Wish I could, simply have looked away It would have been so much easier that way As it was, I stayed where you I found Wished my soul away on consecrated ground Faith, you can forget it Hope, will have to do, for me But if you asked of me, What nobody should ask of me Then I'd say yes I'd pull the walls down, let the roof fall Somehow I would find the strength For you, just say the word Simple words, small talk, the time of day I knew that soon it would take you away To the house standing by the shore And from there, to where you were before Faith, you can forget it Hope, will have to do, for me But if you asked of me, What nobody should ask of me Then I'd say yes I'd pull the walls down, let the roof fall So ask of me what nobody should ask of me And I'll say yes I'll pull the walls down, let the roof fall An broken shell I'd give to you Oh, just say the word

Too Late 03:21
Please don't think that I've forgotten The here and now, it just means nothing Don't judge me by the things I have to do Take a walk out on the long sands There you'll find me looking for the man Who stood here, hopeful, once before And all the time I had been thinking He was already dead, and it's too late, too late But now I'm not so sure Please don't wait with expectation There may not be an explanation The sun may rise or not, I couldn't say Getting by, or going insane The choice makes little difference these days But I cannot perceive another way And all the time I had been thinking It was all in my head, and it's too late, too late But now I'm not so sure Now I'm not so sure, I may just want, or need For you to have to save me after all Now I'm not so sure, I may just want, or need For you to have to save me after all And all the time I had been thinking It was all in my head, and it's too late, too late But now I'm not so sure

Asia, South-East, least I think it so I've never been, so how could I know Conference there, and I'm not alone Wondering how to cast the first stone Beautiful you, beautiful you And when I see you There'll be cold on the seventh floor Ice will have formed Have to break it once more I'll wish I could close my eyes And sleep and dream, sleep and dream Breakfast for two, and then a stroll Cool morning sun, on the dusty road Telephone call, bad news on the phone Closer, how close, do I dare to go? Beautiful you, beautiful you And when I see you There'll be cold on the seventh floor Ice will have formed Have to break it once more I'll wish I could close my eyes And sleep and dream, sleep and dream Water ahead, all across the road Feeling the heat, know I have to go Climb the earth wall, to the paddy field And when I see you There'll be cold on the seventh floor Ice will have formed Have to break it once more I'll wish I could close my eyes And sleep and dream, sleep and dream

If truth be told There is really nothing more for me to say The page is turned, the chapter's closed Up to the line Now I'm standing waiting for the words I've feared so long, I'll hear them just one time I don't feel sad, don't feel anything at all But I know this is my final letter home I want you to know I won't look back There is really nothing to go back to Once it's done, it's done for sure, I'm sure So just look forward To daylight, now the end can't be so far And I have waited long enough I don't feel sad, don't feel anything at all That's for you to feel, when this arrives back home Will you feel angry, or feel a sense of loss And will you forgive my final letter home I just don't know I don't feel sad, don't feel anything at all But I know this is my final letter home And now I must go

By the water, people bustle around me Under clear skies, and the calmest of blue seas But the fog in my mind, blocks my vision behind How I came here And I'm leaving my baggage on the shore I won't shoulder its burden anymore There's a place I must find, where the watching are blind To my time here What I built with my own hands I knocked down with my own hands In a moment it's lost, and the threshold is crossed And I knew then they'd find me And I knew then they'd take me Take me down So goodbye my new world On the ocean, no cloud stalks the blue I don't look back, the horizon holds my eye And the fog in my mind, blocks my vision behind How I came here As we're landing, my baggage waits for me Without warning it has traversed the wide sea There's no place I can find, where my own eyes are blind To my time there What I built with my own hands I knocked down with my own hands In a moment it's lost, and the threshold is crossed And I knew then they'd find me And I knew then they'd take me Take me down So goodbye my new world

Cabin Fever 03:30
Don't call out for rescue, there's no escape for you You're staying here with me, oh lucky you! I've got you right where I want you, you're stuck with me And I with you, though I hate you We're staying together, together alone No cure for our fever, there's no cure for our fever No cure for our cabin fever This is a life sentence, let there be ne pretence Of earlier release, oh lucky you! You've got me, but you don't want me, to be myself You want me, ever so different, so much more compliant To hear you alone No cure for our fever, there's no cure for our fever No cure for our cabin fever
