Lyrics and songs excerpts.
To listen to them in full go to Shop
I’m so glad, we finally met
Is it luck or was it meant
It doesn’t matter anyhow, as long as I can hold your hand
It doesn’t matter anyway, as long as I can see you there
That’s what matters now
That’s what matters now
I’m so pleased to be here with you
I can’t express all that I feel
So I’ll try instead to show you in my eyes the happiness inside of me
I know you’ll feel it
So now that you have found me
I don’t want to let you go
But then again I know, that you don’t stay for long
And I also know, that nobody’s to blame
It’s just the name of the game
I know that you can’t stay
I know that you can’t st
We’ve been dancing on this rock
For quite some time
We’ve been dancing on this rock
Without knowing why
Since the past before the past
Before a long time ago
And the ancient crowds that danced
Still dance behind the wall
And now you wonder ”was I here once before”?
And now you ask “was it once or was it more”?
We’ve been dancing on this rock
For quite some time
We’ve been dancing on this rock
Without knowing why
In a distant land
That lives just next door
In a distant past
And now you wonder ”was I here once before”?
And now you ask “was it once or was it more”?
Guitar solo over intro verse and verse chords
And now you wonder ”was I here once before”?
And now you ask “was it once or was it more”?
The music of the spheres
Was playing in a market place
The song of the nightingale
Was heard from far away
While I was sleeping
The taste of strawberry wine
Changed the wise man’s mind
The scent of the morning dew
Defused through the gamut of the blue
While I was sleeping
The touch of the angel’s hand
Was felt on the rainbow band
The roar of the water fall
Stroked the string of the sacred Sol
While I was sleeping
The tale of a sacred being
Raised the wave of million feelings
The fall of so many lies
Was seen by their open eyes
While I was sleeping
Should I run or should I walk
Should I listen or should I talk
Should I fast or should I eat
Should I play or should I cheat
The question is, should “should” exist
Should I hide or should I tell
Should I buy or should I sell
Should I sit or should I stand
Should I stop or should I go up to the end
The question is, should “should” exist
Organ solo over verse changes
Should I diet or should I eat the pie
Should I smile or should I lie
Should I wake or should I sleep
Should I follow or should I lead
The question is, should “should” exist
Should I be or should I not
Should I need or should I ought
It’s all too fancy said a salmon to a trout
Don’t forget your role
Said St. Peter to St. Paul
‘cause again we’ll have to play it all
The shoe’s too big
The foot’s too small
The hair’s too thick
The wind’s too strong
I can’t take it anymore
The day’s too bright
The night’s too dark
The cake’s too sweet
Too many people on the street
How can I ever get by, Oh, Yeah
Why I am not allowed back into paradise
The tea’s too cold
And where’s the pot of gold
The tree’s too tall
And this stupid song
I can’t take it anymore
The tie’s too tight
The note’s too high
People multiply
And I can’t see the sky
How come everything’s so wrong I swear
Idiots happen everywhere
A fake reputation,
That’s all a man has, ah-ahh, ah-ahh
Even if you do your mystic dance
Even if you play your little game
It is what it is said the man with no name
Even if you paint your pretty face
Even if you trim your empty space
It is what it is said the lion to his mane
It is what it is said the lion to his mane
A fake reputation, ah-ahh, ah-ahh
Even if you feel like a mighty queen
Even if you put on your brand new jeans
It is what is said the girl to her broken nail
Even if you evoke the tallest elf
Even if you touch your higher self
It is what it is said the monkey to his tail
It is what it is said the monkey to his tail
A fake reputation
A fake reputation
Even if you play your tune again
Even if you pray day after day
It is what it was and it will be all the same
It is what it was and it will be all the same
Please send me a postcard
From wherever you happen to be
Please send me a postcard
And tell me what you see
From the wondrous valleys of the mystic woods
From beyond the seventh sea
Please send me a postcard
And do not omit a thing
Please send me a postcard
from the reality of your fears
Did you see the salamanders or the airy sylphs
Did you talk to gnomes or beautiful undines
Bass solo (chorus changes)
Just send me a postcard
From your brightest and darkest dreams
Just send me a postcard
And tell me how you sleep
Did you touch the stardust or the majestic Saturn rings
Did you hear the angels playing the music of the spheres
Well, I don’t care how silly it can be
I’ll just read, no judgment will you hear
Your eyes still closed
But heaven only knows
What’s behind your eye brows
Your heart’s still small
But heaven only knows
How brave and wise it will grow
Remember Jon
You’ve got to be strong
‘Cause life is just a sing along song
Your face is changing
But then again it stays the same
The seed inside you
Just let it grow
‘Cause it’s divine, so let it glow
Remember Jon
You’ve got to be strong
And along the road, you may understand
What’s beyond life itself
Oh little Jon
Still in your parents’ arms
It’s where you’re safe, and love’s to be found
Oh little Jon
It won’t be too long
Remember Jon
You’ve got to be strong
And don’t get caught
In life’s crazy overtones
And don’t get caught
In life’s crazy overtones
And don’t get caught…
In life’s crazy overtones
I would like to hear you say
All the things that linger there
I would like to hear you scream
Let it out, all that steam
Cause I know you’re there
In this submarine submerged
Bring it all right up, don’t suppress it to the dark
Because you’re gonna drown
I would like to see you dance
To the tune of the game of change
I would like to see you move
To the rhythm of what you have improved
Cause I know you’re there
In this submarine submerged
Bring it all right up, don’t suppress it to the dark
Because you’re gonna drown
I would like to hear you sing
Like troubadours sang to kings
I would like to see you grow
The flower of love inside your soul
Cause I know you’re there
In this submarine submerged
Bring it all right up, don’t suppress it to the dark
Because you’re gonna drown
Walk with me
Just one more mile
And maybe I will see the light
Play with me
Teach me the rules
And maybe I will make the right moves
Please stay don’t go away
So maybe I won’t regret
The times I wasn’t there
For me, for thee, for them
Dance with me
One more time
And maybe I will get it right
Sit with me
Let’s feel the whole
So maybe I will make sense of it all
Please stay don’t go away
So maybe I won’t regret
The times I wasn’t there
For me, for thee, for them
Bear with me
Don’t go away
I really hoped you came here to stay
Stay with me
A longer while
And maybe I will make you smile
Please stay don’t go away
So maybe I won’t regret
The times I wasn’t there
For me, for thee, for real
There, where within meets without
And there where the silence meets the shout
I wanna be
There, where the high up meets the low
And there where the yes meets the no
I wanna be
Oh Lord do I really want it
Oh Lord do I really care, I don’t know
There where the peasant meets the knight
There where the coward meets the fight
I wanna be
There where the angel meets the mob
And there where the hated meets the loved
I wanna be
Oh Lord do I really want it
Oh Lord do I really care, I don’t know
There where the past meets the now
And there where future meets the how
I wanna be
There where my feeling meets my thought
There where I am and where I’m not
I wanna be
There where beginnings meet the whole
There where my body meets my soul
