The Dawn of Day

I don’t know why I’m feeling this way
a burning lust to come out and play
the music flows and the melody grows
the troubadour’s alba at the dawn of day

When a cool breeze calls the sun to rise
I sense the air of Paradise
Timeless words the troubadour wrote
while he sang his songs of love devote

Under your spell
Heaven and hell
Down in the well
Rising in swell

When the night departs from the morning gate
Can you still recall the serenade?
The troubadour sang while the night began
now the melody lingers a twist of fate

Under your spell
Heaven and hell
Down in the well
Rising in swell

The Ocean of Love

When she smiles, from her golden lips
a drop of honey slowly drips
into the reign of a sudden whim
you find yourself on a limb

It will take your breath away
steal your night and day
through the caves of mystery
you swim …. into the ocean of love

And while a crazy beat conquers your heart
a burning heat will tear you apart
and you will dive into the sea
and you will love what you see

It will take your breath away
steal your night and day
through the caves of mystery
you swim …. into the ocean of love

Haunted Dream

I see some shapes around
when my brain is thinking of nothing
but a shiny dew and then you
bang against my mind
there must be something to find
before it’s found

So don’t throw your soul away
on this shady day
Take my breath away
while i’m locked inside your walls

Your time, these minutes between
Christmas Eve and Halloween
Such a pretty way you’ve built these walls of fire
like mountains so great
a translucent state

There is no time to wait
to climb your wall
look out don’t fall
no reason to scream
i’m just hanging on a dream

Lullaby for early morning hunters

Let me crouch over you and watch you sleep my love
Let me lay down beside and hold you tight

Let me hear you breathing and your heart beating
Lay my hands on your hips Seal a kiss on your lips

Young is the night I’ve got time on my side
Cause you will stay, Till the light of day

A lullaby for early morning hunters …

Catch a Lightning Ray

When I feel the lightning wanna strike me today
and rains of confusion are coming my way
I’ll will be running looking for a place to hide
on the slippery roads I try to stride

I gotta keep on going along the way
I gotta keep on running and catch a lightning ray

And I see a shelter for the thunder and rain
but when i’m getting closer I feel linked to a chain
and i start to wonder what is this all about
am I alone here yet chained to the crowd
and all things down are they like above?
I know I am guess that’s enough

I gotta keep on going along the way
I gotta keep on running and catch a lightning ray

Mirabelle / No Night and Day

Mirabelle is flying away to Dubai or St. Tropez
Dream about her wedding day in Dubai or St. Tropez

And angel eyes make you pray and smile along the way
like to stay another day till Mirabelle is flying away

Mirabelle leads you astray to a strange place far away
where there is no night and day and all colors are gray

far away, she leads you astray
no night and day, colors are gray

Find your way

You came like a desert rose that blossoms on Sunday
The beauty inside of you will flourish one day

Fly away, fly away one day, you’re gonna find your way

And what are we looking for on this planet of glory
Something more wonderful than these days of worry

and the petals grow from the tears on your smile
a desert in bloom every once in a while

Fly away, fly away
one day, you’re gonna find your way

Gloomy Daze

Days double the daze, embrace the mellow maze
feel the grace when gloomy days wake up with a sleepy face

Daffodils down the drain you can feel their pain
on a station in the rain you wait in vain for a train

ding a dong sing along,
you may be right, you may be wrong

ding a dong sing along
you may be weak, you may be strong

you may be good you may be bad
you may be happy you may be sad

but everything’s okay
on a gloomy day

Halloween Stone

When I heard about a stone that was hurting so bad inside
all alone in a room on a Halloween night

I wish a song would do some good and take the pain away
I wish you could turn back the time till yesterday

I feel the blues in my shoes, they start walking away
every path that was paved turned muddy and gray

I wish a song would do some good and take the pain away
I wish you could turn back the time till yesterday

Take it away

The Healer

From the day i was born
I feel music live inside deep down inside
Like a river it flows
from the head to the toe

Music is the language of the soul
and when you feel it oh, then you know

Baby play that song for me
Music is the healer
Baby sing along with me
Music is the healer

Music is pure creativity
and when you open your heart
it blows out negativity

Baby play that song for me
Music is the healer
Baby sing along with me
Music is the healer

Music Man

The music man’s waiting
for inspiration to come
It’s kind of a slow day,
not much going on
Nothing happens on twitter, silly quotes on the book
The street full of shadows, but nowhere to look
and the melody searching for a way through the chords
Words keep on hiding, nothing shows on the board
The music man’s waiting for bliss to come
Time for creating, getting out of the numb
Inspiration is calling, preparing to show
that glorious moment for a song to grow
15 minutes to go now, can’t wait anymore
Inspiration was waiting for me to open the door…

When the Muse came into Town

When the Muse came into town
wearing a snow-white velvet gown
when the sun, lightened her face
my eyes were blinded by beauty and grace

From one day I go into the next I fly
whirlwinds taking me into the sky
and nothing else matters anymore
when the muse is knocking at my door

When she took me by the hand
on the doorstep of a mystic land
all of a sudden, I heard a voice
Music Man you’ve got a choice

In my land you may always dwell
but play your music or I break the spell
I’m the dream you have dreamt
the siren song that was heaven sent

Horny Vamp

She’s a vampire
but she won’t bite
she’s a vampire
she’s out of sight

she’s a vampire
she steals your heart
for the moon
is ready to part

on the night shift
asleep at day
a pale diamond
a moonlight serenade

She loves to play the cello
a little slow and mellow
move her fingers on a string
and make you think you’re the king

Like a fairy
with round cheeks
she always finds
but never seeks
Vampire …

Dream a dream girl

When the dream girl sighs
she’ll take you away
over the mystic doorstep to a forest….
Far away
She will paint in colors on the wall of fate
she will draw the curtains of a translucent state

The dream girl couldn’t sleep at night
she’s busy invading dreams
sowing the seeds of love
on a lucid reverie

She will hunt you down
and haunt your dream
of love and emotion and silent screams
She will linger on
face the mirror of your soul
like a newborn baby without a goal

The dream girl couldn’t sleep at night
she’s busy invading dreams
sowing the seeds of love
on a lucid reverie

Dream girl, dream a dream girl

Serene

Serene i feel the embrace of a smile
and all i want is to stay for a while
the island dream slumbers in here
the sirens song like a whisper in my ear

serene like a dream taking me away
serene like the night encounters the day
the doors of your room lead me back to the isle
where songs are made with the embrace
of a smile

Crawling the waves of my soul
I hear the song that makes me feel whole
the touch of your wings make me fly
and I …. feel serene

Serene like a dream taking me away
serene like the night encounters the day
and the doors of your room lead me back to the isle
where songs are made with the embrace of a smile

Ocean of Love

Stranded Siren

The siren used to come out and play
like a muse, she showed the way
her songs blew the night away
and gave birth to a brighter day

Slowly slip sliding away
it led the senses allay
like a flower in a field of May
like a soul on all saint’s day

Now the shores are full of hearsay
about the siren stranded today
how the sun turned her into clay
and the siren won’t sing today

Stranded today on the sand she lay
like a flower in May that was blown away

the siren won’t sing today

Shores of Desire

We’re going down down the river
from the source to the sea the river flows perpetually

The eternal shores that smell of desire
on which I’ll be washed again and again
from darker skies into brighter heavens
real poems never end

Take my hand for a walk
on the paths that seem unknown
cause I’m floating down the river
bound to drown into the sea

From the source to the sea the river flows perpetually
and we’re going down down the river

Must I pass all the valleys of feelings
Must I creep through the gutters of decay
And is it true that we have chosen
Never to ask for a way

Take my hand for a walk
on the paths that seem unknown
cause I’m floating down the river
bound to drown into the sea

From the source to the sea
the river flows perpetually
and we’re going down
down the river

Dark End of the Day

Will you ever go down into the town
where the angels would kneel down and cry
and tell the stories of the great wonder why

The angel said:
When you walk on the road of life
you can see tears rolling by
you feel sorrow and you feel joy

Thousand mountains you climb
never reaching your aim
you’re waiting for something
for something that won’t come

Black waves of raging water will throw you ashore
and the hazy dew of newer mornings will call out for more

like a torch you will light up
for a while you’ll glow
but you fade, fade away
into the dark end of the day
