrics 12. March 2002

I bore your son
On milky ways
And spread your wings
I dared to say

The waiting years
Of pasted days
You sold my heart
And kept it self

In beautiful and sinking waves
You cut my throat and ate my heart

I wore your hair
On cloudy days
And spread the fire
Melting away

In beautiful and open wounds
You played a game that you have had

The beautiful and fearless taste
In all your green and mellow fields

lyrics 13. February 2001

There is an easy way to
Keep it all inside
You think that I was up to
Oh, well, nevermind

It’s never been that way
You'd never dare to ask

There was an easy way to
I guess I missed that one
I think that I was up to
But now my day is done

It never worked like that
Would be the first time anyway

It was so well prepared
We were so well adjusted
But now it’s one of those
Things I'll never figure out

And this is how it stays
We’d never dare to change
