Isn't it strange how dreams fade and shimmer?”

Was this all some
Cry for love?
It's a cry for love:
Are you a victim of
That Money Bug
In your blood,
Mr. Shame?”

“When you want the score
When you need a helping hand
And you find closed doors
And you're back where you began
Keeping those secrets
Telling those lies…
Can anybody tell me
What's the big surprise?”

On a mystical sea…
A wishful emotion
A drop in the ocean
A hush in the air
You can feel anywhere
In the cool twilight
Of a tropical night…”

To see just what had become
The warm wind blows constantly…
Does the answer still blow:
Did you find your château
In that mediterranean fantasy?”

We are islands, and I need your light tonight…”

That we found just today
I was lost in the forest
And you showed me the way…”

I have already come;
'tis grace has brought me
Safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.”

And my soul she fills it.
Where once was a desert
Rivers now run, and my storms she stills it…”

Now I'm wrapped
In a sweet love's arms,
Reaching out for you…”

Suffer in hell
But you were too blind to tell!
Saved by a bell
Suffer in hell
And you made it through so well!”

“My moon shines so softly
On the hair of my killer
Pours flowers on his head
Help me, give him some shelter!
Come, lie by the river
Rest your head, don't you fear
Sleep softly, my baby
They won't find you here.”

“Something tells me how
Her bright blue eyes
Are smiling;
She turns her head and now
When she wants she denies him…”

“A restless flame
Someone calls your name
Through the empty hall
Casting shadows on the wall
In the sound of emptiness
Isolation
Nowhere left to run
Now the time has come…”

“Follow the light that glows
Through your bedroom window,
Tonight, the fading twilight.
There's a hollow deep in the woods,
Where you know you're crazy to go,
Not even meant to know there are…
Pictures in the dark, I see all around,
Voices calling underground;
And I'm watching the stars since the world was found…
One, two, three…”

On this small planet and who knows where…
But when it's strange and full of fear
It's nice to be on horseback.”

And you see the trees
Changing into green
The sun invites one
To be out in the open air.
When the sky is so blue, then,
Oh! Then I wish for so much!.”

Twisted 'round the smallest finger
Two burning eyes are tearing you apart
Turn your soul into a cinder!”

“How's it feel when
There's time to remember?
…Branches bare,
Like the trees in november.
Had it all,
Threw it all away;
Now's a time to walk away.”
