Breathtaking Blue

Oh, i love to dance
Under an alien sun
Along the dunes with you, i kiss you in the sand
We give so that we live
Beside the sleepy snakes
They dream of you and me when will they ever end

For a million years they dream
For a million years they dream
And the fog conceals and hides and eats our souls
Before they open up their eyes again
How far we'll be
Remember me

Won't stop loving you, although it seems to be
Our time is running out, i'm leaving you behind
No matter what they say, we'd never meet again
Our love is bigger than our lives

And we know that yesterday
The moon was brown
And that today it is black
And that tomorrow it is red
And we know that when we go to the sun
The moon comes along
(hello there!)
And the cows in the pasture graze
And we know that we know what we know
Is it truth?




Diamond, gold/1988

She's like a frostfern in my head
The lamplight burns my eyes and then she fades away
My pencil's frozen in my hand
And the letter i can't write, it seems to be a desert without end
I woke up late at night
She called me up then disappeared
And the echo of her voice filled the empty places in my dreams
With the silent tide

She fades away
Again
She fades away
She fades away again,
Don't go now, please stay

My senses are cruising through a void
As pale reflections play on the deserted road
I hear a humming of machines
A distant sound like thunder
Crawling through the cold
There's no escape, i know,
I run around in circles without end
And the more the memory grows
Dissolving from reality
With the silent tide
She fades away...
...don't make me cry

This time, i've got to learn
I know, she won't return



Gold/1985

There's a boy with a little black dog
There's a boy with a little black dog
And he looks at his watch for a while

And the falling years wash away his make up
And the falling years wash away his make up
Just like rain on the fading snow

He's a lonesome streetside romeo
You can see him from your window tonite
This world's a devided place, you know
He's awaiting you
We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your window tonite
We all change our points of view sometimes
We're awaiting you

All the boys are locked in a fortress
All the girls are locked in a fortress
Just because it's a crime it could be, it could be
Flesh and blood in iron and steel
Flesh and blood in iron and steel
Just because it's a crime it could be, it could be

We're all lonesome...

Gold/1987

At the edge of the moon there's a lonely man
And he blows on his horn as strong as he can
And the girl at the bar wipes the breath of winter away with a smile of her face
And a little black dog barks along with a loon
Is this my appointment or did i come too soon
Got a strange invitation for tea time 'twas given by somebody i can't recall

It's the middle of the riddle, it's not very serious
It's nothing but a big surprise
And the president's horse is a rabbit of course that is living in a big boy's mind
Living in a big boy's mind

And i skate on a knife on a wire
That is strung from this song to a distant shore and then i say
Intuition is just another phase of chance
While we're crawling through the old pyramid's floors
(little pharaohs)
And the little black dog, here it comes again
It's a true companion in a foreign land
On a quest for the valley of boojums and birthdays and phonecalls i cannot recall

All of man shan't talk to the one at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no one, shall talk to no one at all
(rule 42)
And a horse is a rabbit of course
(yes, indeed)
Yes, a horse is a rabbit of course

Gold/1988

All i want is you, don't you know that
Forever loving you, don't you know that it's true
I'm leaving you tonight but don't listen if they say
That we'll never meet again in the land of make believe
We cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells
They put on us, my love
We're far out of their reach, a million years ahead
They never understand the mysteries of love

Here's the mysteries of love
Give your body to the mysteries
Tear down your uniforms
Here's the mysteries of love

All i want to be, don't you know it
All we wanna be is free like the birds of the sea
We kiss the last good byes and are sailing with a smile
'cross the iron borderline that butterflies despise
We cannot lose at all
Breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love
Forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead
They'll never understand
The mysteries of love
