Birds of Passage

Feel the winds on the ridges
The whirls in the meadows
The ice-capped reed announce
That the air is colder
I feel the strength of my heart
Quiver inside me
Buy I have no cure
For the laughter in your eyes
The wind will carry me away
The wind that would have killed us both
It saves my life
Your wisk I'll keep in mind
And if it won't come true
Our dream will dream

The key to your box, it is out of my reach
I've been searching for it so long
If I could live in the open sea
I would surely have found the one
And I'd open the lid, Look in , See stones
Here by the shore, it's so quiet
And no pebbles for miles around
It's getting dark, and I wonder
If I ever will find my love
So please open the lid and bring the stones
'cause the answer must come, from you , alone
See I need some very few of
You blue pebbles
No real love; no aquamarines
Equitime points
Should I stay or go?
Tell me why do you hide inside the deep
With your jewellery box, the stones, the key
In the wave-clutter I can see your hair
Why won't you come near?
Why don't you dare?
See I need some very few of
You blue pebbles
No real love; no aquamarines
Equitime points
Should I stay or go?
I need a truehearted lover
Mermaid, bring me those stones

No kindness
When there's lack of dignity
Politeness
Was to join simplicity
No caution
Without pure sincerity
Compliance
Has to join with bravery
No mildness
Without some solidity
No power
Without simple honesty
No courage
Without justice joined within
Good nature
And discretion makes a team

Send me a message, Escort me through the passage
Into the dark side of life, Let me slip into the eternity
I sense a light, a cave so bright
Oh, what a trauma, Release me from this coma
Why won't they let me escape?
Drip, drip, intravenous emergency, And so in vain
The heal the stains and wounds on my body
So torn apart and bloody, I do not wish to return
I don't wanna be one of the crippled ones
Do hear my prayer, Don't fade away
Send me a message, Escort me through the passage
All I need is a sign
Skip over this emergency
Forgive my sins, don't force me in
To live like a phantom
Still, this is nothing random
I'm meant to suffer and wait
But one minute more and it might be too late
So give a sign, I'm losing time

You're conquered and your blood is pounding
In your ears
But you're doing fine
Find the broken pieces and then start anew
You make yourself believe that you did
Something right
You're denying your only wish
By forgetting your promises
Once and for all
And for ever more
If you finally reach your aim
You will never be able to
Gain back the time you lost between
You're trying hard to reconstruct your image
And you're doing right
But I think that you will always stay like this
When you put your idle shoulder to the wheel

Have I ever told you what I feel?
About what's to come and why we live
Ever since I was a little kid
I've been cautious and I've sealed my lips
But then I found this the book inside a drawer
A girl treasuring thoughts
Here's what I wrote:
That one day, we will fly
Together in a baron's balloon
Straight up into the air
And when er have arrived
We'll take a little picnic on the moon
And watch the earth below
I'm lost again
Needing a friend
Cause I'm so alone
For the last time the sun is rising
I have a feeling
It's time we talk about it
Cause I'm still on my own
I'm so alone
