Make me Whole Again

the shuffle of the trains calls out your name
the flowers bend their heads as if to say where have you been
i turn another page
the pages part
whereas they lay together at the start
and i the empty reader feel the same
oh they ache to tell their story in my name

chorus:
and they say please make me whole again
fill this hollow in my heart
i watch them sigh as they tear at my heart
tear at my heart when i cry

the railway station bleeds when you're gone
the echo in my head goes on and on
i follow down this path
where it reaches the horizon
to reunite these lovers in the evening
when they lie down

chorus

So i turn another page my friend
the pages find each other in the end
like us they meet again
a happy ending to their pain
until they realise that they're not happy where they stand
and so they start to recollect the memories they can't forget
like us they need a focus to their sorrow

chorus
1000 Beginnings

here i stand in silence
waiting for the boats to fill
up on the horizon 
thats where they will disappear
still i dont understand
why u didnt even say a word
i held mine back as well
afraid that i might break the spell

ref
so i cling to my illusions
hoping they might soon be true
i might wait forever
but i guess thats up to u
while the sky waits till tomorrow
i might just as well be gone
of the 1000 beginnings
i shall choose the morning one


and the wind calls out with laughter
at my girls' naivity
and my dreams they blush in shame
even i think im insane
i ask myself why 
dont u just once make a move
and prove that i might be a fool
but a fool in love with u

dont ever go

did u see me looking lost
u said to me when i was just about to fall for u
just a sea to fly across
and all the love songs make me
long, long for u

chorus
dont ever go

i feed the pidgeons with my love
but i turn silent if anyone dares cross the line
still i know if push comes to shove
im gonna take that step it takes to call u mine

i tend to turn in my sleep
fall from one nightmare to another
thats how it is
10000 feet above the ground
i fall again and awake
but ive been waiting for this

marianne

i met her once upon a time
she caught me when i caught her eye
i listened to her wicked rhymes
and loved her for her crazy lies

we danced upon a rope on fire
not thinking of the fall
lying down beneath the grass
and hoping we could save just one moment
before it was gone

marianne will never fly
marianne will never know what it means to fly

with the changes autumn brings
and with the sighing of the wind
marianne says goodbye
prepairing for a better life

i never thought i could be afraid
of the thought that she might leave
i thought i knew her by her song
but everytime i thought
i could reach her
she was gone

sweet are the sounds

now i know
that u suffered far too much
but if u let me heal ur wings
the wounds dont hurt as such
dont let no greedy enemy
turn the light out in ur heart
ur much to sweet to suffer from
the sunburn of a lost love

sweet are the sounds
that echo in my mind
slowly grows the feeling
that ive known u all my life
then there another melody joins in
ur lovely voice sings harmony
to everything im in

what they say can only be half true
love is just a little bird 
and not a big balloon
the fires are burned out by now
and now its just a flame
a little light to light our way
long as we are in the game
