brown eyed boy & rock’n’roll
brown eyed boy
born way too late
to be around
in ‘58
never been to memphis
never seen the king
still all shook up
changed everything
songs of love, songs of hate
songs of hour getting late
songs of sin, songs of grace
put the smile back on his face
long haired men
with worn out jeans
the house was torn
to smithereens
sang about something
he hardly understood
but brown eyed boy
was gone for good
songs of love, songs of hate
songs of hour getting late
songs of sin, songs of grace
put the smile back on his face
all the laughter
and the tears
sounds still ringing
in his ears
maybe it did
save his soul
brown eyed boy
and rock’n’roll
songs of love, songs of hate
songs of hour getting late
songs of sin, songs of grace
put the smile back on his face
devil and the heavy load
I came across the devil
when I was walking down this road
he said hey you man
why you carry such a heavy load
thanks for asking mr. devil
but this load ain’t mine to keep
I’ll just carry it awhile
so don’t you lose any sleep
so I walked on by
I don’t know why
I kept on walkin’ another mile
the devil said to me
when I was walking down this road
won’t you do yourself a favor
and let go of that heavy load
I beg your pardon
but the thing is that I have no choise
I’ve got a brother in trouble
and I guess it’s one of your boys
so I walked on by...
devil was laughing
when I was walking down that road
you look pretty damn stupid
when you carry that heavy load
I said c’mon mr. devil
it’s been one hell of a day
so won’t you step aside please
I don’t believe in you anyway
so I walked on by...
lady luck
lost my keys
I can’t get in
this battle
I just cannot win
a man who’s just
about to weep
with promises
he could not keep
I’m running circles
here & there
but I’m not getting
anywhere
thousand deals
are all undone
my plans are failing
one by one
there must be something in my genes
can you tell me what it means
wake up call for lady luck
guide me please I need you now
time to show me what you’ve got
I’ve drifted much too far somehow
I try so hard to be a man
and I’m doin’ all I can
though it may not be a lot
I give you all the love I’ve got
there must be something in my genes
can you tell me what it means
wake up call for lady luck
guide me please I need you now
time to show me what you’ve got
I’ve drifted much too far somehow...
last ones
hot ashes in the wind
the cities trashed and burned
too late to make a change
the lesson remains unlearned
one woman and one man
walking hand in hand
one woman and one man
in this broken land
he turns to her: my darling
sky is crying acid tears
won’t you be with me and love me
we may be the last ones here
we may be the last ones here
the end came with no warning
it left without goodbyes
all was gone forever
the blood red sun did rise
one woman and one man
walking hand in hand
one woman and one man
barefoot in the sand
he turns to her my darling
sky is crying acid tears
won’t you be with me and love me
we may be the last ones here
we may be the last ones here
oh the poison waters
wash away the sorrows
oh the poison waters
will there be tomorrow
he turns to her my darling
sky is crying acid tears
won’t you be with me and love me
we may be the last ones here...
until the end
silence, early morning
everything is still
I can see the first rays
on my window sill
I’m lookin’ at the skies
I’m waitin’ for the rain
tall trees on the green grass
I’m alive again
won’t you stay with me my friend
stay with me until the end
won’t you stay with me my friend
stay with me until the end
silence, early morning
everything is still
I can see the first rays
on my window sill
please don’t let me wake you up
before the rain
I’ve got all I need
and I’m alive again
won’t you stay with me my friend
stay with me until the end
won’t you stay with me my friend
stay with me until the end
light of my life
I picture perfect moment
holding you close to me
your breath is sweet
I’m just inhaling you
every little thing is
the way it ought to be
I’m rising higher
to the skies of blue
light of my life
won’t you shine down on me
light of my life
may you shine eternally
to my poor weary soul
you hold all the keys
with love so strong
it still sweeps me off my feet
you make me feel
warm as the summer breeze
my whole heart is melting
it is so complete
light of my life
won’t you shine down on me
light of my life
may you shine eternally
you shine like a sun
baby you’re the one
you shine like a sun
for me
Halfway there
there’s a hole in my heart
and a hole in my shoe
in the break of dawn
I think of you
highway is long
longer than I knew
in the morning rain
I think of you
chilly wind is howlin’
it’s a cold and lonesome sound
and the two-lane blacktop
knows exactly where I’m bound
if this big ol’ road will lead me
far away somewhere
you can always call me
and I’ll meet you half way there
too early to return
much too late to cry
so I’ll just watch
as the world goes by
time is draggin’ slow
days seem likie years
rain on my face
feels like tears
Let’s make one thing clear
I sit down at the kitchen table
tired eyes are tryin’ to meet the morning
I see through the dirty window
the winter’s almost gone and with no warning
and let’s make one thing clear
I love you
baby you better believe
it’s true
you walk into yhe room and then you
say it’s going to be a nasty weather
I think to myself I’m lucky
that we somehow ended here together
and let’s make one thing clear
I love you
baby you better believe
it’s true
the sweetness of your voice is soothing
your eyes they shine like thousand stars before me
you make me laugh when times are hard
and after all these years you’ve never bored me
and let’s make one thing clear
I love you
baby you better believe
it’s true
you keep me warm
like a blanket from the cold
with a woman like you
I’m not afraid of gettin’ old
and let’s make one thing clear
I love you
baby you better believe
it’s true
writer’s block blues
now the only way is up
it’s obvious I cannot stop
not until I reach the top
of this mountain
my weary brains refuse to think
beside the rusty kitchen sink
my lips are dying for a drink
from this fountain
carry me home with that song
carry me home where I belong
with that song
is it possible to find
some kinda peace of mind
I feel I need to rewind
I’m goin’ nowhere
no time to pick & choose
running with my broken shoes
try to lose some of these blues
on the way there
carry me home with that song
carry me home where I belong
with that song
forgot how to do my thing
to make the drunken choir sing
to make the bells of freedom ring
hey where’s my way
wondering who I really am
and do I really give a damn
I hear the music thank you mam
you saved my day
carry me home with that song
carry me home where I belong
with that song
if you had known
from the womb to your grave
life goes by so fast
a certain something you crave
a recollection from your past
it was meant to be
funny how you didn’t see
she would’ve cared for you
she would’ve been there for you
if you had known
if only you had known
she carved your name to her soul
in the alley that night
more than a kiss that you stole
in the pale moonlight
broken heart never mends
true love never ends
she would’ve cared for you
she would’ve been there for you
if you had known
if only you had known
your hand on the phone
you hesitate
thinkin’ if she’s alone
thinkin’ if it’s too late
one thing in your mind
how the hell you were so blind
she would’ve cared for you
she would’ve been there for you
if you had known
if only you had known
piece of heaven
love is our religion
the river runs
true believers
the chosen ones
gods are smiling
at you and me
as we lay naked
as we lay free
this night is yours
this night is mine
our piece of heaven
and a glass of wine
you say you love me
I have no fear
cos’ nothing can harm me
now we are here
and if the world should end
on a night like this
there’d still be time
for a one last kiss
this night is yours
this night is mine
our piece of heaven
and a glass of wine
few moments
the sun’s about to rise
I don’t want to let go
you have such pretty eyes
this night is yours
this night is mine
our piece of heaven
and a glass of wine
I lay you down into my arms
I hear that old familiar song
with all the words we don’t understand
a foreign place we don’t belong
something in the way you hold my hand
I lay you down into my arms...
scorching sun upon our heads
there’s so much things we want to do
still we stay inside instead
there’s a salty taste all over you
I lay you down into my arms...
above the sea the summer sky
we get to know each other inside out
we miss our home, the days go by
still we have a lot to laugh about
I lay you down into my arms...
