1 Lately

Lately, it‘s not going so well
Lately I felt
Everything is just not right
When you’re not being by my side

Lately, I think about you
You know I‘m a fool
But I can only say
Especially at the end of a day…

Chorus
Save me, save me,
Save me from myself
Save me, save me
Tonight

Lately, when I look into my heart
Oh where do I start
I‘m so sorry I hurt you
But without you I‘m a fool

Lately, I got it all wrong
I should have been strong
You know I won‘t forgive me
Without you there‘ll never be a we

Chorus

2 Wintertime

It‘s late at night
It‘s wintertime
No word is coming from my mouth
I‘ve just returned
All by myself
by myself, it‘s wintertime

I think of you
It‘s hard to see
It‘s hard to watch things die
All by myself, it‘s wintertime
And I can‘t even cry

I just have learned
I‘ve learned by heart
I‘ve learned to watch things die
All by myself, it‘s wintertime
And I can‘t even cry

I think of you
And I want to die
Don‘t know what‘s going on
Within my mind

So cold inside
So dark this night
Like wintertime
All by myself
So cold inside

So cold inside
So dark this night
Like wintertime
All by myself
So cold inside, just like wintertime
just like wintertime

3 Colours of the Sea

Deep inside our mind
we might never find
who we really are
and what we want‘s too far
away and locked inside
deep inside our mind

Deep inside our heart
we might never part
with what is lost and gone
and we might still hold on
to what should have been drowned
never ever to be found

Chorus:
All colours of the sea
Blue, black and green
bury deep inside
the treasures of our mind
they might never surface
we‘ll never know or always miss
– the colours of our mind

Deep inside of us
there‘s always doubt and trust
There‘s low and high tide,
busy days and lonely nights
But we all have this secret door
that hides what we are looking for

Chorus

4 Withered Leaves

Some withered Leaves
Are still to find
Into the darkness of your mind
Springtime sun is softly breaking through

A distant wind touches your skin
It feels like blossoms born again
Like in the desert you have found
Some drops of water on the ground.

Chorus:
Through the distance you will fly
Watching life is passing by.
Just a withered leave down on the Ground
You might have lost you might have won
The Wheels of Time they will go on
Like the echo of an endless Sound

Dark clouds are rising in the sky
You watch black Birds are passing by
You will never keep them tight

They go on sailing through the wind
You touch the blossom once again
Before it tumbles from your hand
Into the dry desert sand

Chorus

5 I Lose, You Win

Darkness all around
The snowflakes make no sound
The streetlights almost died
when we shadowed their lights

The last scene of this romance
is pityfully shaking hands
Wherever I go, whatever I see
this picture will always
stay with me

Chorus:
I lose, you win, may a new chapter begin
But I‘ll be missing your smile
for a very long time

The memories I have are all that is left
But I can‘t hold on forever
cause it’s the last time we‘re together

And the snowflakes in your hair
make it hard to fight the despair
And your friendly smile
will surely hurt me for a while

Chorus

Take your train
I‘ll take the pain
You start something new
I‘ll wait for other dreams come true
You wave good bye
Don‘t mind me cryin‘
You start something new
I‘ll wait for other dreams come true

Chorus

6 Wide Awake

I‘m the sun. I’ll keep you warm
I‘m a shelter. I‘ll keep you from the storm

I‘m a rock still above the sea
I‘m a boat a boat for you and me

Chorus:
I’m wide awake, open eyes
I‘m with you in this fire
waiting till the higher
flames burn down
burn down
burn down
burn down

I‘m a star, in the darkest night
Near or far, I‘ll send the brightest light

I‘m a friend, I‘m standing by your side
We‘re in love and love is always right

Chorus

Little fires everywhere
Lets just not care
Whatever they say
We’ll die another day

Chorus

7 Dusk till Dawn

You were always with us
But after all these many years
there came the end, there came the tears
and left us with believe and trust

And now that you are gone
I wish that you can feel the love
from some place far and far above
Maybe you‘re still holding on

Chorus:
Are you the shadow in my life
that follows me from dusk till dawn?
Even when I sit and moan
I get the feeling I‘ll survive
– at least I will from dusk till dawn

Are you one of the stars
illuminating all that‘s dark
sending down that little spark
that we will cherish in our hearts

It‘s just a ray of hope
that shimmers in the twilight,
makes the night seem almost bright
and brighter until we can cope

Chorus

8 Face of Love

By the Look into your Eyes
I was falling
Through the Universe

I‘m so curious of your tears
They may wipe away all my fears

Bridge:
We both are
So afraid
Of falling
Much deeper
Than ever we
Dared to believe
For we are just
Beginners

Chorus:
In the faith of Love
In the faith of Love
In the faith of Love
In the faith of Love
In the faith of Love
In the faith of Love

Rising up into the sky
Neverending
I believe in you and me
There‘s something
On my mind
I‘m so sure with you
You bring me Peace of mind

Bridge

Chorus

9  In a Mirror, Darkly

Hiding, we are hiding
in a mirror, darkly
Hiding, we are hiding
in a mirror, darkly

It’s just a shadow in the night
that tries to keep out of the light
It‘s hidden in a secret place
years, months and weeks and days

It disappears in the sunlight
It‘s always wrong and never right
It‘s a miracle if it survives
It meets most people in their lives

Chorus:
We’re living two lives, one on the other side
in a mirror, darkly
We’re living a lie on the other side
in a mirror, darkly
Hiding, we are hiding
in a mirror, darkly
Hiding, we are hiding
in a mirror, darkly

Secrets follow you wherever you go
whether you say yes or no
They‘re the kind of friends you want to forget
and the things in life you most regret

They disappear in the sunlight
They‘re always wrong and never right
They will never ever survive
still meet most people in their lives

Chorus

10 Jungle

A jungle of illusions
sprawling through our lives
They meander in confusion
but keep us all alive

Wanna see behind the curtain?
I don‘t think so
Wanna know for certain?
Honey, I don‘t know

Chorus:
Let‘s be the sun that’s in love with the moon
Let‘s be the moon that’s in love with sun
So looking forward to hearing from you soon
But please don‘t say that I am the one
Oh please don‘t say that I am the one

Let‘s not be chained together
Let us fly
Let‘s not say it‘s forever
‘cause it would be a lie

Do we wanna lose the magic?
Do we wanna be seen through?
You know it would be tragic
and the end of me and you

Chorus

11 Smile

Don‘t give me that,
give me that
Where‘s your smile?
So innocent and divine

Don‘t worry, please,
no worries please
the time is right
to be happy once in a while

Chorus:
Sunshine
I wish for sunshine
Sunshine
on a rainy day

Sunshine
I wish for sunshine
Oh sunshine
and your sweet smile

Don‘t let me
don‘t let me
wait too long
today‘s the day, nothing can go wrong

Don‘t be alarmed
don‘t be alarmed
my love is true
my only weakness is loving you

Chorus

12 1000 Letters

Everything is coming up roses
I don‘t know why
You and me in a bed of roses
Wondering why
There‘s no more sighing

No more sighing
All I feared just disappeared
I don‘t know why
All the sorrow, all the tears
and we‘re wondering why
there’s no more sighing
No more sighing

Chorus:
I’ll send an army of white doves
with thousand letters saying I’m in love
I‘ll build a fortress round our love
with an army of white doves
We’re in love
We’re in love
We’re in love

Lalala Lalalala La

Suddenly all worries are gone
We‘re thick as thieves
Suddenly we’re just as strong
We still believe
Like once before
Once before

Chorus

13 Different Kinds of Rain

Do you believe in fate?
And do you sit and wait
until it passes by
and grab the wings and fly?

What if you‘re torn apart?
What if there‘s no new start
and the chances you got
are now all out of stock?

Chorus:
These different kinds of rain
keep falling on my head
Is there something left to gain
or much more to regret?

These different kinds of rain
keep falling on my head
Is there something left to gain
or much more to regret?

What if the winds blow strong?
What if your umbrella‘s gone?
You‘ll see the different kinds of rain
over and over again

But you will never know
when the next storm will show
and it might just go by
and give you a chance to fly

Chorus

14 The Wrong We

The bond we had was strong
I’ve no idea what went wrong
You‘re smiling in the wrong direction
It‘s crystal clear there is affection


And even if I was blind
I‘d see that someone else is on your mind
I want to shout and scream
and wake up from this bad dream


Chorus:
But you disappeared into the night
So how can I fight
when you’re not with me
saying to the wrong girl: ‚we‘

But you disappeared into the night
So how can I fight
when you’re not with me
saying to the wrong girl: ‚we‘

I‘m sitting on the edge of my bed
Maybe I‘m sitting on the edge of what we had
I can‘t breath anymore
hoping you‘ll come back through that door

It‘s like I never knew you
I can‘t tell what‘s false or true
I hope you‘ll maybe see
that you and me are really we

Chorus

15 Footprints

For Nadine

I‘m sleeping in a bed of feathers
I‘m flying without wings
Hoping for a miracle
the universe might bring


I‘m sleeping on a cloud
as soft as it can be
when suddenly a dove
brings this peaceful message to me

Chorus:
It‘s all about our love
we give and we receive
It‘s all about eternity
and the footprints that we leave

Let‘s jump from cloud to cloud
Let‘s dance here for a while
Let‘s send a message home
that this is not good bye

I‘ll always be around
And there‘ll be many signs
I‘ll be your lost and found
and you and I will be fine

Chorus

16 Home at Last

I‘m crossing a river
ice cold but I won‘t shiver
cause all I do is think of you
I‘ll see you when our dreams come true

No matter what I love you
I‘ll find a way so that the two
of us will be together
tomorrow and forever

This mountain‘s so high
but as long as I can‘t fly
I will try to find the right path
that leads me home at last

Even in the darkest hour
even if I‘m just a coward
I know where I belong
I‘ll find my way and I‘ll be strong

I‘ll forget about the fears
Let‘s forget about our tears
May our wings just have some feathers
we will always fly together

Let this mountain be high
but together we can fly
and surely find the right path
that leads us home at last

17 Killing You

You‘re the shadow that follows me
no matter where the sun stands
You‘ll find the door and the key
of my house on my land


You‘re in my thoughts and my dreams
and in the wine that I drink
You shine from stars and sunbeams
You dictate what I think


Until I decided to kill you
I‘m sorry, you know that I have to
‚Cause the sky is so blue
It’s a good day to kill you
The sky is so blue
It‘s a good day to kill you


I know that while I‘m sleeping
you put the dark thoughts in my brain
And when I start moving
You sneak into my veins

I know you are so powerful
You put the clouds up for the rain
But I will take back my control
and wipe away the fear and pain

Because I decided to kill you
I‘m sorry, you know that I have to
‚Cause the sky is so blue
It’s a good day to kill you
The sky is so blue
It‘s a good day to kill you

18 Break, Break, Break

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.


O, well for the fisherman‘s boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O, well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!

Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.

And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanish‘d hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!

Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
Ohe thoughts that arise in me.

Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.

1 Together

Dear life where have you been
and where will you be going
I’ve asked my legs and feet
but they don’t have a lead

Dear love where have you been
and where will you be going
I’ve asked my heart and soul
but they don’t know at all

Chorus

Dear life dear love dear sense
you are my oldest friends
This relationship is forever
but we have to try and work together

Dear sense where have you been
and where will you be going
Asked my synapses and my brain
but they don’t know I asked in vain

Chorus

Life’s sometimes hard to please
It’s like the manual’s in Chinese
Can’t help I don’t have a clue
Somebody tell me what to do

Chorus

2 Stumble

Do I believe in myself
or does somebody else
have to tell me
Do they have to tell me

And if something goes wrong
am I really all that strong
You made me rely on you
but your feelings were untrue

Chorus
You made me stumble
but I didn’t fall
You made me tumble
but I will stand tall

You don’t care anymore
My heart is still sore
But I will be strong
and my life will go on

Chorus

You think I’m weak
You think you’re all I need
I’m not stupid anymore
and so much stronger than before

Chorus

3 In Memoriam

The Way of the Soul, Alfred Lord Tennyson

XXVII
I envy not in any moods
The captive void of noble rage
The linnet born within the cage
That never knew the summer woods:

I envy not the beast that takes
His license in the field of time
Unfetter’d by the sense of crime
To whom a conscience never wakes;

Nor what may count itself as blest
The heart that never plighted troth
But stagnates in the weeds of sloth;
Nor any want-begotten rest

I hold it true whate’er befall;
I feel it when I sorrow most;
‚Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all

4 Fire and Rainbow

When love grows
sky explodes
rainbow and fire

When you leave
sorrow comes
I know we always have to go

When love grows
no one really leaves
lovers never leave each other

As I know
that’s all about

When love grows
thunder rolls
thunder and lightning

When you leave
nothing’s left
I know we always have to go

When love grows
no one really leaves
lovers never leave each other

As I know
that’s all about
all about – love

When love grows
sky explodes
rainbow and fire

Thunder and lightning

Fire and rainbow

5 Vampire

My blood stops running through my veins
My heart stops beating there’s just pain
You’re a phantom in the dark
Dream destroyer killer of hearts

You throw your web across my life
hold me back whenever I try
to stand up to these shadows in the dark
to fight cold moonlight without stars

Chorus
You’re a vampire
Vampire
You play with the ashes of my hope
You play with the ashes of my soul

The walls around me seem so high
This bird is bleeding and can’t fly
Maybe this is just spilled wine
It’s not and you’ll be with me till I die

Chorus

6 Tonight

She left without a trace
You had no clue
She needed more space
Left a letter for you

Her knife’s still in your chest
She left it there for you
Memories still in your head
She left them all to you

Chorus
Hey forget your broken heart
Hey forget what’s in the past
Don’t ask why it didn’t last tonight
Please don’t ask why it didn’t last tonight

This ghost’s still in the house
sits between me and you
This knife can’t take it out
it’s stuck with you

Can’t win it’s not my fight
You know it’s up to you
So hey come back to light
I’m here for you

Chorus

7 Illusion

You only stare
when she walks through the room
She doesn’t care
when your focus zooms

She’s playing with you
You don’t even care
You’re just a fool
Don’t know how you got there

Chorus
It’s an illusion
She’s not what she seems
All your conclusions
are nothing but fantasy and dreams

She’s out of your league
Don’t raise your hope
Her smile isn’t real
You couldn’t cope

She’s a goddess to you
You don’t see how she lies
and what she will do
is gonna be a surprise

Chorus

8 Back

The days were dark and cold
Many things in life untold
The sky was full of clouds
The house a house of fear and doubts

As blind as you can be
Feelings under lock and key
Stupid things that you can do
can never kill what’s good and true

Chorus
The rain is pouring the clouds are almost black
Against all odds we’re standing here we’re back
The rain is pouring the clouds are almost black
Against all odds we’re standing here we’re back

Dear friends please let us be
in peace und harmony
The world’s crazy we were too
what really matters to me is you

Chorus

9  Falling

I’m flying high above the ground
but some dark force likes to shoot me down
A stroke of luck is all I need
but I’m always losing speed


I’m going right I’m going left
One step forward two steps back
I see the light and see the dark
I love to love and tear it apart


Chorus
I’m going up and down
My feet no longer on the ground
I’m spinning round and round
I know all kinds of slowly

falling down


I like to walk on ice with cracks
and do still wonder why I crash
I drink to much and talk to fast
and surely regret stuff in the past


I wanna help and make it right
but in the end it doesn’t seem so bright
There might be something wrong with me
The question is to be or just to be

Chorus

But when the sun comes out we smile
and know that life is one of a kind
Cause even if we stumble and fall
we know it doesn’t matter at all

Chorus

10 Be

I don’t know why
love should die
when time goes by
Why don’t we try anymore

Does it get so outdated
Is it so complicated
to cherish what’s grown
and survived all rain and snow

Chorus
Be my love of a lifetime
Be part of my lifeline
Be the chance of a lifetime
Be the vein of my lifeline

I don’t know why
people rely
on things to go wrong
I know love can be strong

Can’t two hearts stay together
and why shouldn’t they do so forever
Can’t two souls belong together
and why shouldn’t they belong forever

Chorus

11 Silent Song

I heard someone whispering
in the woods in a strange sunspot
A voice so soft so heart breaking
like an angel crooning for her God

Someone so small and fragile
like an elf in a fairy tale
Her hair gleamed in the sunlight
She seemed to be miles away

Chorus
This is my silent song
My love is long gone
This is my silent song
My wings are long gone

She looked at me in surprise
Her dark eyes gave me a fright
Unbearable sadness in her eyes
She disappeared in the sunlight

Chorus

12 Blue

dedicated to my dad who died in 2009

You’re not here anymore
Life closed a door
Now you are some place else
No one can really tell

The sky is so blue
Your eyes were too
Now you don’t see me
You’re only in my dream

Chorus
Wherever you are
I hope it’s not that far
and the sky is blue
and your eyes are again too

Since you’ve been gone
life went on and on
Summer came and went away
I wished you could have stayed

Chorus

Well God may need some friends
So till we meet again
I hope you are all right
See you sometime

Chorus

13 Sonnet 116, William Shakespeare

Let me not
to the marriage of true minds
admit impediments
Love is not love
which alters
when it alteration finds
Or bends
with the remover to remove:

O no! It’s an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It’s the star to every wandering bark
Whose worth’s unknown although his height be taken

Love’s not Time’s fool
though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending
sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not
with his brief hours and weeks
But bears it out
even to the edge of doom

If this be error and upon me proved  
I never writ nor no man ever loved
