Late in the midnight hour
or early in the morning rain
I got nothing but bluesin' on my mind
it brings light to the darkest train
all aboard...

Through The Keyhole
03:53
|
|||
|
You can see through the keyhole in the door
to find out the world you don't know
but you can't feel and smell the ocean
when nighttime comes and you lose the show
A stranger can make you break mama's rules
can make your blood run warm
but when dreamland is closed
you are alone in an electric storm
You don't have to tell me lies
Just keep your mouth shut
your sweet little secrets
must stay kept only in your heart

Try Another Time
03:10
|
|||
|
The night is just about gone
and it keeps raining outside
the blues is taking me by the hand
I wish the empty bottle was full like a rising tide
I am the fruit of a poisonous tree
and if you try to change my ways
I tell you : try another time
‘cause my blues is not fading away yet

The Hawk Of The Night
03:39
|
|||
|
Your midnight dream has lost the way
and your tracks are out of line
but you ‘ve got an answer about everything
you design, combine and shine
I wish you had shared your dream
with the hawk of the night
telling jokes, lies and tales
you would have spent well your life
The hawk of the night
Walked alone the path of its rambling life
but in your heart there was no blaze
and you couldn't see it even in the light

A Game
04:20
|
|||
|
You brought the town to your feet
you killed the nightmare that almost drove you crazy
playing a game with rain and dark
moving slow, taking it easy
The dwarf was right when he said
"Everyone has one special thing"
you found the endless bottle of whiskey
and it is hard to tell if you lose or win

Big Fake Smiles
03:20
|
|||
|
You hurt me so much with what you did
but I ‘ll not turn my gun on you
I am gonna find real people to care about me
and I don't give a penny about your sweet blue
Everybody in my home town tells me
about the rumors you have filled their minds with
I don’t care about your lies, I ‘ve got my life
I ‘m not a saint but I don’t feel guilt
You used to tell me time and time again
"You got to find your own path Paul"
I was a loser and now it ‘s my turn to win
But you don’t like my choices at all
Sometimes I wander by myself
thinking about the way you loved me
but your big fake smiles made the Summer warmer
and the Winter stormy

In Your Sweet Red Garden
02:33
|
|||
|
In your sweet red garden
when you turn out the lights
everything seems so beautiful
but my dreams meets the blue nights
In your sweet red garden
when it comes the break of day
I can burn my bitter lyrics
but I can't drive my blues away
|

The Elf's Fountain
03:52
|
|||
|
In the shadows of our village
there ‘s a little shining light
they call it "the elf’s fountain"
its magical power captures the night
It can fill your soul with happiness
it can fill your soul with sorrow
it ‘s a crazy game of poker
if you think about tomorrow
Someone told me that it ‘s an angel
someone else that it ‘s the devil's child
the truth fell in love with the lie
and if you believe that you know...

Think Way Back
03:11
|
|||
|
You are looking for revenge
hiding in the dark square
but I am looking for happiness
in the middle of nowhere
Maybe the night that comes
will make you think way back
in a room full of laughter
away from the wolf pack
All people are watching
but no one saw a thing
sorry for being real
and you hurt me on the wing
|

His Own Circus
02:29
|
|||
|
To you it is all some kind of joke
but he is gonna stage a play in the wood pile
he wastes no time
waiting for her killer smile
He has worked hard in his mind
for his own circus in the snow
he feels the blues in his heart
and he always wants his drink to overflow
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
This may seem like a lie
but I can feel it all around
in this world of pressure
unemployment has brought madness to the people
can someone help stop these hard times?
We have no destination
and we can't face the nights
we are lost in a tune
and you expect me to do the right thing
The room is full of ghosts
is it time to pray or is it time to fight?
The beast is smiling in my ear
and you expect me to do the right thing
