Rainbow Warriors - 2000 * (denotes that the song has been recorded)
© Rudi Enos / Luke Pepper 2000 - recorded Nov 2000
we teach the world we ease the pain
oh when we win we fight again
our hopes could not be
our hopes could not be - much higher
we sail the seas we sail the sky's
oh when we sing we're tuned to life
our hopes could not be
our hopes could not be - much higher
with rainbow and with fire
we sail into radioactive fire
we capped the well with all your sacrifice
we crossed the bridge that has stemmed from your hell
to build a rainbow world
to build a rainbow world
we heal the land we help the rain
oh when we win we fight again
our hopes could not be
our hopes could not be - much higher
with rainbow and with fire
we sail into radioactive fire
we capped the well with all your sacrifice
we crossed the bridge that leads into your hell
to build a rainbow world
to build a rainbow world
instrumental
we sail into radioactive fire
we capped the well with all your sacrifice
we crossed the bridge that leads into your hell
to build a rainbow world
we sail into radioactive fire
we capped the well with all your sacrifice
we crossed the bridge that leads into your hell
to build a rainbow world
to build a rainbow world
The Note – Marilyn *
© Rudi Enos / Luke Pepper 2000 - recorded Jan 2001
Marilyn - Marilyn the movie star
Followed the yellow brick bed to bars
A 'Sorry Song' takes you along to the day she shined
Marilyn the speeding car
Loved by the maddening crowd, loved too far
A 'Sorry Song' takes you along to the day she died
A final note from the bright star in our sky
A ray of hope but I can't see for the light
I’ve got a tear hanging over my beer
If I can't relate then I guess I'll just wait
If you can't decide then I'll call it suicide
It wasn't suicide
Marilyn, call it fate
Drown me in sorrow but don't be late
Let it go
And try to show
For you must return
A final note from the bright star in our sky
A ray of hope but I can't see for the light
I’ve got a tear hanging over my beer
If I can't relate then I guess I'll just wait
If you can't decide then I'll call it suicide
It wasn't suicide
I want you to understand me
I want you to be alive
I loved you so sweet as candy
Sick of tasting lies
I’ve got a tear hanging over my beer
If I can't relate then I guess I'll just wait
If you can't decide then I'll call it suicide
It wasn't suicide
Safe And True *
© Rudi Enos / Luke Pepper 2000 - recorded Feb 2001
original poem by Rudi © 1971
I feel your words
press hard against my heart
and somehow
things ain't quite so plain
because, as long as I had you
all things could be planned
for tomorrow
on demand
Thinking all the while
that as long as we had love
anything could be overcome
all the wrong could be undone
and each day
would bring a new sun
and each day
would bring a new sun
feel insecure
and just a little cold
and somehow
tomorrow is so old
yesterday was safe and true
nothing out of hand
for a lover
Ill be dammed
Thinking all the while
that as long as we had love
anything could be overcome
all the wrong could be undone
and each day
would bring a new sun
and each day
would bring a new sun
why should I look for tomorrow
when tomorrow never comes
Violence In The Head *
© Rudi Enos 2001 -
The weaker sex have got me down
I cant escape - I'm underground
I just got lost in a world of sound
Hurtin head inside me - running round
We got violence in the head - it’s a crazy world
Violence in the head – my lips are curled
My head aint right, it's full of sound
Violence in the head - all around
If God is woman it's no joke
She gave them all the bits I ever hoped
The cult of crazy is full of smokes
Full of crazy people - going for broke
We got violence in the head - it’s a crazy world
Violence in the head - my lips are curled
My head aint right, it's full of sound
Violence in the head - all around
Middle break
We got violence in the head - it’s a crazy world
Violence in the head - images uncurled
My head aint right, it's full of sound
Violence in the head
Violence in the head - all around
With thanks to Brian Aldiss 1925 - English science fiction writer
Barefoot in the Head (1969)
Crazy takes on crazy times
Always got those empires of the mind
The illusions try to trick me in line
Whip me into the daily grind
What Can You Lose
© Rudi Enos 2001 - not recorded
You can take what you want from me
You can take what you want from destiny
It all means nothing if you lose our love
The moon is full - if you want to break free
What have you got to lose
Nothing but fear, hate and jealousy
What have you got to lose
If you take the lead - try and break free
What have you got to lose
Fortune passes everywhere - is always free
You can take what you want from destiny
It all means nothing if you're in a trap
Even a god cannot change the past
What have you got to lose
Nothing but fear, hate and jealousy
What have you got to lose
If you take the lead - try and break free
What have you got to lose
Even a god cannot change the past
Even a god cannot change the past
Catwalk Queen
© Rudi Enos 2001 - not recorded
She's a Catwalk Queen, she's been on the scene
A long time now - I don't know how
She's a Catwalk Queen, she walks in a dream
A dream, a dream, a dream - she's a Catwalk Queen
She's a Catwalk Queen, walks for couturiers
She takes the voyeurs - and flashgun flares
She's a Catwalk Queen, floats down the stairs
She floats, she floats, she floats - she's a Catwalk Queen
Chorus
She walks, she walks, she walks - she's a Catwalk Queen
She walked across Europe, America and Japan
She walks for the money, she walks for the man
She'll crawl on her tummy, she'll crawl on her can
She walks, she walks, she walks - she's a Catwalk Queen
She's a Catwalk Queen, strange hands on her skin
Clothes that glow bright - a glow from within
She's a Catwalk Queen, a life full of lies
She smiles, she smiles, she smiles - she's a Catwalk Queen
Chorus
She walks, she walks, she walks - she's a Catwalk Queen
She walked across Europe, America and Japan
She walks for the money, she walks for the man
She'll crawl on her tummy, she'll crawl on her can
She walks, she walks, she walks - she's a Catwalk Queen
She's walkin for the man
She's walkin for the man
She's walkin for the man
Hiding In Shadows
© Rudi Enos 2001 - not recorded
Through long brooding nights and quick hot days
I found your soul - in so many different ways
And now its gone the world has lost it's sight
And the love my love has gone with the fading light
You guided the spirit you guided the soul, the days
I wound my heart - into your many different ways
Now you love me lost, you love me down
And the love my love has gone with the fading light
Hiding in shadows, running from the light
You taught the how, the why, the right
Building blocks that rose into the night
And after all the blindness, after all the night
Hiding in shadows, afraid again of the light
Though the bedroom lights are now turned away
I hide with my head - to the wall and pray
For a way to come back into the light
And the love my love has gone with the fading light
Gone with the fading light
And the love my love has gone with the fading light
Gone with the fading light
Gone with the fading light
We Share
© Rudi Enos 1995 - not recorded
we share the dream
the people we can be
we cling to the earth
the people we can touch
we share our dreams
not we in the earth
we share the dream
the earth in we
but if the earth you love is changing
and you want to leave something better
your ancestors knew you could change it
if only you thought you could
if only you thought you could
if only you thought you could
we share our dreams
the people we are
we bare our screams
the people we have been
the people we have been
the people we have been
II Just Need You *
© Rudi Enos / Luke Pepper 2001 recorded May 2001
original lyrics © Rudi Enos 1995
I don’t need love
To keep me strong
I don’t need love
To keep me young
I just need you
And that is all I want
I don’t need love
To keep me sane
I don’t need love
To pretend I'm game
I just need you
It’s sad because i want
Pre chorus
Loneliness…ain’t that the truth
Sorrow sweetly sinking through
Can’t deny…’cause you have proof
Is it better to be that way…heah
chorus
i want you to be…beautiful
i want you to be…so strong
i want us to be…together
yet not make a chain of love
chain of love…
I don’t need love
When things go wrong
I don’t need love
To write this song
I just need you
And that is all i want
Pre chorus
Chorus
Solo pre chorus
Chorus 2
When will we touch?
© Rudi Enos 1995
when are you going to come down?
from your cubic in the sky
when are we going to touch?
summer nights the sun comes down early
at six dark will fill the summer sky
yes, even rainbows in the sky
when will you speak my name
in my ear not in my head
when are we going to touch?
you built your house in the shadow of mine
locked the door except on-line
when will I feel you?
you take your joy in thought of my pain
I want you - again and again and again
when will I see you?
when will I feel you?
when will I see you?
when will we touch?
when will I feel you?
when will I see you?
will we touch? will we touch? will we touch?
when will we touch?
Chemical Soup
original lyrics © Rudi Enos 1995
we write poison letters to the sky
it seems that too many cooks
have spoiled the chemical soup
any time any place anywhere
used to mean that you didn't have to care
about using conceivable care
virus's thrive in the chemical soup
hydrocarbons bubble into the sky
where in the food chain are you and I?
a stitch in time could have saved the line
if passed from parent to child
the child now bears the cost
we missed natures wake up call
the genetic mix cannot be fixed
if you spoil the chemical soup
Chemical Soup
we missed the loop
(killed all genetic life)
chemical soup
we missed the loop
(killed all genetic life)
the genetic mix cannot be fixed
if you spoil the chemical soup
we spoiled the chemical soup
The Man Who Made His Dreams Come True
original lyrics © Rudi Enos 2001
He always was the quiet one
Who kept to himself in the old front room
For him it was a rainbow of light
That danced in his eyes and out of sight
And he dreamed of one day
Stepping out of the old front room
To try his hand at whispered dreams
That danced in to the fading light
One day he'll make them dreams come true
He'll make them shine, so strong so sure
One day he'll take them dreams and fly
One day he'll make them dreams come true
He'll make them ride, so straight so good
One day he'll take them dreams and fly
High in the fading sky
High in the fading sky
And still he dreamed of one day
All by himself in the old front room
Finding a soul to share all the dream
Who danced in his eyes and fade from sight
And he knows he can make them dreams
He can step out of that old front room
He knows he can find the one
And dance into the fading light
One day he'll make them dreams come true
He'll make them shine, so strong so sure
One day he'll take them dreams and fly
One day he'll make them dreams come true
He'll make them ride, so straight so good
One day he'll take them dreams and fly
High in the fading sky
High in the fading sky
High in the fading sky
High in the fading sky
Forever Changes
original lyrics © Rudi Enos 1974
Forever changes but little
leaving time enough for love
and as we are here
so the love, my love
Forever changes but little
leaving time to read enough
the poem changes with the reading
and the image with the time
Forever changes but little
leaving time enough for love
and as we are here
so the love, my love
There is little change in forever
love is timeless or so they say
yet forever must mean together
for ever and a day
Forever changes but little
except for perhaps love
but forever is not enough
even for love, my love.
Virtual Reality
original lyrics © Rudi Enos 1994
one day you may walk
into a crowded room
and you want to believe
it was good for you...
is it virtual reality
or is it the virtual now
do we rape a sacred secret
or milk the sacred cow
once upon a time
on planet earth
they took my head apart
without putting it back quite right...................
yet for what it's worth
the virtual now
with it's sacred cows
makes you want to believe
there was someone there
after all
in that empty room.....................
so was it real for you?
Indie Blues
original lyrics © Rudi Enos 2001
Independent thoughts and minds
Singing with indigo blue
It used to be easy to love you
Now its just the indie blues
Fields of Avalon
© Rudi Enos - not yet recorded
original lyrics © Rudi Enos 2001
I saw the kids in the night
With eyes that chill with awe
Michael's children of the fields
Who bring poetry and music alive
You can hear the spirits singing
Of the legends that were made
Of the flower people dancing
In Avalon mists and glades
Chorus
They bring their hearts and flowers
They bring the dreams and songs
They sing through nights of wonder
And the guns that still aren’t gone
They march through the fields of Avalon
They march through the fields of time
The children of the summer
And the green peace of summertime
I saw the lightning flashing
Its neon message in the sky
It’s the people who see the message
And bring Avalon's fields alive
They bring their hearts and flowers
They bring the dreams and songs
They sing through nights of wonder
And the guns that still aren’t gone
They march through the fields of Avalon
They march through the fields of time
The children of the summer
And the green peace of summertime
The children of the summer
And the green peace of summertime
Roll With It
When your down and out
If you don’t know where to go
You have to know its OK
You've got to get ready to roll
Don’t let them get you down
You know what they want of you
Your head can spin around
And you can chill if you want to
Chorus
You’ve got roll with it, roll with it
You've got to lay back and chill
You’ve got roll with it, roll with it
You've got to roll on down that hill
The Western Wall
© Rudi Enos - Jerusalem 1992
My hand brushed the rough dark rock
to feel the cold of the centuries there
the moment lasted half a year
and the darkness fell away..........
wailing, swaying, falling, away as dust
from the rock and it's patient wind of time...
they stand and weep, - they do.......
swaying in a prayer that survived
the waltz through the gates of hell
they looked at me as if I were
the ultimate voyeur .........
playing mind games with their emotion
they chastise with their eyes, - they do.....
I become a shadow in their fire
dust in their funeral pyre
swaying higher and higher
I am stardust in the winds of time - I am........
a wisp of smoke that holds the House of David
till the small paper messages
crack the rock .....
that quietly waits ......
in the desert
for the end of time.........
Surrealistic
original lyrics © Rudi Enos 2001
I'm standing in a pool of shadow
Running at the speed of night
I see the pirate, the judge, and the gallows
Who turned out the lights?
The minister for economic despair
Gave a dose of reality and endless pain
We nailed together the break of day
With booze and the tablets to keep me sane
chorus
The alien visitor asked us the way
The way and the truth and the light
Give peace a chance - the lord of the dance
Channel hop to my next new romance
Instant sunshine - encyclopaedia paranoica
I'm standing in a yellow bordello
I rolled out the grass and the rainbow army
Miami Beach Parade
© Rudi Enos 2001
She comes so slowly and chewing gum
The navels bouncing the jeans undone
The puppies are playing and having a fight
She’s up for it - Miami beach tonight
He’s kind a groovin and dancing along
The beach is a a' movin and proving too strong
The CK’s are shouting the shirt is cool
The shades are dazzling, the watch is jewelled
Chorus
They dance down the sidewalks
They’re hoppin’ to the beat
They’re walking along to the talk
An talking the talk in the street
They’re walking the walk
An talking the talk – on the beach
She comes so slowly and chewing gum
She looks pretty pricey and then some
He wants to take her along with him
If only he knew where she'd been
Chorus
They are dancing down sidewalks
They’re hoppin’ to the beat
They’re walking along to the talk
An talking the talk in the street
They’re walking the walk
An talking the talk – on the beach
On Miami Beach tonight
Painting Pictures With Words
© Rudi Enos 2001
The sun shines down on the man
He’s painting pictures with words
Even when your in his shadow
You learn not to be concerned
The mans got a real horizon
He paints the music he’s heard
When your hear in tomorrow
The music – the words – have returned
Chorus
He’s building words of wonder
He plays your emotions like a game
He’s frozen music of thunder
And when you think it’s all over
He’s painting pictures with words
Chorus 2
The story he tells, the picture he paints
The frozen music unveils the wonder he creates
Chorus
The wind calls down to him
He’s painting music with words
The wind is painting shadows
He’s left there crying unheard
Chorus
Chorus 2
Chorus
Free without you
© Rudi Enos 2001
Living a life in clubs and bars
You don’t often get to see
What can make a grown man cry
The truth doesn't make you free
It's cool to be the one in style
It's cool to make the grade
The job is a blow to a willing guy
Your fortunes made if your paid
An I'm free - without you
An I'm free - without your smile
An I'm free - to doubt you
Yeah I'm free - I don’t have to take you ‘high
You kept me here you kept me dry
With the demands you always made
But I can live without you here
And the demands you always made
An I'm free - without you
An I'm free - without your smile
An I'm free - to doubt you
Yeah I'm free - I don’t have to take you ‘high
The Greatest Story Ever Told
We never could find time in time
To live our dreams and themes
We only had to stand in line
Just ordinary human beings
We held a party and no one came
Met a star and could only stare
We're not numbers we have a name
The voices don't speak they swear
Chorus
We came in from the cold
We stopped growing old
We let our souls unfold
From a simple start we started to live
The greatest story ever told
Our love wasn't wild not mild
We believed in love if we tried
But we could dance in the wild
And somehow reached the sky
We came in from the cold
We stopped growing old
We let our souls unfold
From a simple start we started to live
The greatest story ever told
From simple beginnings we started to live
The greatest story ever told
The Worlds On Fire
Chorus
Its remarkable - its sensational
It makes the pain seem real
Everything that exists in life
Everything that makes me feel
The worlds on fire
World without end
The world is large enough to hold my love for you
When your hearts on fire
Cos the girl you want is gone
The pain can hurt so bad
But the world can still roll on
I surrendered my space
When I lent you my face
Soon we lay head to toe
And then I had to blow
Chorus
It used to be so easy
To meet the girl and run
The world the flesh the devil
But the world can still roll on
Chorus
Never Been In Love
The lady's got style and passion
She's in a world of her own
Sex never goes out of fashion
And she never goes out to phone
Chorus
She's been in lust, she's been in limbo
She's had the best and the worst
She's been in all kinds of places
But the lady's never been in love
Lust is one thing and love another
Friendship can have its place
But love is just a load of bother
Love can't have more than one face
Chorus
She's been in lust, she's been in limbo
She's had the best and the worst
She's been in all kinds of places
But the lady's never been in love
That's why I know she's not in love
Why she shouldn't see that boy
Oh to never have been in love
To have never had that joy
Chorus
She's been in lust, she's been in limbo
She's had the best and the worst
She's been in all kinds of places
But the lady's never been in love
Stranger On 42nd Street
I guess I'm just a bag man
Cos I've got my bags with me
forty second street is no place to call home
but it seems like home to me
The pizza's hot, the beer is cold
But at four am your cold and old
The hookers strut their stuff and rough it
But in forty second street it aint enough
Stranger on forty second street, the steam comes up beneath your feet
Stranger on forty second street, your always far from home
Sometimes you walk to a different beat
Twenty four seven your never alone
Lonely city, lonely streets
Manhattan walks to a different beat
Lonely city, lonely streets
The bars are where the city lives
The subway provides the sound
The neon provides the vision
The people don’t have a life style
They need to get a life
Stranger on forty second street, the steam comes up beneath your feet
Stranger on forty second street, your always far from home
Sometimes you walk to a different beat
Twenty four seven your never alone
New York City Blue
I'm walking down a quiet city street
It's a place that once used to be
The smoke and dust around at your feet
A new symbol of the land of the free
They bought a ticket to nowhere and rode a tube in the sky
They went to work as normal and didn’t ask to die
The prophets hand flew across the land
And flames and people fall out of the sky
Lonely city, lonely streets, the city walks to a lonely beat
Lonely city, lonely streets, the bars are where the city lives
Now it's another day in the life of many
And somehow the world still turns
The futures clear there'll be another year
And the flame still burns through my tears
And the flame still burns
And the flame still burns
And it stays in my heart for all time
New York's heart has stopped beating
The life still flows through the streets
The ones who have gone still live in the songs
And the pavement all around at your feet
Lonely city, lonely streets, the city walks to a lonely beat
Lonely city, lonely streets, the bars are where the city lives
Now it's another day in the life of many
And somehow the world still turns
The futures clear there'll be another year
And the flame still burns through my tears
And the flame still burns
And the flame still burns
And it stays in my heart for all time
New World *
All things change with passing time
With your lonely life and mine
Let us climb inside the Berlin wall
It's a different sort of place and time
Income tax and VAT
Have left their dirty mark on me
If we've got a life to live at all
We will find it in our destiny
chorus
(Don't let our love) - be lost in time
(Don't let the drugs) - be too unkind
(Just take a walk) - inside my mind
And leave the old world far behind
(Don't let our love) - be lost in time
(Don't let the drugs) - be too unkind
(Just take a walk) - inside my mind
And leave the old world far behind
All things change with passing time
With your lonely life and mine
Let us climb inside the Berlin wall
It's a different sort of place and time
Repeat chorus
Come with me don't stand in line
You know the way I lose my mind
Locked inside these distant prison walls
We really don’t have very far to fall
Solo
If we've got a life to live at all
We will find it in our destiny
chorus
She's Mine
I saw her first, you should have kept out
I saw her first, it was my first shout
You were half pissed, in a world of your own
It was me that she kissed, you who went home
Her mate wasn't fat, she was just a brat
If you think like that, your just a prat
chorus
I took her hand exactly as planned
I sent her email, how could I fail?
My scheme could work, especially with her
Now she has gone, where did we go wrong?
(both)
I saw her first
I saw her first
I saw her first
I saw her first
She walked out the door, still asking for more
If you'd left us alone we'd both not be alone
riff
We had the chance - to break the mould
Learn how to love - together grow old
We had the chance - to unlock the key
Start out as kids - grow old disgracefully
I saw her first, you should have kept out
I saw her first, it was my first shout
You were half pissed, in a world of your own
It was me that she kissed, you who went home
I saw her first
I saw her first
I saw her first
I saw her first
I saw her first
I saw her first
The Sweetest Love *
We take our time to love my love
The world is still we love our fill
It felt like gold so warm, so cold
And the memory’s with me still…..
The merest breath of hope my love
Can take me back to better times
I’m left alone a heart of stone
And the pain is a bitter wine…..
The sweetest love…..is the love that’s lost
The coldest heart…..is made but at what cost
Even when…..the pain is all but gone
The sweetest love is the love that’s lost
(sweetest love…..sweetest love…..sweetest love…..love…..love…)
In wildest dreams you wake and scream
You touch her face she isn’t there
It moves in space stays like a dream
And the love is still there my love
We take our time to love my love
The world is still we love our fill
It felt like gold so warm, so cold
And the memory’s with me still…..
Chorus
Burning fire was just desire……………….(repeat)
Burning love was just desire………………(repeat)
Burning fire was just desire……………….(repeat)
Solo
Chorus
The sweetest love was the love that’s lost
Don’t close your eyes tonight
If you close your eyes tonight
Is it me who you see there
You wave your hand in front of you
And try to brush my hair
If you raise a smile tonight
And think of absent friends
Think of me and see the light
Till the tears dry in the end
Don’t close your eyes tonight
Till you smile and think of me
Chorus
I wish you were here…..
To put your finger on my lips
Chase away the hidden fears
We could go on a thousand trips
I wish you were here…..
To give me one of those little quips
Imagine if you just appeared
Imagine if it was our relationship
If you wipe your eyes tonight
To dry a reluctant tear
See me wave my hand in front of you
And try to brush your hair
Don’t close your eyes tonight
Till you cry and think of me
Till you smile and think of me
The Other Side Of Starlight
We catch a dream, an in between
We sail a silver shadow
It’s a divorce between smooth and coarse
An indivisible yet whispering force
We had a time, a day, a rhyme
The starlight is ours forever
We travel time, a high sublime
Where the dreams are in defined
Chorus
You are all starlight, shimmering bright
I sail the silver shadow
Shimmering bright, the fading sight
It’s the other side of starlight
You talk of love and help from above
Till the shadows are shining bright
It’s the other side of starlight
Yet still we’ve been where the in betweens
Form the other side of love
Chorus
You are all starlight, shimmering bright
I sail the silver shadow
Shimmering bright, the fading sight
It’s the other side of starlight
Better Never Than Late
The girl just couldn’t help it
She just had to do it after all
She left me cold for a bucket of gold
She didn’t send a text or call
She thought she was the real thing
She danced the light fantastic
She left me cold till the Guinness was old
The bank was just empty plastic
chorus
It's better never than late
Reality is better than fate
If the Guinness is cold
You're younger than old
Your gone before you're back
And only here for the crack
It's better never than late
Destiny is just the name of a band
Living is a better deal than fate
The clock spins around the hand
It's better never than late
chorus
chorus
European Man *
The upper class can kiss my ass
I’ve got to admit I made it at last
My numbers up I’m set for life
I’m hanging on with all my might
The money’s good it rains like gold
They want to get in from out of the cold
They’re coming here from everywhere
Once their in, they haven’t a care
chorus
But the money won’t last forever
It’s got to run out one day
Let’s look out for number one
Has got to be the best way
Hold on to your ass while you can
If you want to stay a European man
There’s got to be a message
For those that want to get in
If you bite the hand that feeds you
Your gonna get the boot
Chorus
Hold on to your ass while you can
If you want to stay a European man
Chorus
European Man - ver 2 *
Your in my mind and still my girl
A doorway to a great big world
Your sweet perfume still leaves a trace
Your always in my favourite place
Out on the road in this great big world
I'm still your man - your still my girl
An unmade bed in an unmade town
Wishing you were somewhere around
chorus
But the money won’t last forever
We got make it someday
I know it's bad leavin' you back home
But it melts in the morning rain
Hold onto me girl, while you can
If you want me, rockin' and rollin'
If you want me, keep me going
If you want me as your only lovin' man
The upper class can kiss my ass
I’ve got to admit I made it at last
My numbers up I’m set for life
I’m hanging on with all my might
chorus
But the money won’t last forever
We got make it someday
I know it's bad leavin' you back home
But it melts in the morning rain
Hold onto me girl, while you can
If you want me, rockin' and rollin'
If you want me, keep me going
If you want me as your only lovin' man
I'm hangin on as long as I can
I'm hangin on as long as I can
I'm hangin on as long as I can
Ghostface Luke *
We were young
We were one
We had all that life could give
Then your gone
Just a song
Is all that I’ve got to give
When the early morning
Is still so long away
I see your face just like a ghost
And it won’t go away
Then your gone
Just a song
Is all that I’ve got to give
I was lost
I was blind
I don’t even want to live
When the early morning
Is still so long away
I see your face just like a ghost
And it won’t go away
I have seen
I have seen – your face
I have seen
I have seen – your face
Ghostface………………
We were young
We were one

Ghostface - Rudi *
We were young, we were one
We had all that life could give
Then your gone, just a song
Is all that I’ve got to give
When the early morning
Is still so long away
I see your face just like a ghost
And it won’t go away
I was lost, I was blind
I don’t even want to live
Then your face, just a trace
Of lost perfume to retrieve
When the early morning
Is still so long away
I see your face just like a ghost
And it won’t go away
I have seen
I have seen – your face
I have seen
I have seen – your face
Ghostface………………
Ghostface………………
We had love, from above
Our whole world was quite complete
All along-g, I was wrong
Why can't you come back to me
When the early morning
Is still so long away
I see your face just like a ghost
And it won’t go away
I have seen
I have seen – your face
I have seen
I have seen – your face
Ghostface………………
When the early morning
Is still so long away
I see your face just like a ghost
And it won’t go away
I have seen
I have seen – your face
I have seen
I have seen – your face
Ghostface………………
Ghostface……………… Ghostface………………
Heartbeat Drumbeat
(Drumbeat like heartbeat)
My-y heart beats like a golden drum
It’s a start of a long lost dream undone
A metronome without a home
A thought that's not yet come
Picture yourself in a long lonely canyon
A place where the echoes don’t go
I'm alone with my thoughts and anger
It's like a streetlight with no glow
Chorus
Take your time to think of me
When the shadows play with time
When you play with fire and then unwind
When the wind plays wild and free
Just stop………and think of me
The heartbeat plays a simple tune
An echo in a lonely room
The heartbeat fills your head with sound
The echo beats for you……….
My heartbeat plays it's lonely song
It beat for you all along
The Way Of The White Clouds
No lonely tear - can fill my eyes
No trembling fear - can cloud the skies
Deep inside I feel the disguise
An inner glow that just wont go
You are the light of my life
I want you to know I love you
To be thereat the end of day
The wind can touch but cannot affect
The sadness that tears soon betray
(your look as tears are wiped away)
You know I'll still be there when I'm gone
How could I leave you far behind
How can you know, which way to go
You'll make mistakes like us all, all in time
When your grown, your on your ownits hard
It's like living in an old hotel
Full of the good and the bad in life
The truth is, time alone will tell
Each day may start at the end of night
Days may come and the years may go
Your with me still through endless night
You are the light, the light of my life
You are the light, the light of my life
The world is still so complex……
Grains of sand - lines on hand
Sea on rocks - a bird that mocks
Love that's said - love in the head
A pebbled beach - just out of reach
The sun at dawn - a child that's born
The touch of stone - time on the phone
What comes unknown - time on your own
And the ocean that rolls on still
You are the light of my life……….
Break The Chain
We spend our lives building walls
We lost the chance to share
The sands of time move oh so fast
Most of the time - we don’t care
We lock the chains around ourselves
We lose the chance to rise above
The hands of time say now is the time
Tear down them walls and build the love
Chorus
Don’t build them walls - break the chain
When destiny calls - break the chain
The dance of life may call and call
You break the chains - tear down the walls
Break the chain - Break the chain
Break the chain - Break the chain
You break the chains - tear down the walls
We spend our lives building walls
We lose the chance to really share
The sands of time move oh so fast
Most of the time we don’t care
Chorus
Our own chains won't set us free
We need the chance to let us try
The sands of time move oh so fast
Break the chain and learn to fly
Chorus
Tear Down The Wall
We stand here on the edge of history
We only watch a-as time goes by
Church bells ring - what do they mean to me
In the streets the children tearful cry
The clouds hang low over proud Berlin
The war has left its mark in the streets
They grow dark as the years close in
And the future lo-ooks oh so bleak
Chorus
If you want to change the world don’t doubt
If you want to have a life at all
Lift the flag, lift your heart and shout
But most of all please tear down the wall
One day I know that we'll be free
I don’t know where, I don’t know when
We'll find peace and fulfil our destiny
And the human race ca-an grow again
Chorus
If you want to change the world don’t doubt
If you want to have a life at all
Lift the flag, lift your heart and shout
But most of all please tear down the wall
Chorus
Lyrics I have written with different songwriters
Writing and performing your own songs is one of the most rewarding exercises in my life. Collaborating with talented people is a real privilege.
