1.
A cold wind meanders and rains falling down,
My cat she observes as fairies dance round.
She looks surprised with her twinkling eyes,
Like two stars in heaven way up in the sky.
From the radio music flows in to my room,
A sunray of sound that lightens my gloom.
For a moment I feel you by my side so near,
Tried to touch your hand but you disappear.
It’s a sweet confusion, a trick of the brain,
Memories tied up to a golden chain.
Chorus:
Fish in the ocean in blue caves of slaughter
Wishing to fly, come hell or high water
Full of joy, a bird in the sky
Thinks it’s heaven but that’s a lie
Continuous change is the circle of life
Carves a winding path with a raging knife
2.
And the radio man says tonight it will freeze,
Expect fierce head winds, high swells and rough seas.
There's a snowstorm in Vera Cruz and the earth trembled twice,
Be safe on the road please take my advice.
Hazy tunes reveal a face in my head,
And the radioman in a thought full voice says,
I send you Chet Baker oh boy what a song,
It’s like a light breeze, a warm summer long.
Together we go all through the night,
And his trumpet will be our guiding light.
Chorus:
Fish in the ocean in blue caves of slaughter
Wishing to fly, come hell or high water
Full of joy, a bird in the sky
Thinks it’s heaven but that’s a lie
Continuous change is the circle of life
Carves a winding path with a raging knife
3.
I hope it’s enough to heal my heart,
At least it’s a lighthouse, a navigational chart.
It leads to my love, we'll be united again,
Pure happiness that wipes out my pain.
But maybe I find out too much's changed in my head,
and I look back and say enough I have bled.
I dream of blue oceans never ending wide,
Of crystal-clear waters, no one ever tried.
And to the other site, through seas uncharted,
I’m going back home, back to where it all started.

Pray

The prayer at the beginning of the song is from the movie 'The 13th Warrior', but we slightly adapted and changed the lines.
Lord, there, do I see my father.
Lord, there, do I see my mother, my sisters and my brothers.
Lord, there, do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning.
Lord, they do call me, they bid me take my place among them, in the halls of the gods, where the brave, may live forever.
Equally the quotes towards the end of the song are from the movie '47 Ronin'.
She: "This world is only a preparation for the next. And all we can ask is that we leave it having loved and being loved."
He: "I will search for you through thousand worlds and 10000 lifetimes until I find you."
She: "I will wait for you in all of them."

1.
Sail across the waters
Back against the wind
Rivers fast and wild
Oceans dark and deep
Wakes my desire from its sleep.
2.
The roaring lion is the sea
but I'm the wind running free
Travel seven seas
Sail from shore to shore
makes my desire wanting more

1.
John Barracuda had arms big as trees.
He was seven feet tall,
Bigger than Maggie Sues garden wall.
He had eyes so clear, no man he would fear
He had a head like a bull
Fists of iron, his glass was always full.
With the morning sun he usually went to bed.
But now he’s gone, gone. John Barracuda’s dead.
2.
People I’m tellin’ you the story of John Barracudas fall.
He was a man like a mountain, but in the end on the ground he did crawl.
Well Johns misery started when he saw that pretty girl.
He changed a whole lot and became metaphysical.
Oh, when she walked in, every man turned around,
And a swear by my life, right down from heaven came a beautiful sound
He was staring at her, drunk two whiskeys maybe three.
Oh, John could not believe what his eyes did see.
She walked to him, looked right into his face,
And said, hey man I like you, tonight you made the race.
Chorus:
She said: Hello big man, I’m so alone. Come on please, won’t you walk me home?
He said: Hello pretty girl, oh I love you too. Gonna make you my wife, do anything for you.
Don’t you know I’m feeling so alone. Come on please, let me walk you home.
3.
They danced together, she moved like a dove.
Well it was easy to see, god damn this man was in love.
Two month later with another man she was gone.
He had a whole lotta money, promised her a life under the California sun.
John drunk too much, was acting like a clown.
Well people I’m telling you whiskey and women brought this man down.
Chorus:
(John said) Don’t know why but it feels so wrong.
I can’t stand it, I am not that strong.
Don’t know why but she makes me sad.
Can’t understand, how could she be so bad.
4.
Oh, another day when John was walking home
He crossed the railway tracks, but unfortunately did not look back.
The 5 o’ clock train run over Johns head
And that’s the end of the story, cause John Barracuda was dead.

1 .
In the evening light when the old day's dying
Time is flying away.
The world seems small and the sky so bright
and life so easy to face.
2.
Some people are born and others dying,
My love already got killed.
The survivors praised him and with honor and glory,
He was buried beneath a little green hill.
3.
I was asking for reasons, but I could not find out,
I tried to stop but still I’m turning around.
But at nightfall sometimes it happens to me,
that I clearly can see what I wish to do if I could break be free,
Chorus:
I would walk through a forest and along a coast,
And rain would come down from the sky.
A night walk through an empty and peaceful world,
a thousand winds would play me a song.
4.
I got sweet memories I dearly guard,
I harvest their echo sitting in my yard.
These memories still leak inside of my walls,
And in my dreams, I see my love fall,
5.
There's no reason to worry, I'm still on my feet,
Some remains of old days, is all that I need,
I'm a widow of war but still I’m alright,
I'm strolling around in this beautiful evening sun light.
6.
At this time of the day when the night's falling down,
I feel like a queen with a silvery crown.
I'm the queen of twilight, I'm a widow of war,
I shine in the starlight but my heard is sore.
Chorus:
I will walk through a forest and along a coast,
And rain will come down from the sky.
A night walk through an empty and peaceful world,
a thousand winds will play me a song.
