Go on to get lucky
03:20

She simply told me how it’s working
Going down a road that never ends
You’ve got to go on to get lucky
Make the sounds, sing the songs and love your friends
It seems our destiny will keep us going
Every single day another try
Still so many backroads to discover
That is why you and I can’t say goodbye
No goodbye, no goodbye
No goodbye, no goodbye
Better not talk about your worries
They just stay or leave you for a while
That is the way the cookie crumbles
On any day, at any time, in any style
No goodbye, no goodbye
No goodbye, no goodbye
No goodbye, no goodbye
This is what it is, you bet, this is something
Can’t think of a better thing to say
Dancing in the dark with your best lover
It’s got to be you and me all the way
All the way, every day
All the way, every day
All the way, every day

Something I said
03:16
|
|||
|
Was it something I said, hm
Going around in your head
I wasn’t in the right mood, didn’t mean to be rude
Still you and I are sitting here
In our own world like strangers
Hard to believe we would ever end up like this
Was it something I did, hm
Or maybe something I hid, from you
I wasn’t in the right place, I thought of other ways
And you and I saw it coming
But sometimes we don’t trust our eyes
Hard to believe how we pretend to be deaf and blind
Was it something I said, hm
Turn it around, turn it around right now
(Let’s try to) turn it around, turn it around right now
Was it something I missed, huh
I should have put on my list, to do
When I think of the times
with nothing else on our minds
You and I held it together
With light in our hearts, love in our eyes, nothing else but we
Hard to believe it turned into what it never would be
Was it something I said, hm
Turn it around, turn it around right now
(Why don’t we) turn it around, turn it around right now

Kiss me
02:42
|
|||
|
Right or left or down the middle, where do we need to go
I’m afraid that I don’t know
It’s a small world growing bigger
With all the trouble – hard to figure
Kiss me and tell me you love me so
Up or down, what’s the difference when you’re feeling low
And you don’t want it to show
It’s a mad world with crazy folks
Trying hard to keep high hopes
Kiss me and tell me you love me so
Try to keep it close to the heart baby
It’s the best you can do
And everytime life’s putting you down
Just kiss me and I will pull you through
In or out, stay where you are or go the extra mile
You might linger for a while
It’s a sad world that no one cares about
They take a lie and shout it out loud
Kiss me and give me another smile
You don’t want to howl to be heard, baby
Like the ones that make you blue
And every time life’s putting you down
Just kiss me and I will pull you through
Trying to keep it close to the heart baby
It’s the best you can do
And everytime life’s putting you down
Just kiss me and I will pull you through

Dreamer's dream
04:36
|
|||
|
Where are the beaches, the shores of the past
The old pirate’s children running so fast
Dwell in the dreams of the days we once knew
How did they ever come true
Teardrops of winter, wild wind hair
Clouds of seagulls up in the air
A symbol of life, the untameable sea
Or for how it could be
When you’ve seen a dreamer’s dream
Oooooo ooooo ooooo
Bees in the meadow where wildflowers grow
Carelessly dancing around as they go
The circle of life, so unworried and free
That is how it could be
When you’ve seen a dreamer’s dream
Oooooo ooooo ooooo
A tree in the distance kissed by a haze
Sheltered so many, all of its days
No living soul ever asked in vain
Saved from showers of rain
When you’ve seen a dreamer’s dream
Oooooo ooooo ooooo

Best year of your life
04:15
|
|||
|
You win and lose, you try to stand tall
The pillars you knew might stumble and fall
It kicks you around, through an endless night
But it might be the best year of your life
Times were good, you painted every town
The sun came up and it never went down
But now it’s dim where it used to be bright
Still this could be the best year of your life
Tides turn, bridges burn, vows to keep
Hearts ache, mountains break, love grows deep
The songs you love will never die
Like the summer sun or the moonlit sky
And when it seems that nothing’s right
Still this could be the best year of your life
Lives end, bruises mend, hands to hold
No doubt, no way out, gospels told
Tides turn, bridges burn, vows to keep
Hearts ache, mountains break, love grows deep
Lives end, bruises mend, hands to hold
No doubt, no way out, gospels told

Find your way
03:41
|

|
Running in circles on a tiny little island
While she could sail the seven seas
Everywhere she looks a wide horizon
Of unexpected possibilities
Find your way, little girl, find your way
Every day, little girl, every day
Find your way, little girl, find your way
See who you want to be
Stuck behind a smoke screen in a tiny little room
While everybody knows her name
It might be so simple, open up the door
And walk into the grown up game
Find your way, little girl, find your way
Every day, little girl, every day
Find your way, little girl, find your way
See who you want to be
Lions on the road, vultures in the sky
Dogs in the alley but you’ll get by, hmm, you’ll get by
Tomorrow’s coming closer, don’t be afraid
Run into the world and make it spin
No one’s going to get you if you don’t know how to start
Your heart will tell you where to begin
Find your way, little girl, find your way
Every day, little girl, every day
Find your way, little girl, find your way
See who you want to be

Tell me something
05:15

Tell me something - something I need
Hmmm, I’ve been watching you
Tell me something you won’t tell anyone else
I know something’s going on, I’ve had trouble myself
Well you know, well you know about me
I’ve seen you walking around this town
The doors locked up tight, your eyes are down
You know me, like you feel me
I think you’re one sweet mystery
Tell me something - something I need
There’s nothing you should keep away from me
Keep nothing away from me
Tell me something - something you need
Anything baby, anything you please
Hmmm, you’re safe with me
I need to know what’s on your mind
I don’t worry about what I’ll find
I’ll try anything to brighten up your day
All you’ve got to do is walk my way and
Tell me something - something I need
There’s nothing you should keep away from me
Keep nothing away from me
I’m right here, right here for you

Amsterdam rain
03:56
|
|||
|
On the banks of this old river
Sun on my face makes me shiver
Springtime far away from home
Can’t help smiling when I’m here
Everything I love so near
I can feel it in my bones
Don’t blame me
For having everything I’ve ever wanted
Don’t blame me
For finding a place where I feel free, don’t blame me
Wandering down gravel roads
Wildflowers, open windows
The rain is so much sweeter than back home
Beauty everywhere I look
The leap of faith we once took
Trying to find a place to call our own
Don’t blame me
For having everything I ever wanted
Don’t blame me
For finding a place where I feel free, don’t blame me
I’ll be missing you when summer sun washes down on Spain
My heart will grow a little cold
In the Amsterdam rain, the Amsterdam rain
Don’t blame me
For having everything I ever wanted
Don’t blame me
For finding a place where I feel free
I feel free

One lifetime
03:37
|
|||
|
You’ll wake in a minute or two
See me and smile
Ask me about my dreams
I’ll say to stay here a while
Close to the break of day
Another sun coming up
So many days to come
But one lifetime’s not enough
If we were the waves against the shore
The sun and the moon
Then every moment here with you
Would not end too soon
The gentle rise and fall while you breathe
And the way you move against me while you sleep
I want to hold you forever
Don’t want this to pass
I know it doesn’t work that way
It’s just too much to ask
I wish there was no end to our love
We get the days we get but one lifetime’s not enough
If we were the waves against the shore
The sun and the moon
Then every moment here with you
Would not end too soon
The gentle rise and fall while you breathe
And the way you move against me while you sleep
The gentle rise and fall while you breathe
And the way you move against me while you sleep
One lifetime’s not enough, one lifetime’s not enough

Falling angel
03:59
|
|||
|
Like a falling angel searching for a new horizon
With wings of gold and love light shining in your eyes
You go my way, we go our way
I would hold you close to me and feel your heart surrender
Chances are we’ll never find a better place to start
You go my way
The sun is rising warm and blinding
We stare into the light where day begins
Time is an illusion when the road starts winding
Keep your eye on the love that wins
Here’s the first warm morning in a dark and lonely winter
With sweet perfume of flower blossoms at the birth of spring
We will find a trail that leads us past the storms of longing
Cutting through a scene of quiet summer dreams
You go my way
The sun is rising warm and blinding
We stare into the light where day begins
Time is an illusion when the road starts winding
Keep your eye on the love that wins

The right words
03:52
|
|||
|
Well she promised herself no one else would quiet her down
Well she promised herself she finally would be going to town
Sure thing, next time around she would say it out loud
Well she promised herself to ease up and try to unwind
Well she promised herself to give up all the doubts in her mind
Sure thing, next time around no more easy and kind
Find the right words, too late
Find the right words, much too late
Easy to say: next time I won’t wait
Tired of the badgering fools, how they bellow and blare
Tired of all the jabbering jaws filling rooms with hot air
She’s ready to roll and speak her mind without worry or care
Find the right words, in time
Find the right words, right in time
Easy to imagine she won’t ever ramble and rhyme
Right’s never wrong, whatever they say
Repeating the song was never your way
See how it crumbles when you give it a try
You can’t stumble when you don’t lie
Find the right words, in time
Find the right words, right in time
Easy to imagine she won’t ever ramble and rhyme
