1.GIRL (instrumental)

2.ROPE BRIDGE CROSSING

And I remember everything
Sunrise on a blue horizon
You, your hand in mine
I remember the things you said
Said: I'll be a lady, wait through it all
Be there to catch you, after the fall
Run through the red light, out of my hair
Run from the darkness into the dare
And I dream of running
And in the dream I, myself could run
And I feel the ground beneath my feet
And I move like music
You move me, like music
Head out of my way
Head out to red light
Hold on, the dream says
Head out of my life
You said: I'd be there
Now I'm treading very carefully
And I hope that I don't scream
And I hope that I don't fall
Off your bridge, crossing over
Sunny mountain, swollen river fall
You said: I'd be there
You said:I'd be there
Through it all
Head out of my way
Head of to red light
Hold on the dream says
Head out of my life
All over my way
Head out to red light
Hold on the dream says
Head out of my life
You said: I'd be there

3.CITY OF NO SUN

Love me tenderly my darling
In the city of light and truth
For this moment forever sing
For my darling that I love you
The City
Of no sun
No peace
In my heart
You left me
Nothing
You left me
Broken
You love sell
It's funny
You love scream
you said you loved me
You love seal
You love me
You love me
Outside the fields
In sunlight
The singing breeze
And the silence
Lover
Release me
I can't move
I can't breathe
I can't grieve
I can't hear nothing
And no heart
No peace
No more nothing
A long day
A long night
Until the
Love lies
Love lies

4.THAT WAS MY VEIL

It starts at daylight
I see him
Before my sad eyes
I hear him breathing
Oh lover, need you to lead me
No never thought that you'd leave
That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies
No words can
Heal my heart
Inside I'm broken
Now it's done
Was she a pretty girl
Does she have pretty hair
Was she soft-spoken
Was there a love there
That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies
Give back my veil
Give back my time
No more secret
You give me lies
Give me back my veil
Give back my life
No more secret
You give me lies

5.URN WITH DEAD FLOWERS IN A DRAINED POOL

I need your lie
Darling love lies
And if you gave it to me
I'd hold it in the palm of my hand
Like a good luck charm, or a vice
And I'd reach up like a child to receive it
There is no more said
There is no more real
I got sun on my back
I remember you
Take me inside
Your warm love lie
And if he took me
I'd hold him up to the light
Like a god, or a good luck charm, or a vice
And I'd open up like a child to believe it
There is no more said
There is no more real
Got sun on my back
And I remember you
No
There is no more said
There is no more real
I got sun on my back
And I remember you
And still you can't give your peace to me

6.CIVIL WAR COORRESPONDANT

Words leave my heart dry
Words can't save life
Love has no place here
No joy, no tears
Darling, time's changed
Time leaves, time fades
Please see through my eyes
Save your tears for the next who dies
I shout but he don't hear
I put down on a page
Darling spare me your tears
Just send me the light of day
I shout but he don't hear
Just put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Dear God please send me the light of day
I can feel his
Heart wired
Heart like
Gunfire
Gunfire

7.TAUT

Jesus save me
Jesus save me
Can I tell you something
Can I tell you a story
It's about me and Billy
'Cause I remember
I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he'd ever owned apart from me
And the color was red
And the color was red and he drove me
He drove me out of my mind
I'm over it now
It was spring or summer sixty five I don't remember
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said
Jesus save me
Jesus save me
Inherited his father's hate that what he'd say
And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape but somehow
He could make joy come loose inside
I would feel really I would feel really and truly alive
And I would do anything for him
It just wasn't enough
It was never enough
He'd turn to me and say
He'd, he'd say: even the son of god had to die, my darling
And he wanted everything
He wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
Each new moon
He used to make me pray
Every morning
Hidden in the backseat, such Jesus
He'd make me pray
And he'd in there when he wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
Say it
Even the son of god had to die my darling
Go on, say it
Jesus save me
Jesus save me

8.UN CERCLE AUTOUR DU SOLEIL

She lay
Breathing
Sunshine
Beating
Time here
Lingers
Trace with
My fingers
A circle
A circle
Around the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun
No more
Laughter
Since the
Black come
But head down
Get high
Up there's
Blue sky
And a circle, a circle
Around the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun
Time here
Lingers
Can trace with
My fingers
A circle, a circle
Around the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun

9.HEELA

I was lost in love
I was lost inside
Untill he said to me
You've got a lovely smile
And I'm saved
Saved
And I'm saved
And I'm saved
Heal me with his hands
Heal me with his heart
When he said to me
No no we never part
Heal me with his hands
Well she feels though she had my paradise
Heal with his heart
She was a hula girl, she got her hair done nice
When he said to me
She said I'll give it all I got to my heela man
No no we never part
He put his hands on me, showed me what I am"
And I'm saved
When I got that heela by my side
And I push him daylight, push him night

10.IS THAT ALL THERE IS ?

I remember when I was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And I'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
And raced to the burning building out on the pavement
And I stood there shivering
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to a fire?
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And when I was twelve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earth
And there were clowns
And elephants
Dancing bears,
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to the circus?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day
He went away
And I thought I'd die
But I didn't
And when I didn't
I said to myself
Is that all there is to love?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep
I know what you must be saying to yourselves
If that's the way she feels about it
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Oh no. not me. I'm not ready for the final disappointment
Because I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes
And I'm breathing my last breath
I know what I'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let' s break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

11.DANCE HALL AT LOUSE POINT (instrumental)

12.LOST FUN ZONE

I believe I am here to stay
I believe his son was sent to save
The fun zone is here
Ride free so
Take me one more time
Take me one more time
Take me one more time
I don't believe that I gotta die someday
Please take me one more time
Take me one more time
Take me one more time
