| Time Endless summers Long long days that never end Dusty pavements Straight ahead they never bend What a childhood Eating ice-cream having fun Moving slowly Like the earth around the sun You grew older Every day you go to school Count the hours Until the weekend like a fool Once you loitered Nowadays you seem to run Moving faster Like the earth around the sun It won’t help to wear some watches Or fill glasses up with sand You can try to catch some water It will slip out of your hand Time is never the same, Days are longer when you sit on a flame Time is never the same, When you fly Moments die You are old now The road is long and the steps are high Cancer’s growing You are waiting for the time your time has come What a lifetime You were speeding up and slowing down Shops are closing Just when you’ve got it made to reach downtown It won’t help to wear some watches Or fill glasses up with sand You can try to catch some water It will slip out of your hand Time is never the same, Days are longer when you sit on a flame Time is never the same, When you fly Moments die Many songs were sung and lot’s of stories told In classic melodies and even rocks were rolled Sometimes it’s the words but mostly it’s a tune Stabbin’ in your heart just like the moon in June There are some weird guys, talking about style And how to hold a stick playing pattern from the nile Others blow the flute give rhythm with their feet Make people dance out there on the street Fill the memories of long lost love Build a bridge of dreams and good moments Right into your heart Take your DeeDeeDip back home You can take it it’s for free It’s in this song A DeeDeeDip’s so small It fits in every heart You will find it there When you need it in the dark Old friend Marc he’s playin’ guitar in many bands Sometimes he’s got the blues and says it makes no sence I say I’ve heard you playin’ and I saw some folks cry You bring back the hope and feelings that have died Fill the memories of long lost love Build a bridge of dreams and good moments Right into the heart Take your DeeDeeDip back home You can take it it’s for free It’s in this song A DeeDeeDip’s so small It fits in every heart You will find it there When you need it in the dark Shadows You and I together Dancing through the night I feel like a sailor You look like a bride Sunset for a painter Hotter than a flame The storm is getting closer Calling out my name You and I together Standing in the rain Our bodies steaming Water, sweat and pain Mist around the candles Smell of cheap red wine An endless summer’s ending I’ve I walk down the line Ain’t that a joke How the shadows overtake you Under the light When you’re stumbling down the road Ain’t that a joke How I never thought to leave you Into the night Stumbling down the road Life is like an ocean I am like a boat Sometimes feel like flying Some days I’m a load Rivers feed the ocean Love is feeding me But love is hard to find On a boat out on the sea Ain’t that a joke How the shadows overtake you Under the light When you’re stumbling down the road Ain’t that a joke How I never thought to leave you Into the night Stumbling down the road |
Tonight The River’s Tame
All around it’s dark Just a tiny spark Like light inside a home I’d like to call my own Water’s foamin’ by Can’t cross to your side I’m drowning while I try Call your name and Die Tonight the river’s tame My longing’s not in vain But hear the sound of rain The flood will rise again See my shaking head Watch my trembling leg The things you don’t remind You never can regret Tonight the river’s tame My longing’s not in vain But hear the sound of rain The flood will come again The fear inside your face Where I look for grace And tears they fall like rain The flood will rise again Don’t you wonder Don’t you weep And darling don’t you cry Please believe me Don’t you leave me Our love won’t die Tonight the river’s tame My longing’s not in vain But hear the sound of rain The flood will come again The Congo at night Ohohoho, saw children playing Ohohoho, right by my side Ohohoho, the birds were singing Ohohoho, the Congo at night We proved the water Up north near Bumba Fought with the flies On the river Congo Then went down To cross the equator Ate fish in Mbandaka To the sound of a bongo Ohohoho, a band was playing Ohohoho, right by my side Ohohoho, people were singing Ohohoho, the Congo at night We took the truck To get to Kinshasa It broke down We changed wheels in the sun The night came down We reached the hotel Still thought that this job Is not work but fun I could hear voices calling A sound like thunder outside Then the glass of my window was breaking There’s no way to go, nowhere to hide Ohohoho, people are falling Ohohoho, right by my side Ohohoho, shotguns are calling Ohohoho, the Congo at night Next morning The smoke was still crawling Out on the street Dead bodies in order We packed our stuff Tried to find an airplane To leave the Congo Make it over the border Ohohoho, people are falling Ohohoho, right by my side Ohohoho, shotguns are calling Ohohoho, the Congo at night I could hear voices calling A sound like thunder outside Everything, the whole airport was shaking There’s no way to go, nowhere to hide Some of the people they raise up their voices They can’t stand the fight The ghost of Lumumba, still chased by Mobutu got no way to go, nowhere to hide Ohohoho, it’s all for the money Ohohoho, for gold they fight Ohohoho, for bloody diamonds Ohohoho, down in the Congo at night Under the same stars The day you left me you did it straight without warning when I came back home a small note lay in the dawning. tired cold smoke hanging in the air mixed with a memory of your sweet smell it’s the only trail making sure the fact you’ve been here You left no numbers not any adress to write to you send no letters no „hello how are you’s” to cling to time passed away no a single place not a single day I didn’t search for you You left all behind and went to a place I can’t find you But I’m no longer frightened of being alone I know you with me although you’re still gone I rise my head and the night heals the scars as long as I know you under the same stars I know you’re looking into the same sky as long as we’re living under the same stars Now your memory’s fading like the colour of some old drawing when the moon is a raising some old memories they are calling thinking of the nights lying side by side hold each other tight hoping it lasts one life but dawning ends the night never ending fight we have to stand But I’m no longer frightened of being alone I know you with me although you’re still gone I rise my head and the night heals the scars as long as I know you under the same stars I know you’re looking into the same sky as long as we’re living under the same stars Sometimes I wish we’d look up the same time and our looks melt in the sky some shooting star marks the line of our lives reflecting the tears in our eyes I’m no longer frightened of being alone I know you with me although you’re still gone I rise my head and the night heals the scars as long as I know you under the same stars I know you’re looking into the same sky as long as we’re living under the same stars Home |
