Shell Song

Come on take a walk with me Take my hand we move in peace Silent footprints, side by side Watch the ocean and the tide
Stepping backwards
Tracing time
Quiet walking side by side
As we lean into the breeze Pulling back, swimming upstream
In the echoes of the shells Mermaids hissing deep sea tales Of those gone missing
Torn up sails
Blow a kiss and wish them well
Mournful cry of the whales Hear the story that they tell It is heartache, don’t deny They are singing our goodbye
In the echoes of the shells Mermaids hissing deep sea tales Of those gone missing
Torn up sails
Make a wish and wish me well

What if the fire was fake
What if there’s nothing at stake
And all the vows that we take
Are just words that shouldn’t have been said
What if the fire was fake
And all the words that we say And all the vows that we take Are easy to break
Cause there’s nothing at stake
We fell asleep in a fairytale sleep
Didn’t wake for a hundred years
We said the words, the words weren’t real Now we woke up
Like the ashes that glow Fighting the night
Shed a last light
Before they die
Like fireflies Leading us astray We lost our way In the dark
What if the fire was fake
What if there’s nothing at stake
And all the vows that we take
Are just words that shouldn’t have been said What if the fire was fake
We’re loosing grip
We’re loosing speed
We swap our dreams for a little peace Trading them in for a spark of ease Trading our precious skin
For beads
What if the fire was fake
And all the words that we say And all the vows that we take Are easy to break
Cause there’s nothing at stake
What if the fire was fake
What if there’s nothing at stake
And all the vows that we take
Are just words that shouldn’t have been said What if the fire was fake

All Gone
04:17
|
|||
On a clear and cold cold night
We were out watching the harbor lights
When you said you wish you could turn back the time And make it right
So I said let’s try and start it all anew
And we clumsily kissed and then did like lovers do Just a few steps over the line
That parted your world from mine
So sad to leave it all behind
All gone, all gone Nothing more to lose
But old memories
Of half forgotten dreams All gone, all gone
You’ve got nothing to lose but old memories And a bottle full of blues
(All gone)
You lost a lover, I lost a friend You lost hope
I lost defense
We lost the illusion
Out of the blue
You lost me and I lost you
We can’t undo the past
Just let go, move on Nothing more to lose
But old memories
Of half forgotten dreams All gone, all gone
We’ve got nothing to lose but old memories And a bottle full of blues
(All gone)
All gone all gone
Nothing more to lose
But old memories
Of half forgotten dreams
All gone, all gone
You’ve got nothing to lose but old memories And a bottle full of blues
All gone, all gone All gone, all gone

Black Dog

Black dog howling at the moon
Black dog no one there to comfort you Black dog you are lonesome just like me
Black dog why so restless why so sad
Black dog are the bad dreams making you mad Black dog won’t you keep me company?
Ahuuu, Ahuuu, Ahuuu Black dog
Black dog luring in the shade
Black dog with the blues on parade Black dog you are lonely just like me
Ahuuu, Ahuuu, Ahuuu Black dog

Silent War
03:54
|

As I look back
Through the broken windows of the past Through broken glass
Through shattered dreams not build to last
Just pick up the phone
Won’t you open up that door
End your silent war
Tell me you’re not hurting anymore
Just pick up the phone
Won’t you open up that door
End your silent war
Tell me you’re not hurting anymore
(Pride or pain, it’s all in vain)
The other day
Across the street you looked the other way Wearing your pain like a medal
But it’s all in vain
Just pick up the phone
Won’t you open up that door
End your silent war
Tell me you’re not hurting anymore
Just pick up the phone
Won’t you open up that door
End your silent war
Tell me you’re not hurting anymore
As I look back
Through the broken windows of the past Through broken glass
Through shattered dreams not build to last
I didn’t need a saviour now I know
I didn’t need a wall around my soul
I didn’t need someone to take control Ain’t gonna reap just what you sow
Just pick up the phone
Won’t you open up that door
End your silent war
Tell me you’re not hurting anymore
(Pride or pain, it’s all in vain)

The Crack

Choir:
So glad I met ya Happy together So glad I met ya Maybe forever
Uuuh, the clouds don’t seem to be what they used to be Uuh, they look like giant castles in a candy sky
Uuh, the world don’t seem to be what it used to be Since there is you and me
Uuuh I never thought that I’d find peace Uuh, I never thought I could release Uuh the tension and anxiety
But now I found relief
And all shade is now bright And all dark is full of light
It’s like the crack is wider now It’s like the crack is wider now
Uuuh, how different the people on the street Uuuh, they seem so friendly as they walk on by Uuuh, and my face don’t seem what it used to be Cause I can’t hide a smile
Uuuh, baby when I see your eyes
Uuuh, so warm and blue and full of smiles Uuuh, I’m just a better human than I used to be Cause now there’s you and me
And all shade is now bright
And all dark is full of light
It’s like the crack is wider now It’s like the crack is wider now And all shade is now bright
And all dark is full of light
It’s like the crack is wider now It’s like the crack is wider now It’s like the crack is wider now It’s like the crack is wider now....

Barbed Wire
04:45
|
|||
I left my father, I left my ma behind I left my woman
Hear her crying every night
That night they were coming for me I was lucky I escaped
Eight days on a crowded boat
Eight days on the open sea
I sleep under trees
Sleep under the stars
Everyone I knew
Seems to be dead or behind bars
When I think of the old times Damascus before the war
I played the bass in a hardcore band Now it all seems so far
All through the barbed wire
Through the cold
Through the night and the wind and the rain I’m alone
All through the barbed wire
Through the cold
Through the pain and the wind and the rain I still feel hope
A place without fear
A single nights rest
A meal on the table
And a little warmth at best
My loved ones around me
A heart that doesn’t hurt
But all I got is my mother’s scarf And a handful of dirt
All through the barbed wire
Through the cold
Through the night and the wind and the rain I’m alone
All through the barbed wire
Through the cold
Through the night and the wind and the rain I still feel hope

The Countless Times
04:44
|
|||
When you lead, I won’t follow
When I walk, you turn the other way No direction we can agree on
And no place that we can stay
The countless times we parted
And the countless times we tried
And as often as we started
How many times, how many times
How many times do we have to say goodbye
When I talk, you won’t listen
When you speak my head is in the clouds How come I always want to be near you When all our ups have turned to downs
The countless times we parted
And the countless times we tried
And as often as we started
How many times, how many times
How many times do we have to say goodbye
