So Much Snow 04:53
Snow is falling down on the street, in deepest winter, there grows no weed. A dark and gloomy atmosphere, I got the hankie ready there. A running nose is normal now, catching a cold is easy somehow. A gift for old and young, so fine, for the right mood at Christmas time. The thing is white, the flakes are cold it’s correct as it’s always been told. It makes me grab for more and so, Addiction comes of so much snow. And the silence of winter is all around as you look for an answer to all you’ve found. Thinking ‘bout topics you catch nowhere else, that’s the story that this season tells. You have to keep yourself right on the wave, for not to fall into the grave. So don’t get blind of the frozen rain, don’t get morish, to keep your gain. It won’t be easy, it’s a busy time at Christmas many things go out of line. But you’ll pass this era, you will win, there’s nothing you can do, it’s not a sin. The thing is white, the flakes are cold it’s correct as it’s always been told. It makes me grab for more and so, Addiction comes of so much snow. The thing is white, the flakes are cold it’s correct as it’s always been told. It makes me grab for more and so, Addiction comes of so much snow. Addiction comes of so much snow. Addiction comes of so much snow. Addiction comes of so much snow. ...

I’m waking up after a dream, Heard whistles there, what does this mean? No sweat, no blood, no fear, no pain, Were that angels calling out my name? Shall I start to write my major one? Do I have the muse, has it begun? Inspirations for a drama piece? Will it take me long till thy release? It’s not easy to be a writer those days, As a knight of the pen you gotta find your own ways. There is always the fear when it make it on stage, That people have to like it to get on your wage. Shall it be romantic like in Johnny’s stuff? The way like Faust did a walk around with his love? Shall it also contain those family fights? Like Shakespeare did with two adversary sides? Shall it take it long till the story’s told, With antique philosophies from the old? Shall it have a simple or salutary end, That all can see what I really meant? A happy, strange, tragic or open one? With enlightenment where the heroes’ gone? Well, let’s start remembering on that dream, Let’s write it all down, the whole things I have seen. Will I ever have a common life With house and garden, kids and wife? A masterpiece would solve it all, I would have peace until I fall. Well, this time I’ll make my important breakthrough, And also my biggest dream will come true. The halls will be full, of course they will be. Cause I’m writing my best work all will ever see.

Geronimo 05:29
20 years ago, we were young and didn’t know That one day could change our life. We were kids and played outside, you got hurt and lost your sight And we know the fault was mine. Since then we come around, working seated on the ground With a hat in front of us. Work is yours, you are the star with your voice and your guitar But we need also two eyes. I’m sorry, my dear brother – for all I’ve done to you, I feel the distance! Your faith in me is long gone – tell me what can I do To make you know … I’ll always be at your side, I’ll never let you down, Wherever we go – oooh, Geronimo! One day a traveller comes to chat, throws some money in our hat And you say, we have been paid: “He gave 20 for my song”, but I know that this is wrong ‘Cause it is only one. I’m sorry, my dear brother – for all I’ve done to you, I feel the distance! Your faith in me is long gone – tell me what can I do To make you know … I’ll always be at your side, I’ll never let you down, Wherever we go – oooh, Geronimo! You don’t believe in me, he was lying to you! You say that I would cheat on a blind man. How can I prove my innocence and that my love is true, I’ll do it for you! There we are on our next way to another town to play Followed by Bormio’s police. They came for our arrest, stolen money – easy quest: I was the thief, make you believe! I’m sorry, my dear brother – for all I’ve done to you, I feel the distance! Your faith in me is long gone – tell me what can I do To make you know … I’ll always be at your side, I’ll never let you down, Wherever we go – oooh, Geronimo! Geronimo!

We were such bloody, stupid fools. We didn’t notice the sad truth. All people welcomed them with glee. Adults, the old ones and the youth. Their leader promised us work. We cheered and got in this cruel curse. Instead of things should be getting better, they truly got much and much worse. Let’s topple them in our city to stop this foolish war. Then we surrender it fightless to the Russians to safe the rest of bombs and more. You have to obey their inhuman laws. You have to take part like a mad. If not, they will hunt you and find you and catch you in short time you’re gonna be dead. Many friends of ours just disappeared because they were different than the others. They have been killed by them in the worst kind: children, their mothers and fathers. Let’s topple them in our city to stop this foolish war. Then we surrender it fightless to the Russians to safe the rest of bombs and more. They run a war which card has turned, this is our chance, we hope each one can see. So let’s drop the weapons and stop the fights, maybe one day we're gonna be free. So let’s topple them in our city to stop this foolish war. Then we surrender it fightless to the Russians to safe the rest of bombs and more.

Pictures of you – pictures of me Some words about us, we both can see. We don’t know each other personally There’s just what we see and our fantasy. The decision to make is always free If you’ve the trust and faith in me. Well, I know mine so I agree That there is truth to guarantee because ... Faith is the key to life It’s solid as a rock to survive. Faith is the key to love You’ll be addicted to it and won’t get enough Faith is the key to happiness It is the path and I have to confess: We’re interconnected, So faith is your key to me. Happiness is simply when a chance Meets an attendance. It’s the basis for every friendship or romance When two different worlds can start to dance. I’m sure they are simply there to enhance, To raise your relations, health and finance. I hope I’ve already broken every lance, So I’d like to thank you for all in advance because ... Faith is the key to life It’s solid as a rock to survive. Faith is the key to love You’ll be addicted to it and won’t get enough Faith is the key to happiness It is the path and I have to confess: We’re interconnected, So faith is your key to me. I’m looking forward to the first time When I hear your voice, look into your eyes, When I take your hand, Can give you a smile, When I make you laugh. I caress your hips, When I feel your breath, When I touch your lips, Dear … Faith is the key to life It’s solid as a rock to survive. Faith is the key to love You’ll be addicted to it and won’t get enough Faith is the key to happiness It is the path and I have to confess: We’re interconnected, So faith is your key to me. Yeah, faith is your key to me.

Timeless 04:31
The world keeps on turning – every single day. We go through time and space – we go our own way. People’s life as it has been – will never be the same. Pressure rises, time is getting lean – a hard and dangerous game. We all do what they call for to safe our later days, And the fear of something unexpected is our permanent haze. We keep on leaning on instructions – and forget about our own. Pressure kills our inner values – like not to be alone. As we know all these changes – the modern way of life. You and me give all our power – we just want to survive. But there are all those feelings – they really want to grow. Like there must be something above – as they just want us to know: Though we’ll neither know exactly how much we’ll have to do, Nor the circumstances in our life change by the lines we drew. We shall listen to the voice in our heart telling what we’re longing for, We should be aware of that we can’t revisit the past anymore. Timeless, for evermore We live our life better than before! Enjoying moments without “maybe, but when?” As we move to the present again! Timeless, for evermore We live our life better than before! Enjoying moments without “maybe, but when?” As we found our way again! “So many things, so little time” – that needn’t be said anymore, “If there’s a will, there is a way” – for all we are looking for!

Counted Days 03:09
We watched the sunset evening light on a warm and cloudless end of day. There’s no stress and nothing to say when the day turns into the night. There rolls on a brand-new sight a big price which we have to pay. To go the next path of our way the past is not to hold on tight. Now we do what our spirit says we enjoy the counted days. There’re lots of things to do for going our way how we want to. The old is gone, what comes is new we mustn’t stop just like a glue. Some memories, not just a few make us feel a little blue. But we have to think of what is true we leave the nest, our good old crew. Now we do what our spirit says we enjoy the counted days. A brand new world is up to you, and a brand new point of view. You will do it, find your ways but at first enjoy the counted days.

The guiding light that’s on my mind, The one that shines on my inner self: It helps me leave all dark behind, To feel like heaven day by day. It took a long, long stony journey To raise my horizon. But now I’m glad as a man can be: I’ve chosen the right path in the end. Suddenly, one day the light Appeared when no one expected it. It came along, it shined so bright When I lay wounded on the ground. Today I’m not the same I’ve been For all the years. The light that came out of the dark: The reason why I stayed alive! I always try to spend much time, As long as it’s possible, with you. It’s pure energy to see you, Even if there’s just nothing to do. I keep tapes from my answer phone Just to hear your voice again, You’re such a mighty source of strength, Your inspiration leads my pen. As time goes by I get aware I can’t get off that magic light, And if it needs me, I’ll be there Surrounded of what comes from the heart. It’s time to thank this seraphic soul, Who helped me up. The light that came out of the dark, My dear, is you – you saved my life!
