Just Say The Word

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

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

And When I See You
03:21
|
|

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

Final Letter Home
02:34
|
|

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

Goodbye New World
03:08
|
|
||
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
