1. ON THE BEACH

Between the eyes of love
I call your name
Behind those guarded walls
I used to go
Upon a summer wind
There's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place
That know
Down on the beach

The secrets of the summer
I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No one but you and I
Underneath that moon lit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach

Forever in my dreams
My heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place
That I know
On the beach


2. LITTLE BLONDE PLAITS

Sweet September
I remember
Eyes of August, deepest blue
While the easy town was sleeping
Strangest love I ever knew

Feel the wind blow
See the shadows
Kiss the breeze of a sudden shore
Of my life's loves and fascinations
The only one who left me wanting more
Little blonde plaits

Drink to you love
Drink to me love
Sun burned feet on a dusty track
Evening waves that turned in twilight
Caught forever those little blonde plaits


3. GIVERNY

Deep inside these dusty walls
There's a sacred heart
I'd know this garden anywhere
She was warm, she was deep summertime
She was love itself
And she was standing there
Standing close, so close to me
I close my eyes, and I can see
Giverny

And in this strange and holy place
I looked for love and found it everywhere
It was what you saw
She came to me
Because of you, she was standing there
Giverny

Books may burn and rain may fall
But what is here, I know will last
Forever more
Colours change there are no defines
She was love itself
And I thank you for giving me
Giverny


4. LUCKY DAY

A little bit of day light
Shines on my pillow
It comes through my window pane
Speak of the morning
Hope is eternal
Better to look at it this way
This could be my lucky day

A glass filled with crystals
Six million rainbows
Gifted to see with children's eyes
Always a small chance
Of shooting that rainbow
Bless this dawn with sweet surprise
This could be my luck day


5. JUST PASSING THROUGH

Soldiers of fortune
Lost in the wind
No destinations
And nothing to win
Keeping heads above water
You get dirty and mean
Scrubbing forever
And you never come clean

A life that is easy
A dream that comes true
Flowers for someone
But they sure ain't for me...
Your room's filled with soft light
Safe and secure
Mine is the dark night
And nothings for sure

We're just passing through

A life that is easy
A dream to be free
Flowers for someone...
But they ain't for you
And they sure ain't for me

We're just passing through


6. IT'S ALL GONE

A carefuless heart ain't no good to no one
I was going back my friends to see
Of what became my childhood day dreams
Of all the things that used to be
To my surprise
I stood alone
I walked a river of a walking dream
My father say, "know what you're thinking"
I guess this old town's seen better days

It's all gone
There's nothing for you here now
Sail on

And I'm sailing on, I'm running faster
Than I ever run before
My fathers say, I know what you're thinking
Guess this old town's seen better days
Sail on


7. HELLO FRIEND

Hello friend, where you been so long?
Time goes by, so easy it sleeps away
Just like a shadow
At the end of a day

Hello friend, how are things for you these days?
Some guy from "way-back-when"
He mentioned your name
Did he ever get back to you?
Ah you know I told him to

Sometimes I turn and I swear I hear you call
And I often wonder, how we lost what we knew
Seems it's all gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by...

The bridges you burned, long sinced turned into ashes
When there were no reasons
Now the river runs dry
Seems it's gone in the wind

Washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
Where you been so long...
Where've you been so long...


8. TWO ROADS

Ain't it funny how
You never can tell
It always seems to hit you
When it's going so well
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Now it's lawyers-at midnight
And the learning begins...

Let's take a walk outside
In the morning sun
There ain't no working out
No battles to be won
Oh darling, take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom
And we'll always be

Two roads

You can wait a life time for the hammer to fall
Some folks get lucky
They don't see it at all
We were bound to drift away
From the very first day one
Two different journeys
And neither was wrong

Let's take a walk outside
In the morning sun
There ain't no working out
No battles to be won
Oh darling take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom
And we'll always be

Two roads

Two different lifetimes, we just happened to meet
Traded some "good times" on the corner of the street
We were no more than strangers attracted to one
And the same sense of freedom
But we'd always be on

Two roads


9. LIGHT OF HOPE

This is the garden that know
Ten thousand summers wait me here
You lead and I will follow
Your heart is my to-morrow
Into your womb, I fade away

And while she laughs
Your pride is turning into snow
And melting on the face
Of this light of hope
Shine on light of hope
Light of hope

And while she laughs
Your pride is turning into snow
And dancing on the graves
Of what you though you used to know
And in this garden
I will burn my callous robes
And forever love my darling
Light of hope


10. AUF IMMER UND EWIG

No sunny day
No sky of blue
Just a pale moon on the wings of the wind
No diamond rings
No pretty dreams
Two people caught in chains
Of each other

And there was no other way
This was how it was to be
The flame will haunt you
Constantly
There'll never be a day

Auf immer und ewig?
Auf immer und ewig?


11. FREEWAY

She throws her hair into the February breeze
She hears it singing through the branches of the trees
A song of something
She knows so well
And she's still looking for a freeway

She hears the sound of distant planes across the night
She catches a fleeting glimpse of fading red tail lights
Into tomorrow she gently sleeps
And she's still dreaming of a freeway

Far away, there's a piece of luck somewhere
Shining like a star, in the night
Dream on lady, till the early morning light
Takes your dream to be free

Away


12. BLESS THEM ALL

(Instrumental)


13. CRACK THAT MOULD

You got to break the back of the mould
You were made in it
Crack the shell, that's how it's got to be
Nothing for certain
Ain't no way of knowing
Only believe in things that you see

Flow with the river
Run with the tide
Mix with your brother
Because he's right by your side
Crack that mould

Little bitty chicken
You can't stay in there forever
Now there ain't such a thing as only
One kind of weather

You got to bend learn
Take the rough with the smooth
Understand everything
Crack that mould

Now there ain't such a thing as only

Pick up them shoes, go running down that road
You know that preconception, is such a heavy load
You got to live love
Put down that written word
Crack that mould

Now there ain't such a thing as only
