Leah's dream

The Mime Artist

Angel of the water

Faith passing out on the stages, shocks run down my spine   
Your bruises are inside out, my darling                    
just for once in my life I wanted to believe my eyes        

She locks up all her edges, staying inside her winter               
and I got tired of waiting so I try to feel my skin      
searching for reflections in the snowflakes in my hand           

Never ask for more
for the places you can’t recall
a broken light is falling in you        

On the threshold of revelation I meet up with you
where sorrows are burning brightly, struck by lightning
You’re wild as the wind again I can’t believe my eyes
I really can’t believe my eyes

Street preachers on every corner – blessed are the meek
Lovers hiding along the borders – hallowed are the weak
living on the features they ignite
wide-awake and seamless in the night

Always ask for more
for the face you cannot recall
a broken light is falling around us

Wide-awake and seamless in the night
Leaving what you never had behind


Wide-awake and seamless in the night

Angel Of The Water (acoustic version)

Staring At The White Canvas

Goodbye

Inventors

EVERY SECOND (IS A SEPARATION)

In the arms of a stranger
in the dust of a word
in the beat of a heart
beat of a heart
I’m invisible
’cause I have closed my eyes

Stop holding on now
your arms fall apart
the earth is spinning round
spinning around
and every second of your life 
is a separation

Every second is a separation

You can tell from the seasons
from the white of my eyes
from a breath of a sky
breath of a sky
don’t try to understand

In the arms of a friend
in the beat of a heart
in the dust of a word
and the silence of stars
I’m invisible

Yours sincerely,
me.

Every Second (Is A Separation)

SNOW GLOBE

I took a step forward 
and the silence 
ate itself

When you get what you want you don't want it
anymore

Wake me up if something 
beautiful appears outside 
our window pane

I was looking for a place to stay
and I had some flowers 
to give away
It was the middle of December
in a snow globe

Some day I'll learn how to breathe
but for now I'm satisfied to 
dream the answers 
'til the afternoon arrives

I turn my back on you again
it's mostly all I can see
of myself
There are some writings on the wall here
and I am icebound in time
forever young

People passing by outside
the world is moving 'round me 
like I was the sun

THE FIFTH OWNER OF THIS CAR


You search among the radio stations with a shivering hand
Looking for a voice that knows your name
A spark of recognition in your tired eyes
before you knew what I was just about to say to you

Meet me in the morning, yes I’ll see you there
We’ll be gone without a hope to spare
Early in the morning, one of us waiting for the other one
careful not to drop the things we found in here
in the yawning dawn, it’s a dawning day

Driving in the night and you are slumbering
shut me out and I’m exposed to my own light
The road, the wheels and me: an ancient constellation/consolation
even when you are awake
I’m a rolling stone, impossible to get to know
 They say that my life was all a show
That it was just for a laugh and that I should know

We sit down by the diner’s window and the breadknife break our sentences
Happy meals and little plastic toys
A child is bleeding for the first time, surprised it wasn’t blue
One of so many things that no one thinks about to tell you before
the one you love walks out the door

Filling up some gasoline and I recall my brother’s motorbike
and the homeless dog we got to know
You slam in the door and my chain of thoughts is interrupted
Gone forever, all the things I couldn’t share anyway
something wry is in the way

The shadows around falling terribly strange here
From the dust in the ground in sunlight we inhale oblivion

Meet me in the morning like so many times before
Empty handed, not a wish I swear
Our letters turned to rust from every word I couldn’t trust
We’re still be waiting for each others’ love
when the morning comes, and we should know where we belong

A punch in the face can make you grow
and now I know where I have to go

You search among the radio stations with a shivering hand
Looking for a voice you know

YELLOW GARDEN

Little springtime, let me cover up for you
and take a long vacation far away
Without thinking, without thinking my heart stopped
like a legend on a lover’s leap would change her mind and put the kettle on

I was sitting in the corner of the day
in a little yellow garden
I saw you

You’ve always been too perfect to be good
careful for ungrounded reasons
Things we never say will steer the way
you saw the hesitation wounds but still
never knew me

Little springtime, let me cover up for you
I saw them through the thin shopwindow glass
Without thinking, without thinking my tears fell
and tenderness was such a heartless way
of not saying goodbye, of staying dry
Yes, I saw them

Blue june I’m calling you this way, now
Blue june, how could it be this way?
Blue june you’re calling me to stay

Blue June

I wake up and know exactly what song I wanna listen to
not even a hint of a clue to what I’m supposed to do
Blue, generous June, take me home
There’s a million ways I got to choose on my own

It doesn’t matter if your childhood is made up or for real
as long as you remember it well
Blue, generous June, lend me your ears
and bring me back those long since forgotten tears

I was waiting for my days to end
and for the moments to begin again
Hiding the pictures of all that I cared for
Would you take me home

For those who can defend themselves there are no threats
but I never could so help me to my own best
Blue, righteous June - give me a hand
and please say you always kept a room for me inside

I was waiting for my days to end
for all the moments to begin again
Framing the shadows of all I relied on
Would you take me home

It’s closer now, it’s starting to appear in my dreams
somewhere, somehow some things get rearranged
Blue, carefree June - take me away
I’ve got a million things I wanna do in my own way

I was waiting for my days to end
and for the moments to begin again
Hiding the pictures of all that I cared for

Would you take me home?           
Would you take me home, 
home, 
home…

SCHIBBOLETH

When I don’t want to see
then what do I see?

Cut me open
cut me open
cut me free

Your voice is broken air
it’s nakedness itself
and I’ve closed my eyes in vain
trying to kill the pain

As if there was another time
in another life 
with another heart’s crying

As if there was another time
in another world
with another heart’s beating

If waiting never ends
then why do I wait?

Cut me open
cut me open 
cut me free

At the revealing break of day
where noone else would even speak my name
You taught me how to pray
and now I’m on my knees

As if there was another time
in another world 
with another heart’s crying 

As if there was another time
in another life 
with another heart’s crying
