Lyrics:
Little Things
I could climb the highest mountains
I could dry up all the fountains
I could fly across the sky
I could do this but you’d ask why
Still it’s just the little things
That make you smile
I could do everything, still I could do more
I could win an endless war
I could make the bad guys die
I could do this but you’d ask why
Still it’s just the little things
That make you smile
It’s so simple
And it’s effective for a while
And you can smile
And you can smile
I could be the greatest hero
I could let it rain or snow
I could do this, at least I could try
I could do that but you’d ask why
Still it’s just the little things
That make you smile
It’s so simple
And it’s effective for a while
(repeat)
And you can smile
And you can smile
And you can smile

Lyrics:
Grin At The Moon
Dreams of fortune, dreams of love and peace
Dreams of what he hears, of what he sees
Nothing that really is
In a world without sorrow, without pain
What you never do is what you gain
Endlessly insane
Look at me, look at you
And the things you do
Out of this dream, cruel and mean
All the people, I’ll take them away from you
All the lives and the rivers that cut you through
I’ll follow soon
This world, it grins at the moon
You think everything we do is unnecessary
All the things you don’t know, you don’t see
Set yourself free
Sooner or later you’ll be the one
Whose cries are the loudest ever known
Crying on your own out there
Look at you, look at me
What this world could be
Out of this dream, and on the screen
All the people, I’ll take them away from you
All the lives and the rivers that cut you through
I’ll follow soon
This world, it grins at the moon
I’ll follow soon
Watch the sunsets fall into the night
Dreams disappearing, fading
And drifting out of sight
Look at me, look at you
And what we’ve been through
The good old man will follow then
All the people, I’ll take them away from you
All the lives and the rivers that cut you through
I’ll follow soon
This world, it grins at the moon
I’ll follow soon
This world, it grins at the moon
Now hear my tune
World that grins at the moon

Lyrics:
Roses To The Lovers
Roses to the lovers
Soil to the dead
Items with feelings
Green, yellow, red
Adventures to the heroes
None to the quiet ones
Dancing here, dancing close
Tonight they will use their guns
Save me from the game
Save me from the flame
It’s just me and you
And the world doesn’t feel like there’s certain things to do
Daylight to the living
Magic of the light
Darkness to the sleeping
Silence in the night
Prizes to the winners
Consolation to the losers
Aims to the dreamers
And still there’s no end to war
Save me from the game
Save me from the flame
It’s just me and you
And the world doesn’t feel like there’s certain things to do
It’s just me and you
And the world doesn’t feel like there’s certain things to do
They’d never give roses to lovers
They’d give roses to the fallen
They don’t know that there are others
Who believe in peace and call out to the world
Save us from their games
Save us from their flames
(repeat)
Roses to the lovers
(Save us from their games)
Roses to the lovers
(Save us from their flames)
Roses to the lovers
(Save us from their games)

Lyrics:
Empty Minds
Empty minds
Desperate times coming up
Downtown in a bar
Where the man finds his home in his jar
Wash your memories away
But lose another day
Man, you better not go too far
And the wheel keeps turning
And the flame keeps burning
We’ve got a hell of a lot of songs to sing
Hope the last one’s not the bells of heaven that ring
Empty jars
The good old scars you tried to heal
In your little home downtown
Where the man has got to be absolutely down
Look at yourself, face the real you
Is it really worth it to do what you do
Every night you wear your fancy crown
And the wheel keeps turning
And the flame keeps burning
We’ve got a hell of a lot of songs to sing
Hope the last one’s not the bells of heaven that ring
Empty minds
All those signs you don’t recognize
Downtown on the road tonight
Where the man doesn’t know what’s wrong, what’s right
You’ve washed your memories away
But you’ve just lost another day
And your life is hardly in sight
And the wheel keeps turning
And the flame keeps burning
We’ve got a hell of a lot of songs to sing
Hope the last one’s not the bells of heaven that ring
And the wheel keeps turning
And the flame keeps burning
Still we’ve got a hell of a lot of songs to sing
But the last one’s the first one and your empty mind is gone
So long
So long

Lyrics:
The Wall Turns
It seems there is no way outta here
I’m crying through the night, through the fear
And with every falling tear
A brick fills the portal leading outta here
But it’s so easy to turn the wall into sand
You just have to find a helping hand
And the problems seem so far away
I guess you found a way
Now something has washed away your tears
But the sand has filled your ears
You can’t hide away all these years
On and on you try to show your fears
And it’s so easy to turn the sand into a wall
You just have to find a reason, that’s all
It takes the sorrow to the entrance hall
And the bricks will slowly build the wall
Now the wall turns into sand turns into a wall
Turns into anything you will call
And you will find a way to change
A way to live

Lyrics:
Those Were The Days
Slow down
Give me one more chance
I want to try and I still know why
Come on
Help me to find my way back in time
Rewind
Where did we go
I cannot follow myself anymore
So come on
Help me to close forgotten doors
We’re going crazy
We’re getting old
Those were the days
These are the cold
Slow down
Don’t make me cry
I want to understand, I want to try
Come on
Help me to learn to know where we shall go
We’re going crazy
We’re getting old
Those were the days
These are the cold
We’re going crazy
We’re getting cold
Memories to sell
Stories to tell
Freezing at the bottom of the iceberg ahead
New stories to tell
This book must be read
Go on
I’ll follow you home
I shall see things that I thought I’d never see
Come on
Help me to find a way to be
We’re going crazy
We’re getting old
Those were the days
These are the cold
We’re going crazy
We’re getting cold
Memories to sell
Stories to tell
We’re going crazy
We’re getting old
Those were the days
These are the cold
We’re going crazy
The past is sold
We can survive
This story is told
This story is old

Lyrics:
Forget And Let Go
How can someone be so strong
When sometimes someone knows
That all love is gone
And that it’s the way it goes
Confronted with our worst nightmares
Day by day, all night long
We know we won’t survive, who cares
Sometimes we don’t remember the words of reality’s song
Sometimes we get used to sadness
Sometimes we get used to loneliness
Sometimes is anytime we forget about ourselves
Sometimes we get used to pain
Sometimes we get used to suffering
Sometimes is anytime we forget about ourselves
Forget and let go
Forget and let go
We’re all part of this one big show
Forget and let go
Then you can live through bad days
You can live with loneliness
You can live through the hardest days
You can live with any condition
You can live with any condition
‘Cause sometimes you get used to sadness
Sometimes you get used to loneliness
Sometimes is anytime we forget about ourselves
Sometimes you get used to pain
Sometimes you get used to suffering
Sometimes is anytime we forget about ourselves
So hold on
When you feel that something’s wrong
Hold on
You know that sometimes there are better times
(When we get used to sadness)
Sometimes we get used to sadness
Sometimes we get used to loneliness
Sometimes is anytime we forget about ourselves
Sometimes we get used to pain
Sometimes we get used to suffering
Sometimes is anytime we forget about ourselves
Forget and let go
Forget and let go
We’re all part of this one big show
Forget and let go
(repeat)

Lyrics:
Scattered On The Dirty Floor
Well, how do you feel when you’ve just cried
Relieved, glad or sad and withdrawn, well I know
That you’re not here to show your face
You hide behind a wall so strong and I know
I am offering my hand
I will take you to my land
I didn’t know you had a friend
Didn’t know what you’ve planned
It’s one of those days
My mind is scattered on the dirty floor
I’ve washed my face
I should have known this before
Well, how do you feel when you’re alone
Lonely, frustrated or content, well you know
That you will never find your soul
Your heart, your mind, yourself and everything, so…
I am offering my time
I will take you across the line
I didn’t know that you were fine
Didn’t know you were mine
It’s one of those days
My mind is scattered on the dirty floor
I’ve washed my face
I should have known this before
It’s one of those days
My mind is scattered on the floor
I cannot trace
Those scattered thoughts anymore
Did I make a big mistake
Or did I do nothing at all
I cannot hear your helpless call
It’s one of those days
My mind is scattered on the dirty floor
I’ve washed my face
I should have known this before
It’s one of those days
My mind is scattered on the floor
I cannot trace
Those scattered thoughts anymore

Lyrics:
Monday Will Be Tomorrow
In the forest the shadows lie cold on the ground
And I can hardly make a sound
I’m starting to breathe but I’m still afraid
I don’t want to rouse the beast
In the valley, there is no machine running
The people, they’re laughing, they’re talking
And you can identify the songs they’re humming
As the people, they just go out for a walk
Monday will be tomorrow
Monday will bring us sorrow
Monday will be tomorrow
Let’s take another cup of tea, quietly
One night before the storm begins
The stars still shine, so spread your wings
And follow the darkness but don’t follow me
I will take the fog down to the sea…
Behind these mountains
I’ll have a long way to go
A long way to go, you know
In the shadows I will disappear
Monday will be tomorrow
Monday will bring us sorrow
Monday will be tomorrow
Let’s take another cup of tea, quietly
In the forest the shadows lie cold on the ground
The lights have gone, the valley sleeps
And dreaming seems to be the only way
To just another day

Lyrics:
Waving Goodbye
I still keep on falling down and I hold you
Closer than I ever did ‘cause I need you
Like I need the parachute before I hit the ground
That is harder than every stone I threw at you
There were only moments
When we could show we care for each other
There were only thank you’s
And a waving goodbye to you, mother
I still keep on drowning in the tears you cried
When you knew it was over and I said “sleep tight”
While I keep on keeping on and you’re lying there
Motionless and loneliness is sitting on your throne
There were only moments
When we could show we care for each other
There were only thank you’s
And a waving goodbye to you, mother
I still keep on falling down and I hold you
Closer than I ever did ‘cause I need you
Like I need the parachute before I hit the ground
That is harder than every stone I threw at you
