Hear from me

Stay out of sight
Wonder if I should try
To reach out, touch the sky
Need to fly
I fought so hard for a cause that's not mine
Now I feel maybe I wasted time
I'll let the days pass by
I'll stare into the sky
Just let the storm clouds grow
I think I'll skip the show
Don't expect to hear from me
Through the clouds I see love shine
I just need a bit more time
Don't expect to hear from me
From the moment that you had your eyes on me
I knew you would try to put a spell on me
From the get-go was not granted I could give the things you wanted
I'm fed up with lame excuses don't know what for I could use this
You must be misunderstanding, this is not how things are ending
I will take this in my own hands we will see then where the ball lands
I'll watch the sun go round
I think I'll stand my ground
This ship is going down
But I won't be around
Don't expect to hear from me
Through the clouds I see love shine
I just need a bit more time
Don't expect to hear from me

Shelter

Cold winter morning
In 1983
Dream of the future
The people we could be
Or maybe mum and dad
Let us watch tv
Sun slowly rising
World is standing still
Music and laughter
Keep the chill at bay
Future tribulations
Are a million miles away
Inviting friends for tea,
Singing songs from the home country
In the language we never learned
While the fire slowly burned
Rain pouring down
In 1984
Searching for shelter
Beside the fancy store
Waiting for the train
To the other side of town
Man with the stony face
Mutters something of disgrace
To the woman with the tray
Who wishes us a good day
While removing the marquee
That kept the rain away
And the words you said to me
Still ringing in my head
Were as clear as they could be
learnt by heart what you had said
Be careful what you say
Or which bridges you choose to burn
Some things aren't what they seem
Some chances might not return

Don't know how we got here
And will it stay this way
Got to keep on moving every day
Eyes are wide and open
In the light of day
Prepared for anything that comes or way
And what am I supposed to see here?
Where am I supposed to be?
Is this real or just imaginary?
Or maybe somewhere in-between?
Halfway through the journey
Some questions occured to me
Like how did I get here and
Is this where I'm ment to be?
Is this a sign of the times
Or just my mind playing tricks on me
Am I wrong or right or somewhere in between?
And what am I supposed to see here?
Where am I supposed to be?
Is this real or just imaginary?
Or maybe somewhere in between?

Marooned

endless nights
and long summer days
watching the clouds fly
in the endless blue sky
year after year
day after day
time goes by slowly
leaves in the wind
mist in the trees
summer moved on
river runs slow
moving the shores
time goes by slowly
carried away
wave after wave
washed up on the sand
sun sinking slow
on the horizon
holding your hand
time goes by slowly

Ashes To Ashes
05:29
|

I still hear
from far away
your voice, calling me
An echo of fallen times
To disappear
Like lines in the sand,
or leaves on a tree
If we could talk
we could reveal
And not try to hide
The things we conceal
If we could share
In the language that we never learned
The stories we never told
Could we sleep safe and sound?

Inside
06:03

I've watched the outside for so long
Don't want to hear what's going on
And all the time we have been here we slowly got consumed by fear
Watch the news, listen what the experts say
Try to keep it inside for another day
Waiting for this story to come to an end
Reaching for the phone to call up a friend, cause
This has been a long and crazy year (let's stay inside)
All this time we have been staying here, I don't feel right
It seems the world is closing in
I can't remember where I've been
Waiting as another day goes by
Days and weeks and months just seem to fly
Watch the news, listen what the experts say
Try to keep it inside for another day
Waiting for this story to come to an end
Reaching for the phone to call up a friend, cause
This has been a long and crazy year (let's stay inside)
All this time we have been staying here, I don't feel right
