The Dawn of Day

Listen on Spotify

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


Listen on Spotify

I see some shapes around
when my brain is thinking of nothing
but a shiny dew and than 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

And yout 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
then 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 is 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 is 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…
