1. MY LOVER

My lover always meets me with a smile
My lover always kind, always patient
My lover like honey and milk
My lover on a cold November morning

But on the former Sunday I gave him in
And on the former Sunday he went away

All the grief that I have caused is
nothing now, compared to this
All the grief that I have given him
is nothing now, compared to this
And I can see him as he lies there
And I can see him in his grave

My lover on a bed in the evening mist
tender and pure in his last moment
My lover on a bed, spreads his beautiful hair
out on the pillow – out on me


2. ALL YOU HAD IN ME

You know I gave it away
You know I gave it to someone else instead
But like a crack of a dawn
and like an easter rabbit song – I knew you’d be gone

You said that I was the one
that you could put all your grief upon
But like a crack of a dawn
and like an easter rabbit song – I knew you’d be gone
with the easter song singing

I want you, I want you to see
the thing you still haven’t seen in me
I gave you all – all you had in me

For the sake of our love
and for all the times that we have shared
Can I sing you this song
And when all the easter rabbits are gone
I still have you here – at least a piece of you

And so I gave it away
And so I gave it to someone else instead


3. A DIFFERENT ANGLE

I shut my mouth
and lift my head up high
Singing my time will come
Can you carry me home?

I close my eyes
I close everything in sight
’cause I don’t want to see
Be good to me

Here we stand now
I have it all close to me
Here we go now
looking for a different angle

This is me
I am what you see
I am wild and strong
Where do I belong?

I close my eyes
I close everything in sight
I have no dignity, all my sense laugh at me
I go away


4. BALCONY BOULEVARD

If I were to live
on Balcony Boulevard
My feet wouldn’t touch the ground
But what if I fell down?

Would you see mee from the top
Would you see me waking up
I’d never go astray
but then, you’d find me anyway

Would I miss my beloved moss covered stones
the woods I once called home?
Would I still dream the dream of you?

The ghost you see – it’s only me
I am no longer free
If I fall, I fall alone
but if I fall for you, fall for you


5. HAPPY AMUSED

There was this girl
that I just had to be and
There was this world
that I just had to see but
I could not get away
I could not run away no
I could not get away but still

She was not scared
she knew which way to go and
If she just dared
She would succeed and so
she wanted it to be
a special hide-away and
she wanted it to be secret

I’m happy, amused and aware
of everything waiting for me out there
I’m happy, amused and aware
I don’t need guidance – my vision is clear

And so she swam
across the raging sea and
now she is gone
and all I see is myself
I wanted it to be
a special hide-away and
I wanted it to be secret

All I can do is breath in
All I can do is begin
And I can see that I am not alone
All I can do is breath in
All I can do is begin
And I can see I am not the only one


6. CINDERELLA

She is just passing through
Last year and the year before
She is just passing through you

She washed the day away
instead of making it allright
She washed the day away
– How brave

You don’t have to let her in
just listen and let her begin

She is Cinderella in disguise
or The Mermaid in despite
of her very human feet
dancing in her Ballroom Suite

You never did treat her well
oh, sure you had nice words to sell
You never did treat her well
– and you know it

She has come here today
and I don’t think she’s here to stay

Cinderella has to go
oh, I wish it was not so
As the clock soon will strike twelve
we will find her as herself


7. MAKE ME A STONE

If I knew you were coming
I’d be home soon
And if I knew you were wishing
upon the same moon

I would walk out in the night
to tell you it’s allright

Make me a stone
Make me a crown
Make me a child to bare through the storm
who can continue when I’m gone

Make me a tree
under the sea
Where I can climb and fall down
And we can sleep there on the ground

If I knew you were thinking
– to this one I am bound
And if I knew you were wishing
you should be on the same ground

Walk out in the night
and tell me it’s allright

If I could see the things you see
If I could be inside your head
Would I only do the right things
and would you still be here?


8. BORROWING YOU

Hey beautiful
can I have you for a while?
Here in my head
you’re the one

I never thought
I would find somebody like you
I never thought
you would come my way

Lending time, passing through
all the seasons – borrowing you
Setting sail, finding new
distant shores – borrowing you
I will go through it all
if it makes you want me more

Hey beautiful
can’t you see me as I stand
right before you
giving my heart

I touch my happiness
I can’t remember how it was to live before you
I touch my blessedness
I never thought I would find myself giving in

But, if you go – I go
and if you stay so will I
If you go – I’ll go, and you know I’ll go with you


9. "LITTLE LOW"

I need a place where no one has to know
what I cry for – what I choose to show
of myself and how I’d like to keep
the wolf inside me – finally asleep

You are just a tree in my garden
Well, I’m the one who is looking for a friend

Way down to “Little Low” now
Way down to “Little Low”
I am way down to “Little Low” now
Way down to “Little Low”

So one day it’s knocking on my door
Be careful now, it’s slippery – the floor
I wax it now and then, it makes me feel
better all the time – let’s spin the wheel

Way down a different line
way down now
Hey down to a different world this time
Way down to a different kind of low


10. IMAGES OF YOU

Where streetlamps go to die
is where we will find our love – no reason my
I love you this much
nothing as such – don’t ask me why

If I close my eyes and start counting all the lies
– I wish I’d die
I’m wishing all the best – I hope you pass the test
at least you could try

I’ve never liked sleeping alone
But sleeping with you is like coming home
I’ve never liked loosing control
But when I’m with you that’s what’s making me whole
When you breath in my hair – the love we share
I can’t believe this fear I have inside
of not staying true to the images of you

I wish that I could go – and never let me know
what you have done
I could live my life, and carry all my pride
believing I won

I can’t believe this fear I have inside
of staying true to the images of you


11. PAINT MY WINGS

Can I kiss you though I’m leaving
Can I show I care?
Can I hold you like the first time
though you know I won’t be there?

I will paint my wings with beautiful things
and whisper words in the night
I will come around and bring what I found
when I went to look for the sea

Nothing withers, it just shivers in the wind

Can you find it in your heart
to one day forgive me?
I never meant to cause you sorrow
I always meant for you to see

But when seasons call your name
And cover all your grief
You will find that you don’t think of me
as often as you once did
