Lady Savigny 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Lady Savigny There is an old lady, living in the streets, right in front of my place, She sits and waits, in the same old spot, every day. And in the evening, she collects her things and she's hiding away, To find some rest, to get some sleep. And while I'm busy to make a living in this crazy world, I remember her, wonder what her story might be, Something about addiction or abuse or just bad luck, It doesn't matter anymore. And every time I'm passing by, I try to find some words, Just to be kind and ease her mind. But usually she keeps quiet, she looks right through me, But sometimes, yes sometimes, she gives me her smile. One morning, she wasn't there, she was gone, No sign of living, no sign of her, she was gone. And I hope, she is in a better place, maybe she went home, Where someone at least anyone, will care. And every time I was passing by, I tried to find some words, Just to be kind and ease her mind. But usually she kept quiet, she looked right through me, But sometimes, yes sometimes, she gave me her smile.

Way Too Much 03:16
lyrics

Way Too Much A bottle of whiskey and a bottle of wine, I drink till I'm sober and I feel just fine. I drink in the morning and I'm drinking at night I talk to myself it will be all right, But I know, Baby, yes I know, this is way too much! I'm losing my children, my home and my wife, I'm losing my car and the license to drive. I'm losing my grip and I'm losing my aim, There's no one else but me to blame. And I know, Baby, yes I know, this is way too much! What can I do if it always feels like rain, rain, rain, rain? What can I do, if all efforts go in vain, vain, vain, vain ? What can I do about it? I finally made it to the next AA, I was just curious what they had to say, After a while I couldn't take it no more, My heart got heavy, my soul became sore. And You know, Baby, yes You know, this is way too much! What can I do if it always feels like rain, rain, rain, rain? What can I do, if all efforts go in vain, vain, vain, vain ? What can I do about it?

Take It Easy 03:23
lyrics

Take It Easy Take it easy, don't try so hard, Take it easy, try to be smart, The wheels keep spinning round and round, Hang on to the peaceful sound, Of joy, deep in your heart. Sometimes I will miss You, Sometimes You'll feel alone, But there ain't no looking back, We'll follow just the only track, in to the light. Take it easy, don't try so hard, Take it easy, try to be smart, The wheels keep spinning round and round, Hang on to the peaceful sound, Of love, deep in your heart. While Darkness seams to threaten us, The skies are black instead of blue, We're still aware of all the things, That led us safe under the wings of light. We hope and fight for any kind, of reason, of an open mind, of kindness and prosperity, for everyone under the tree of life. Take it easy, don't try so hard, Take it easy try to be smart, The wheels keep spinning round and round, Hang on to the peaceful sound, Of joy, deep in your heart. Take it easy, don't try so hard, Take it easy, try to be smart, The wheels keep spinning round and round, Hang on to the peaceful sound, Of love, deep in your heart.

Comfort Zone 03:12
lyrics

Comfort Zone Step out of your comfort zone, Cut the wire to your phone, Hit the road and try to reconnect! Use the power of the force, Use your brain, any resource, And earn your self a little self-respect ! We are on the edge, We are on the verge, To fade away. I know, you are upset, Forlorn and lost I bet, Too much, of it all, Out of touch, you made your call. We are just what we are, You go and start your car, You want to get away, Bur there ain't no place to stay. Step out of your comfort zone, Cut the wire to your phone, Hit the road and try to reconnect! Use the power of the force, Use your brain, any resource, And earn your self a little self-respect ! We are on the edge, We are on the verge, To fade away. You just ignore the news, You say it ain't no use, In messing with your head, Your sick and down and fed. We are just what we are, You go and drive your car, You want to get away, Bur there ain't no place to stay. Step out of your comfort zone, Cut the wire to your phone, Hit the road and try to reconnect! Use the power of the force, Use your brain, any resource, And earn your self a little self-respect ! We are on the edge, We are on the verge, To fade away.

Your Stories 03:27
lyrics

Your Stories I don't wanna hear your Stories, I heard them all before. I don't wanna hear your Stories, Don't wanna hear them no more. There was a time when I would listen, There was a time when you would tell, But now something must have happened, It's like a djinn had cast a spell, a spell on us. I don't wanna hear your Stories, I heard them all before. I don't wanna hear your Stories, Don't wanna hear them no more. You are the smartest, fairest being, Never met someone like you before, We spent so many years together, Now I can't hang in here no more. I want to ask you for forgiveness, But no words will leave my mouth, I feel so desperate and helpless, Everything went south. I don't wanna hear your Stories, I heard them all before. I don't wanna hear your Stories, Don't wanna hear them no more.

One Life 03:40
lyrics
buy track
One Life We're always looking for a better place, We're always looking for a greater time, We're always do have something big to chase, At least we do so while in our prime. We're always short of money and of rest, We're always need some help and good advise, We're always do compete just with the best, Until we have to pay the hidden prize. There ain't no better place, there ain't no better time, Just one life on this unique earth, It's beautiful, it's marvelous but sometimes it's so hard, And every day we try to make it worth, To make it worth. We understand, that we are often wrong, We sense and know there is a better way, We need to be more careful while we're strong, before we face the last and final day. There ain't no better place, there ain't no better time, Just one life on this unique earth, It's beautiful, it's marvelous but sometimes it's so hard, And every day we try to make it worth, To make it worth.

Magic of the Moment 04:05
lyrics

Magic of the Moment Do you feel the magic of the moment, While you're standing on this sacred ground, Do you hear the whisper of the eons, Do you hear their universal sound? Once you do belief, It's a great relief, To be a part of a bigger scheme, Not lost and left alone, feeling just at home, Dreaming just a never ending dream. We started small in many different places, exploring all the seas and all the lands, While many thousand years kept our traces, We're still not sure where this journey ends. Once you do belief, It's a great relief, To be a part of a bigger scheme, Not lost and left alone, feeling just at home, Dreaming just a never ending dream. We have so many names, fit into different frames, We're reaching for the stars and far behind, A miracle to be, for all eternity, Life is precious just of any kind, of any kind. Do you feel the magic of the moment, While you're standing on this sacred ground, Do you hear the whisper of the eons, Do you hear their universal sound?

Far or Close 03:21
lyrics

Far or Close Meet me where the streets don't have an end, Meet me where you last time saw a friend, Is it far away? Is it close to you? Is it just nearby out of the blue? Is it in your soul why you feel so sad? Is it just your life? Is it in your head? Meet me where the rivers running dry, Meet me where the sun burns down the sky, Is it far away? Is it close to you? Is it just nearby out of the blue? Is it in your mind why you cannot rest? Is it just your fear or a tricky quest? Time will heal the wounds, Love will set you free, If you look for happiness Perspective is the key, to it all. Meet me at the line of day and night, Meet me where the stars are shining bright, Is it far away? Is it close to you? Is it just nearby out of the blue? Is it in your heart? Is it beating fast? Is it just a dream? Will it gonna last?

Tonight 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Tonight If I could see you tonight, If I could hold you tight, Then I would never let you go. I would embrace your charm, I would protect you from harm, And I would never ever let you go. I had to leave just like a thief, Even if I didn't steel a thing, Thought it would be smart, To preserve your heart, from getting hurt. But now it feels so wrong, It took me far too long, to understand. If I could see you tonight, If I could hold you tight, Then I would never let you go. I would embrace your charm, I would protect you from harm, And I would never let you go. If you ask me now, I would show you how, I would tell you that I really care, To be back with you, If you only knew, For years I’m drowning in despair. If I could see you tonight, If I could hold you tight, Then I would never let you go. I would embrace your charm, I would protect you from harm, And I would never let you go.

Don't Complain 02:50
lyrics

Don’t Complain I don't like to complain, It always drives me insane. I don't like to be mad, It’s all my fault, my bad, my bad. Sometimes it's a rainy afternoon, Sometimes it's the dark side of the moon, Sometimes it's the simple question "Why?", That makes me cry, makes me cry. Sometimes it's about the crazy times, Sometimes just the nickels and the dimes, Sometimes it's the way you wear your hat, In my bed, my bed. I don't like to complain, It always drives me insane. I don't like to be mad, It’s all my fault, my bad, my bad. Sometimes it's the roses and the wine, Sometimes it’s a poorly hidden sign, Sometimes it's the way you look at me, When I'm just proposing on my knee, my knee. There are a billion reasons and a little more, The changing of the seasons, the waves upon the shore, I swear to try much harder, to be a better man, The only question that remains is „exactly when“ ? I don't like to complain, It always drives me insane. I don't like to be mad, It’s all my fault, my bad, My bad.

Forever Strong 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Forever Strong So you wanna tell me, That you need a gun, In order to protect us from harm, Sorry to refuse you, But this ain't no fun, Any heart is beating fast and warm. I don't wanna kill them, I don't wanna fight, Cause in the end the winner is standing small, Too many burning places, Too many taken life's, Too many tortured, haunting souls at all. But you reply there ain't no other way, It's us or them, we're leaving or we stay, forever strong. History won't teach us, About humankind, We make the same mistakes until we break, Is there a solution? Where's the genius mind? To change us till we're finally awake. I don't wanna kill them, I don't wanna fight, Cause in the end the winner is standing small, Too many burning places, Too many taken life's, Too many tortured, haunting souls at all. But you reply there ain't no other way, It's us or them, we're leaving or we stay, forever strong.
