A bittersweet memory

Are you on this side or the other
Are you questioning your mind
Do you remember do you bother
Are you just following the signs
Why are you walking behind me
Why are you travelling the past
You keepon walking behind me
While the future’s in your grasp

Probably
Probably it'll feel like this pain you're used to.
Probably your dream will come true
Probably nightmares continue to happen
Probably you'll get through this day
Never underastimate what you know
Keep it hidden under your skin
Never think you crossed the line
Never listen to your inner voice
Never listen to me....
It's so close
It's so close

Moonshiner
I am a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
And I spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
And I go to some hollow
And set up my still
If whiskey don't kill me
Lord, I don't know what will
And I go to some barroom
To drink with my friends
Where the women they can't follow
To see what I spend
God bless them, pretty women
I wish they was mine
With breath as sweet as
The dew on the vine
Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
Two dollars when I'm hard up
Religion when I die
The whole world is a bottle
And life is but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
Irish/American traditional

A SWEET SONG
I wonder where you are now
The snow is gone and with it your face
I still don’t know how
The snow it is gone
Can you tell me what went wrong
Can you sing me a sweet song
Write the words, write the lines
Can you sing me a sweet song
Better make it a lullaby
Sweet as honey, never lie
Write the words, write the lines
Sweet as honey, a lullaby
a sweet song

UNANSWERED
I remember, when I was just a little kid
My father was walking far infront of me
Going so fast I couldn’t keep up with him
I got lost and even then I couldn’t see
What was going on in his mind
Is so far away from me
All the answers I’d hope to find
Wouldn’t find their way to me
The problem is still there Still asking the same things
Still don’t know what’s true or fair Answers don’t mean a thing
The problem is still there But I think it’s only fair
You have to solve your own And don’t leave anything
What is going on in his mind
It's so far away from me
All the answers I’d hope to find
Wouldn’t find their way to me

SNOWSONG (NOWHERE I SEE YOUR NAME)
I am whispering under water
And I hear you sailor’s daughter
I’ve been watching where the snow falls
I’ve been listening how the wind calls
Nowhere I see your name
Nowhere I hear your name
If you see me near the rainbow
If you see me when the sky snows
I am trying to catch the letters
I am trying to know what matters
Nowhere I see your name
Nowhere I hear your name

DESPERATE LAND
Slippin’ into the black again
Wonder where it all will end
The yellow colour of the grass
Why are you leaving such a mess
You leave your footprints in the sand
And wonder why there is no end to this deperate land
And it’s the different kind of view
The kind you thought you always knew
That points out what you have to do
Creepin’ out of your dark hole
Darkness pouring from your soul
And there’s something you should know
It shines white light and turns to gold
You leave your footprints in the sand
And wonder why there is no end to this deperate land
And it’s the different kind of view
The kind you thought you always knew
That points out what you have to do

THE WATER'S EDGE
Just before the first step I took today I tried to find the sun, but it wasn’t there
Just before I opened my eyes I tried to breath, but there was no air
I hold the straw in my hand that cuts in my fingers, some blood to share
The day has started without me, the dream goes on. I wasn’t there
I couldn’t share
I know where to get what I need
I know where to get what I want
It’s never been hard for me to do
It’s a lot like starting something new
You have to do it all over again
The purple heather, the grey mare
I have to learn to care
I know where to get what I need
I know where to get what I want
I know where to get what I need
I know where to get what I want
It’s never been hard for me to do

BACK WHERE I BELONG
I’m wandering throught the valley
and I think how time passes by
I’m strolling through the alley
and I know that it’s all a lie
The strangest thoughts come to my mind
Where do they all come from
The friends that I have left behind
I’m back where I belong
I walk along the riverside
The water is whispering, I hear it’s voice
I’m strolling through the countryside
The earth is shaking, it has no choice
The strangest thoughts come to my mind
Where do they all come from
The friends that I have left behind
I’m back where I belong

CLOUDS
I saw the stars a shining
The shadow on the floor
I saw the silver lining
Like I’ve never seen before
Hanging on to the clouds
Can’t get a hold
Hanging on to your doubts
Doing what your told
A little piece of me
Is in a state of shock
And it’s pleasing me
I’m not a steady rock
Hanging on to the clouds
Can’t get a hold
Hanging on to your doubts
Doing what your told
I can’t be crossing no line
I cannot take what is not mine
I can’t be losing my mind
I cannot leave you behind

GONNA TRY OUT LOVE
I see you lying in the sand
I should know better, than to take your hand
The sun has almost gone away
Boats on the horizon, fade to grey
Oh,oh,oh
Oh, the sleepless nights I’ve had
As it turned out, it wasn’t half that bad
All this love’s gone to my head
Let it happen, if it hasn’t happened, yet
Gonna try out love, this time
Gonna try, my love
Sleep tonight, hold me tight and I’ll be in your dreams tonight

MOODY
Slowly, I will wake up And see the day that lies before me
Lonesome as ever I’ll be
I will stay what lies behind me
No-one sees me
Will never hurt me
Never leave me
Never scar me
Deep down I feel so good
I dream away into paradise
Moody, show what I feel
I dream away into paradise
No-one sees me
Will never hurt me
Never leave me
Never scar me

Deep down I feel so good
I dream away into paradise
Moody, show what I feel
I dream away into paradise
No-one sees me
Will never hurt me
Never leave me
Never scar me

SPRINGSONG
A golden glow on the leaves
The live’s returning to the trees
The cold wind makes place
for warm, warm rays of gold
A new spring replaces
a time so dark and cold
It’s a brandnew spring
Makes you wanna sing
Sing with the birds
Bend with the trees
Haven’t you heard
It’s time to release

Not gonna wait
You give me the feeling I don’t belong here no more
Your eyes keep pushing me towards the backdoor
I fear there is someone out there waiting till I’m gone
I think I’ll have to tell him he has to hide ‘till I’m gone
‘Cause I’m not gonna wait ‘till you slam the door on me
Not gonna wait, no more
You’re getting angry when the pressure gets too much
You slam the door in my face
You just can’t stand me, you just can’t stand the touch
And I think, that is the case
Everybody knows, it’s what they want to hear
Everybody shows just about everything but their tears
Everybody listens but there is nothing they can hear

DUST & DRY LAND
I’m going back to my homeland
Nothing but dust and dry land
I’m going back to where the world ends
Out of sight out of mind
Gotta leave em behind
Going home to see my kin
It’s a long time since I’ve been
That’s how it goes, you lose track
Out of sight out of mind
Gotta leave em behind
For now there is no reason
The gift is heavensend
For now there is no reason
My home is dust and dry land
I’m going back to my homeland
Nothing but dust and dry land
For now there is no reason
The gift is heavensend
For now there is no reason
My home is dust and dry land
