# 16 Ein Mal im Nacht/Als ich nicht schlafen konnte

''Ich würde mir wünschen dass ich fliegen konnte..
Weg aus dem Grau - nach Inseln in Träume
Wo Felder von Blumen, tanzend im Wind,
Sorgen dass unsere Welt an Farbe gewinnt
Wo Vögel und Fische gemeinsam bestehen
Weil die Wellen in Wolken übergehen..
Und Strassen gemacht in seltener Pracht -
Gedanken von Glück bei einander gebracht -
Geschichte erzählen von Wonder und Licht
Und keinerlei Schatten vergiften mein'n Sicht,
das ganz ohne Zweifel und verkörperten Dicht
Meiner Welt der wahrsten Liebe entspricht...''

# 15 A Restless Heart

Whispers inside of me, in front and beside of me

Tugging at my sleeves, tugging at my hair

Clouds hanging over me, darkness controlling me

Tell me what is wrong, tell me if it’s fair

Nightmares are haunting me, echoes still taunting me

Accompany my pain for their selfish gain

Daybreak; it hides from me to places I can’t see

Leaving me to drown in my black domain...

What I'd wish...

I wish I could believe

that everyone would be able to conceive

The basic idea of

...love...

# 14 Once in October

Once in October you emptied your heart

Your voice was cold, like the wind

And your loving eyes turned dark

I never knew that you could change

But in truth, you're newly born

Because the one I loved before would never leave me; torn


And so I watch the leaves drift by

Upon an autumn breeze

My knees are weak and my tears flow freely

But never shall you witness my grief

I hold it safe inside my heart

Where it will surely burn

My lips are dry, my fingers numb

...awaiting your return


Yes, once in October there was this crazy dream

Of two souls that walked the same road

The course of shared ideals

I hadn't thought that it would be

Simply - just - and merely me

Who dreamt those dreams of make-belief

Our fairy tale is incomplete


But wings you gave me

Hope restored

After time passed I wanted more

And that was the moment

I started to fall

Helplessly wounded

I crawled to your door

My heart as just an ornament

Your eyes the sweetest of torment


It was once in October that I felt my wings come loose

And soon the ground started to shake

Humbled and hurt yet knowing I'd learned

The second I had heard my heart break...

# 13 Winter Guest

If I am fire
You are ice
At least that’s what you say

You live in darkness
I in light
But I’ll ask the stars to stay

If I am weak
And you are strong
According to your heart

Then who is right?
And who is wrong?
If behind the curtains of the dawn
My dreams and I won’t part?

# 12 The Waiting Game

I stand still

I stand alone

With shadows lurking in my eyes

The tears I've shed, filled with regret

Won't bring comfort to this unholy night


I breathe deep

I breathe carefully

I'm sure that if I'd forget my manners - my heart couldn't take it

And I wish not to break it

So, I wait... I wait

Although I hate

This nothingness

This lack of fate

I have to own

I have to try

But now.. I'm just waiting

For my time...
