Gone Forever
03:14

I've been dreaming too much, I've been thinking too much
I've been wasting my precious time
I've been dreaming of you, I've been thinking of you
Longing for your touch
I've been a foul for you, just for you
Wasting my precious time
And now that I know that you're gone forever
I'm sort of relieved as well
Makes me wondering why
I really thought that you would be here forever
Has it all been a ly
Or am I learning something clever
It's been quite a ride, I've had some lonely nights
But now I can't say I regret it
It's been worth the time, considering all
Although there've been quite some gruesome moments
I've been a foul for you, just for you
Wasting my precious time
And now I know that you're gone forever

I've been driving all night long
I've been pushing the limits and now it is dawn
Gonna see this sweet lady
Gonna take her by surprise
Gonna see this sweet lady
She won't expect me, so I'd better knock twice
On the highway I was feeling alright
But now I'm moving closer, start to feel uptight
I'm on my way to you
And now I'm thinking what to do
If you don't want to meet me
If we don't get along
If I have nothing to tell you
If we just don't get along
But now there's no excuse left
To turn around once again
Baby, baby, now we met it sure feels fine
We've been talking all day long, walking along the Rhine
Baby, baby, now we're sitting in the car
Moving back to the city, the distance seems so far
You smile at me, I smile at you
And there's nothing we need to do

Just For Me
03:38

When I see that smile on your face
I realize that it's just a phase
You're going through these different stages
And I am not involved at all
When your eyes have this darkish glare
I'm afraid that you don't care
You're all alone in your secret world
Where everything must be so dark
But there's always a moment that the door is wide open
And you take a step just for me
Just for me
So careless and free
Forgetting yourself
Just for me
And then comes yet another phase
And I will try to give it a place
You're just going through the motions again
Barely aware of what's going on

Everytime I'm hearing you say
That you're going to make a difference
I'm trying to figure it out
What you're on about
What makes your world go round
I don't have no ground to stand on
My life's nothing but a rimple like and no more
My doing's just a cat's paw on the water
I'm living on the surface of this void
But we gotta keep going on
We're trying to make the best of it
And I can't deny I'm feeling fine
it's not that my life is over
It's just that I can't see
The point of making it more than it is
I prefer to be a bubble
On the surface of het sea

Somewhere hidden deep down in our broken hearts
Under a pile of pieces, left-overs from the past
There's a space that can't be filled
That can't be lost
It's the part of us that can heal us
We tend to forget about this place
We tend to fixate on what's in front of us
But what really matters is embracing us from the back
And despite all the pitfalls
And despite our perpetual betrayal
All the mistakes, the stabbing in the back,
The worship of a God that doesn't exist
All the misery that we created ourselves
There will always be the healing silence of the heart
The secret that has always been there

Riding On A Prayer
03:35
|

Sunday morning, late out of bed
Making me a breakfast, taking time to read the paper
I don't want to think of Monday
I forgot about Saturday
I'm walking on a tightrope, trying to keep on going
Thinking of quitting for quite some time
But I know I'll keep on going
I'm riding on a prayer
It''s keeping me going
It's keeping me straight in line
I'm still hoping to find a better way again
To make my living easy, to find a way out of here

Beggar

Baby, baby
Why don't you show me your home
Why don't you take me, take me in the warmth of your home
I've been walking in the rain for far, far, far too long
Baby, baby
Why don't you give me a sign
Why don't you want me, why don't you take me inside
I've been walking in the rain for far, far, far too long
Troubles in the city, troubles in our hearts
When we don't come together soon
You urge everybody to make a move
So why don't we start with me
You know all the pitfalls, you know me so well
I shouldn't beg you to let me in
But the rain keeps on falling, I'm cold to the bone
Why don't you show me some mercy

Before It's Too Late
03:59
|

There's a dark sky above us
The signs of a storm
The signs we should take more seriously
Now we still got the time
To take the right precautions
But it seems that we prefer
To go ahead the same way
Straight to a total destruction
Of the world that we live in
Of the world that we need to survive
The sky is turning black
And the storm starts to build up
There's nowhere we can hide
Even our hearts seem to be dark
We seem to have lost what makes us human
We need to make it, make it better
We need to make a change, change the world right now
Before it's too late we need to change our ways
We need a change before it's too late

Tough Mean Little Lady
03:40
|

I know this woman, she's a natural beauty
She's a stunner without even knowing
When you see her
It will knock you down and out
When her green eyes gaze at you, you will feel so alive
When she's dancing she touches the sky
And her hips make me feel nauseous
When you see her
You'll understand what I mean
When her lips start talking to you, you will feel so alive
But she ain't aware of what she does
She's just a tough mean little lady
