My O lord
My O lord
The grace I can’t afford
Long distance
Long distance
Long distance I have to walk
Little son
Little son
Don’t blame where you have become
Water is high
Water is high
Water is high as the time go by
You can tell
You can tell
You can tell the fairy tale
My O lord
My O lord
The grace I can’t afford

Don't Ask Me Again
02:48
|

Sleep in the street
Wake up with fear
Don’t know where I am
The room is dark
Dark as my heart
I’ve not been writing for so long
You can tell
That I’m not feeling so well
So don’t ask me again
Making mistakes
Paying tribute
To the guys I don’t know
Learning to rock
Playing my chords
I can tell I’m me
I’m gonna stay
In this crazy place
So don’t ask me again
If lies are real
I would be healed
From being so ridiculously awake
Back to the street
I see you there
Planting a seed for me
I asked you why
You said never mind
Don’t ask me again

The Best Time
03:24
|

Little child, been exiled
For ten thousand miles
Corridor, nevermore
Lock the classroom door
All these years, disappear
Keep my souvenir
My Oh my, I’ll survive
The best time of my life
Morning ray , time to play
Have a busy day
Afternoon, gone too soon
My favourite cartoon
All these years, disappear
Keep my souvenir
My Oh my, I’ll survive
The best time of my life
When I was a child, I thought about my present
When I grew up, I dreamt about my future
When I get old, I’ll think about the past
Thinking of, thinking of
The best time of my life
All these years, disappear
Keep my souvenir
My Oh my, I’ll survive
The best time of my life
Tomorrow, so-and-so
I’ll be far too old
Yesterday, bloom of May
Forget my golden age

Sunrise And Garden
04:05
|
|||
I can feel the warmth of your hand
Do you remember the time we spent?
I can pick the flowers that you like
I wish you could bring me through the night
I see you, I feel you
I hear you, I need you
You are always here
Slavery is the only word I know
Take me to the story you have told
Nothing compares to your sky blue eyes
There is no way to say goodbye
Sunrise and garden
Ashes and ocean
You are always here
If you could ever walk again
If you could ever run again
If you could
If you could
Come back again
You never told me if we’d meet again
But I’ll think of you now and then
Dead flowers falling from the autumn trees
Sitting on the lawn with you and me
Our last dance, goodbye
Walk fast as you try
You are always here

Every day, every night
I've been looking for a little chance
Compromise and jealousy
Sometimes make my shoes so heavy
Was I born like this?
I fake a smile and have my cry inside
I close my eyes and have a prayer in my mind
Don't let the sun go down
Hold your last beam of light
Make your choice right now
Wake me up when you cry
The boat will sail away
I'll see you again someday
Tell me why , they said to me
You deserve more than what you can be
Simplify your lullaby
I don't understand a word you've sung
Shall I be myself?
The rain will burn
The sun will turn to black
I fare you well
Before you ring my bell
Don't let the sun go down
Hold your last beam of light
Make your choice right now
Wake me up when you cry
The boat will sail away
I'll see you again someday
The boat will sail away
I'll see you again someday

What If?
03:29
|

What if we couldn’t stand tall?
What if they don’t know me at all?
What if I don’t have it anymore?
What if I? What if I?
What if we never change?
What if we don’t care a thing?
What if I am here to entertain?
What if I? What if I?
What if the train never arrived?
What if the dead came alive?
What if the ceremony revived?
What if I? What if I?
Everything has to change
Everything is just one last thing
Everything is here to entertain
Everything, everything

Spiral
04:04
|
|||
As the void returns again
As the cluster is in a chain
In the spiral of the deep ocean
In the only direction
When the stars are one giant brain
When the sun is altering
Perfect hurricane
As the burning dust remains
As the darkness is altering
If the light has lived the age
The temperature has turned the page
When the colours have been entertained
The spiral is now not the same
Perfect hurricane
The stars they shine
The suns they burn
It takes a billion years to glow
How long is eternity?
How loud is this symphony?
The horizon would resonate
To bring it back to the ultimate fate
Particles danced, the time it freezed
The wave it held the electric breeze
The stars never shine
The suns never burn
Within the core the flash is driving away
Without an eye it can’t tell a night from a day
Time, time and space
They fall, fall apart
Falling apart
Falling apart
Falling apart
And the heart of the spiral
Will glow

The weather was so weird today
Maybe, maybe I am amazed
The sun is going to set
But I’m not ready to go yet
After the night has come
Summer is so much fun
For me
The pier is going to sink
People are going to swing
Hope that’s nothing to me
When the bulldozer is near
Sitting here, counting days
Put on another face
When we forget the time we loved
Forget the light
Forsake the night
And sit beside me
I came to the nursing home
There was just an empty room
I asked where the woman had gone
They said she sang her last song

Let It All Begin Again
03:45
|
|||
So many tongues were broken
So many birds had fallen
So many skies were closed
So many windows open
They said I sounded so much like Nick Drake
I told them I - I don’t know who he is
Is he a writer, a gambler or a dreamer
The sun is up, the moon is down
My friend
Let it all begin again
Too many angels fallen
Too many devils risen
Too many truths uncovered
Too many myths unanswered
And that is why
We are just in a circle
What have we done?
Put down all of your burdens
Heavens were damned
Hells were blessed
In my church
The moon is up, the sun is down
My friend
Let it all begin again
Let it all begin, let it all begin
Let it all, let it all
Let it all begin again

Misery
Is the only thing that lasts
Entity
Of my own self is mass
Without my wings
I cannot survive
The Babylon King
He has no afterlife
The sum of chances
Is bigger than I thought
The shortest branch
Is the hardest one I brought
Have you been
Someone you expected?
Have you seen
Something you corrected?
Everyone is telling me I’m wrong
On my way you can walk along
The foggy suite
Sometimes can drench my coat
Dead end street
Sometimes can feel the cold
The broken horn
Is going to be played
On farmer’s corn
Pesticide is sprayed
Above the stars
All is just a fraud
The boulevard
Has no footsteps of God
Will you say
What I wanna know?
Will you stay
at where you wanna grow?
Everyone is telling me I’m wrong
On my way you can walk along
On my way you can walk along
