    1. Trying To Kiss The Sun

      I'm on my way to sweeter life with something
      left behind me who will pull me from
      The jetstream with its surface sunlight?
      Nothing is left that can't be done
      So let's try to kiss the sun.
      Sun- Let's take a trip and try to kiss the sun
      Sun- Let's take a trip
      On my way to space the blinding beauty's rising
      with us longing to make it to the moment
      of your greatest triumph.

      Think of the time when we were young.
      And we tried to kiss the sun

      Open your mind to motion always on the run.
      All the thoughts that cross my mind become
      undone – Are we caged inside a universe
      of light? Two of us we count as one.
      Make it whole and touch the sun

    2. Waiting For A Smile

      Daylight gentles down
      And with the call of the nightingale
      I make my way
      And fly into the dawn
      Must have been a long long time
      'cause I can't recall our last date
      at the picture-show
      waiting for a smile

      So I hide behind the glare of
      an open-minded stare
      Gathering the snapshots of my life
      And when you turn the page
      The pictures of you fade to grey
      Waiting for a smile

      All the way I tried to be
      (With) all the reasons that were so
      important for my life
      They are still the same

      Then Eden slipped a day
      And there was nothing left to
      say about us anymore
      The smile has gone away

    3. I Don't Know

      I thought you know me standing face to face
      I thought I could feel me. But nothing is the same
      And when I'm too near. You hide away from me
      You can't love what you need. It's so hard to set you free

      I don't know what it's like, what it's like.

      Have you ever thought. That I can't hear the phone
      A misunderstanding. Is there something I should know
      But maybe deep inside. You'll find out nothing is the same
      Why can't you be here?

      Don't understand the games you play.

    4. Sugar For The Ape

      You don't answer when I'm calling you
      Doesn't seem there is anything I can do
      We should be happy after all we've been through
      What d'ya mean I'm not into your life
      'Cause I'm always coming home late at night
      I don't think you know what you mean

      Ooh Baby it's a good day to run away, far away
      Ooh Baby it's a good day to run away

      The life I'm living is not much of what you know
      The place I am is not the place for you to go
      You know I didn't mean to hurt you so much!

      What do you think of how it used to be?
      Was it love that you wanted to see?
      I think the best thing is you better get away now.

      Send me an angel
      That sings a song that makes me smile again
      Send me an angel
      To free my life

    5. Side By Side

      High higher mountains
      Stand on endless green
      A cool breeze blowing your long red hair over me
      The clouds are passing slowly
      They take our fears away
      The lovely sound of springtime
      Not a word we have to say

      What was life about without you
      Now that I've seen the starlight in your eyes

      I gave away so many days
      Before you came into my life
      Like a funny bird into the light
      I'll follow you wherever you will go

      To see you, to feel you, to touch you, is to love you

      Always getting closer, closer to the sun
      Burning our wings, we can't stop what we've begun
      Oo late for an “excuse me”, too late to say goodbye
      We'll always be together
      Side by side

      You cannot turn back time again
      I don't regret what we have done
      The open future in our hands
      The wonder we've waited for so long

      To see you, to feel you, to touch you, is to love you

      Always getting closer …

    6. You

      It's all because of you
      You shut the door like many times before
      Drowing in your past
      I'm searching for release
      Where is the hero riding with the wind
      Moving too fast
      The silence is too loud to understand the
      Words we say
      Look at me now
      Reaching out to you
      'cause all the way your are
      all the way you feel
      all the way you live
      is how it ought to be

      Never let it bring you down
      I cannot face the world without you
      How I wish you were around
      There's still a place for us to fly to

      You – Never fit intoi this life we live
      I'd catch you if you fall
      You – You should have seen before

      Talk to me now
      There's no single word I wouldn't try to
      understand
      I worship the ground
      That you will walk with me
      'cause all the way you are
      all the way you live
      is how it ought to be

      I thought I never did nobody wrong
      Where do you go? What do you do?
      There must be a chance to live our dream
      'Cause it's all because of you.

    7. Tell Me Why

      Two weeks without a single word
      Walking through the churchyard
      You'll find the way out on your own
      We still don't reach each other
      And when the leaves start falling down
      They cover every trace of you
      I never chose to be around
      There is no redemption

      Damn we never had a chance
      Please say goodbye when you leave me
      Wreck my life
      Don't tell me why….

      Should I stay
      When I feel the rain is falling down
      Why should I stay
      When I feel you're not the only one

      You set me drifting once again
      Must have been a thing you said
      I always tried to be the way
      Yoou tried to see me

      Now that the final tear has been shed
      Don't say goodbye and deceive me
      Wreck ma life
      Don't tell me why….

      Sure I wish I'd never lied
      Bring me back where all began
      Sure I wish that I'd been right
      To say goodbye to go
      You left me on my knees

    8. Believe Me

      Looking for the answers
      That a dreamer needs to know
      Who's gonna wake me when it's over
      Far away from home
      You're not the only reason
      Although sometimes I'm not sure
      How I can stand a single day without you

      Believe me
      I'm not the only one you are waiting for

      Please come a little closer
      So strange to hear you on the phone
      To feel the warmth together without gaining our end
      Lost and found
      Far away from home

      Believe me
      I'm not the only one you are waiting for

    9. Sunday Morning

      Sunday morning, cloudless sky. Not so long ago we talked
      About what was going wrong, before it hat begun.
      As sure as it had started. Much too fast to understand.
      Not what we thought. A new love had to be.

      So hard to find a way that leads into belief.
      But now you lay here by my side

      Dream on you'll be safe inside my arms.
      Dream on I'll be here to keep you warm.
      Sleep well it's much too early to get up.

      I just woke up to see if you're still there.
      Sleep on it's five o'clock.

      I'm feeling so much better now. A look into eyes
      And I can feel what's on your mind 'cause your
      Heart is open wide.

      Funny how my life has changed. Not that I'm in paradise
      But all the dark and grey, pours colour in my eyes.

    10. Home Again

      Now we don't talk anymore
      It's not that I think you're not right
      Maybe all was my fault
      Another rainy day goes by
      I wonder where you are
      Maybe it's right to keep it dark
      No chance to open up the door
      It was me that failed once more

      At the end of all our dreams
      There's silence in our hearts
      And we'll be home again
      Our life will fade away
      For a new life that will come
      'cause we'll be home again

      Like a fragment of the whole
      Your picture's travelling across the sky
      From a dark spot in the sun

      Time is screaming out my name
      Flowers grow too high
      I can't resist it anymore

      I hope you're happy that you closed the door
      Was it me that failed once more?

      I know there's on more life in need
      I know there's one more heart that bleeds
      I didn't start the game
      But I'll loose it once again.
