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

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

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

Fog in the air

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
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

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?
