ONLY SEEN MY FACE I can’t take another room, I can almost hear the sun And feel the burning hours Well I hope you save my place, and I hope you know my face And that the lines don’t matter It’s another afternoon, and the day can’t come too soon When we can step outside Tired of hearing people say, this is the way, this ain’t the way The ringing’s getting louder I can’t take another room, I can’t write another song I can’t go another day, having only seen my face Can you hear me calling? Do you know what’s going on? Dreamed I heard you knocking And I had no strength to open Every day it’s clouds of grey, Every morning hesitates To light the sky on fire I'll be waiting night and day, for however long it takes I'll keep the flame alive I can’t take another room, I can’t write another song I can’t go another day, having only seen my face I can hear you calling,I don’t know what’s going on Dreamed I heard you knocking, But I have no strength to open The noise runs deep inside, the news disturb my mind I open up the window, I try to catch the light You know it's not easy to fight fear eternally All the bravest spirits must agree Can you hear me calling? Do you know what’s going on? Dreamed I heard you knocking And I was trying to open Dreamed I heard you knocking And I found the strength to open

LEAVING YOU MY SOUL I'm leaving you my soul Don't you worry, it belongs here Please sorry if I am Miles from nowhere once again Any time's the rightime, any time of day Doesn't matter, what is coming next Doesn't matter, cos’ I'll be there I'm leaving you my soul I don't need it any longer I am curious to see Where I'm going, where I am Any time's the rightime, any time of day Doesn't matter, what is coming next Doesn't matter, ‘cos I'll be there ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm leaving you my soul I don't want it, you know I'm traveling light I am still here today, but tomorrow I'll be somewhere else Maybe in the shoreline in the light of day In the laughter of a longtime friend Take my soul and I'll be there

AIN’T GOT NO TIME You ain't got no time, but you keep on doing Everything they want you to do Through other minds you keep on thinking Everything you'd wish to be true You ain't got no love, you ain't got no mercy You don't mind what happened at all You’ve got a call, but nothing to say All the beauty fades away All the beauty fades away I ain't got a nest, I ain’t got no time to rest In my childhood there were no birds I'm in a hurry, I'm not cheating In my dreams I hear them sing I don't care the spring is coming and the sun will kiss the fields Please don't worry about anything, I'm the drifter, can't you see? Just the drifter, can't you see? I'm leaving for the country, so are you Even if it's raining I'll stay true You ain't got no words, you ain't got no answers You just say what I've said before I'm in a hurry, I'm not cheating In my dreams I hear them sing I've been walking, and I've been crawling I've put my feet right into the sea You ain't got no time, no real excuses Won't you come to see me there? Won't you come to see me there?

IN THE AFTERNOON Nobody has come, who I gotta call? Tell the people where I am The air was hot on my first day out of prison Made a call to hire a room In the afternoon We all leave scars, like a falling star Make his way across the plains Yes I read the news, I'm wondering who's doing all the talking As she's walking down the stairs In the afternoon I can take you with my weary hands I can't get you off my mind See the people with their weeping eyes Praying at the moon, in the afternoon, in the afternoon I go ----------------------------------------------------------- I can take you with my weary hands I can't get you off my mind See the people, don't you see them smile? Watching at the moon, in the afternoon, in the afternoon I go

Hurry up 03:40
HURRY UP Please hurry up, I'm feeling down No one’s moving and I really need to go There are no places left to hide No rock, no roll, no corners left unturned Uh uhhhh! Well, open up the window, we'll fly away They’re looking down, no one will ever need to know Where the winds come greet the birds, nice place to go I’ll sing a song that no one’s heard before Uh uhhhh! Hurry up, I'm headed down Catch my fall, fly me high They’ll never find us above the lights No parking tickets in the clouds -------------------------------------------------------------- We’ll find the calm where it’s preparing for the storm Won’t come down until the lightning strikes and thunder roars Above the rooftops we’ll see them go Hurrying nowhere, all eyes facing front Uh uhhhh! Hurry up, I'm headed down Catch my fall, fly me high They’ll never find us above the lights No parking tickets in the clouds

GREAT CREATION I can't stand it Anymore I just want to hear your song I just want to Hear my song From you I'm singing too Give me some water For the road Light me a cigarette To melt the snow Bring me anything To resist without you Someday I’ll place Your great creation On the wall I can't stand it anymore, it's true I can't be here all the time I can't hold it all night long I'm not pressing on I'm just close to you Oh soon I’ll place Your great creation on the wall I can't stand it anymore, it's true Your great creation on the wall I can't stand it anymore, it's true

RAIN OR SHINE My dear recent ghost Let me see the lights behind the door Life screams at me I’m short of gasoline Can’t find my stop I hear the regret It’s right there on the wrong side of the wall The sink sinking in The water running out The night a blur Oh, walking the line, I can’t, I can’t cut it I fall back and kneel and stand up Come rain or shine, gotta, gotta walk it Running on excuses Scheming in cups Looking like myself when we were young The times I resist The glass it smiles at me But then it cracks Oh, walking the line, I can’t, I can’t cut it I fall back and kneel and stand up Come rain or shine, gotta, gotta try it Running out of answers ------------------------------------------------------------- Come rain or shine, come on, gotta ride it I fall back and kneel and stand up Come rain or shine, gotta, gotta fight it So far I’m still standing
8.
FOG IN THE AIR There's a lot of fog in the air Please take me to the very end I roam in desperation, I walk in all directions but 'Round the same old place No one cares for nobody else They just fear to fight themselves I have an odd sensation, I have no consolation, babe At the break of the day Tell me what you're looking beyond Where's the sign that I'm waiting for? In times of simulation, I got stuck long before Could it be the fog? People dream of what is real From my window l can see How it all disappears Every day I try again A way out is all I defend Unknown constellations, I’m on the right direction I’m just getting there ------------------------------------------------------- I woke up again in the same old town And I don't know who's coming around In times of great confusion you need little solutions but These can't be found Don't you really think it would be too late? Oh baby, I'm inside, don't come back this way I roam in desperation, I run in all directions At the break of the day I roam in desperation, I have no consolation, babe At the break of the day I roam in desperation I walk in all directions now 'Round the same old place

DRIVIN’ NORTH Drivin’ north, drivin’ north, drivin’ north to the city Here I come, here I go, singin’ the city blues Fight or flight, black or white Coming back to the city When I’ll go, I don’t know But maybe this time I’ll stay In the night of flashing lights There’s no fear and there’s no fight And you’re far enough, far enough from me Drivin’ home, drivin’ home, drivin’ home to the city Here I am, here I go, walking them city streets Look around, settle down, no way around the city Turn it up, cut it out, bad news again today In the night of flashing lights There’s no fear and there’s no fight And you’re far enough, far enough from me Far enough, far enough to feel, to feel Come on in, leave it out, go where the sights are pretty When you find peace of mind, show me the place to go Many say, stay away, there’s troubles in the city But I never knew a place that feels so much like home Where the clouds and skyline fight I’ll be searching for what’s right And I’m tired enough, oh, tired enough to see When I’ve tried enough, tried enough, we’ll see, we’ll see, we’ll see ----------------------------------------------------------------- Where the clouds and skyline fight I’ll be searching for what’s right When I’ve tried enough, tried enough We’ll see, we’ll see, we’ll see Drivin’ north, drivin’ north, drivin’ north to the city Here I come, here I go, singing the city’s theme Fight or flight, black or white Rollin’ back to the city, watching ahead and looking behind And maybe this time I’ll stay

Rowdy boy 04:09
ROWDY BOY Don’t you hear the call out on the station? Must be the last and you don’t pay attention Come on rowdy boy, come on rowdy boy What else do you need? You did what you learned so like everyone else Destiny played with his losing hand Come on rowdy boy, come on rowdy boy You can even win Come on rowdy boy, you once had a dream Why you still walking down to misery? You got a new plan to show us your pain But if you succeed you’ll become your own slave Come on rowdy boy, come on rowdy boy We all feel ashamed How many fears fell on your shoulders? You blamed the world but you’re just getting older Come on rowdy boy, come on rowdy body Just try to forgive Come on rowdy boy, you once had a dream Why you still walking down to misery? Heading back to the edge of your grief Are you still waiting for a reason to reach out and find your liberty? You once had a dream Come on rowdy boy, don't stay at the station Oh I've seen in your eyes what you're looking for You're always out of my sight, just walking, walking straight To find your liberty Someone’s been seen out on the streets At the end of the night standing still
11.
Move around 02:53
MOVE AROUND If you gonna play de blues / if you please come on in Well it might be the last honey you’d agree I don’t need information, just to move around Come on try to hurt me, try to do it again For all that I have learned now I deserve to roam I’ve been asking where to go but she don’t know If you try to chase me you will chase just a dream Come on try to hurt me, try to do it again Isolation, is it good for me? I don’t need anything to set me free All I need is to move around Come on try to escape, try to do it again ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Recreation of the real world Maybe we are getting off the ground In the end we all move around Come on try to hurt me, try to do it again

INTO THE LIGHT In the fightin’, well, I had some troubles Everything you can think is what you face In that moment I believe in one of my travels Someone changed all the names of what you see Into the light of doubt, into the light I say What of this is not-a-falling from your trembling hands When I finally escaped, I got more troubles Everything I had to do was meditate Oh some men made me crazy, at least I think so When they changed what it was my only way Into the dark I dream, but in the light I say Who’s not in this endless race where nobody wins? I’ll keep on traveling, but in the night I wait Who can rest his weary feet at the end of the day? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got home again, but I found new troubles In the basement there’s no hope for us to feed But it won’t be too late, not this time again For I change myself to go the other way Into the light of doubt, into the light I say What of this is not-a-falling from your trembling hands I’ll keep on traveling, but in the night I wait Who can rest his weary feet at the end of the day?
