Glimpse (Purple & Gold)
03:56

|
And I want to paint it all
In purple and gold,
and laugh at the mess
the canvas will show.
How? How can you tell?
Love never lies still
And so, so to the end
the heart will never express
all of the laughs,
all of the pain.
Only a glimpse,
only a stain.
How? How can you tell?…
And I want to paint it all…

Fatale

Here comes your majesty, child.
The crowd will open for you.
They’re going mad at the thought
of how easy for you it is to love.
They can no longer hold you back,
But that¹s their bad.
They want your flesh in the sun
but fear your freedom in sight.
This city is yours once again
and so is life, my dear friend.
And how glorious to see you
In bloom at last.
Ideal creature of God,
how could we think we could own you?
We can no longer stop
Your future is roaring tonight.
Men can no longer hold you back…
They want your flesh in the sun…

Kissing Clouds
04:10
|

|
Driving along the open road,
passing fields of light and green.
Nothing but blue skies
in between white clouds.
The sun shining brightly from above
on top of kissing clouds.
Kissing clouds, kissing clouds…
Passing through old towns that were hiding.
Victorian buildings falling down.
Empty windows, no one is looking now.
I'm coming to find you once again,
Below the kissing clouds.
Kissing clouds, kissing clouds.
I’m saying goodbye, I’m saying goodbye…
I know I'll always be in love with this love…

Truth
03:34
|
|||
|
Today you told me:
''I can't deny I love you so''
That's so unkind, like
pouring acid on a rose.
It sent a shiver through my bones.
Love is so hard to find, you know.
How could you say that?
A good lie's so easy to find.
But don't look for it too often
it will become your life.
You sent a shiver through my bones
love's so hard to find.
Truth…Truth…
Each time I want truth
your lie gets the best of me.
So I rather run and live
for another week.
I trust there is a heart out there
Maybe like my own.
Truth… Truth…

Heal
03:46
|
|||
|
I'm not afraid of the silence,
I'm not afraid of the dark,
because I have your laughter in me
to guide me right through the stars.
I'm opening my eyes
to all this wonder
that I'm leaving behind.
There is nothing greater.
I'm here to say goodbye
and set us free now
so we can heal.
Heal... Heal...
The music that flows inside me,
these flowers I barely knew,
the meaning of all this beauty,
the love that I felt for you.
I'm opening my eyes
To all this wonder
That I'm leaving behind
There's nothing greater.
I'm here to say goodbye
And let us go now
so we can heal.
Heal... Heal...
There is nothing greater...

Future Faker
03:43

|
There it was, ahead of us,
a future bright and ours for the taking.
Love was gently whispered
in between the aching, we had the green light
and the stars ran through the sky.
We could hit the ground, love,
and pave the streets with just desire in our eyes.
So when you came crashing down
right out of the blue our life just crumbled down,
while the stars ran through the sky.
You were just faking...
Faker, Future faker, Future faker
mapping out dreams made of snow.
Faker, Future faker, Future faker
faking till you're all alone.
There it was, ahead of us,
a future bright and ours for the taking.
All those things you said then,
all those stupid plans we made now left for dead,
dead and gone for evermore
Faker, Future faker, Future faker
mapping out dreams made of snow.
Faker, Future faker, Future faker
Promises melt in the sun.

I wish I never wrote those lines,
those precious words from me.
And I see the new girls come and go
without a care.
I’m not a fortune teller,
all I want from you:
Just don’t forget me.
You never knew
That in my heart you we’re always there.
These words I give are now for free:
Don’t Let Me Go.
Will you remember
that we were all that people talked about?
Now we are here, you’re looking fine,
another girl’s in line.
I’m not a fortune teller…
You never knew…
Don’t let me go…
Will you let it go? Will you sweep me away?
Will you let it go? Will you shut your mind to me?

To Give a Love
03:44
|

|
Can you hear me breathing
as I gather
dust amongst the days?
Can you hear me dreaming?
Yeah, I swear
My thoughts, they can be heard.
Can you see me now, can you feel me bleeding?
It's your face that haunts me every single night.
Can you see me now, can you feel me living?
We've so much left to learn.
Give a bit of love, girl.
Show a bit of love,
And you will see it flooding in return
Can you hear me dreaming?…
Can you see me now, can you feel me bleeding?…
Give a bit of love, girl…

When These Days Are Over
04:16
|

|
There I was, calling your name.
Well, I was left behind.
I had to let it go, child,
I had to move on fast.
When it’s over, what will we find?…
I lost my faith and I all found,
you know, I thought I’d drown.
My ache for you knows no time,
the past is never past.
When it’s over what will we find…
There I was calling your name…
When it’s over what will we find…
I think I’ll wait for you till the sun can’t shine…
