You and me, out at the sea A flash in my memory I am here, you are here Floating in, a seagulls dream We are together, we are together Drifting in, the same mind Our feet are sinking in the sand This is a strange and foreign land Tell me your secrets Tell me your dreams And we can fly I am here, you are here Floating in, a seagulls dream We are together, we are together Drifting in, the same mind Open your eyes, heaven is here Look what i have found Love is all around You and me, out at the sea

Sleeping or dreaming Everyone has everything they need Wild flowers grow Wild flowers grow Dreams govern this land Dreams govern this land La la land Is everywhere, is everywhere Illusion, Horizon, Confusion

the endlessness and it's numbing the tireless utterances that stir this dark flower awake their tragic waves of ache, in the whim of your return your posturing among the living the grandeur of the slow wasting that slips beneath my skin the leeches of memory twisted too ugly to ever be dreamt again all that you've left behind, collected and remember you and your deacons of deflower and devour i simply ask what has become of our pretty blue forever

When you feel sad and torn and cant imagine any dreams in the land of shadows Feel the wind, from far away that hit you right into your face its as strong as ever A thing of beauty is a joy for ever A thing of beauty is a joy for ever In spite of all, some shape of beauty moves away the pall, from our dark spirits A thing of beauty is a joy for ever A thing of beauty is a joy for ever Thoughts, passions, and all delights Whatever stirs this mortal frame All are ministers of love and feed his sacred flame When you feel sad and torn and cant imagine any dreams in the light of your shadows Feel the wind, from far away that hit you right into your face its as strong as ever A thing of beauty is a joy for ever A thing of beauty is a joy for ever

We will meet each other in poems or music Always We’ll be there alone, in a rainy room Lying on the carpet, vestured in silver sounds We are dressed only in cigarette smoke and echoes Making love in a continuous present Now when I deeply need your absence Don’t look at me, Do not listen to me My angel, Don’t be afraid It is never too late for love Build me in this moment for eternity I don’t want to get out of here This invisible place wherein there’s no abyss Between to be and to make Between to feel and to exist Now when I deeply need your absence Don’t look at me, Do not listen to me My angel, Don’t be afraid It is never too late for love

In an ocean of illusion, home seams so far away Being is the joy, that every human seeks Use silence and awareness, to reach out for the sublime Its better to end it now, to let it be a dream Its better to end it now, to let it be a dream Let it be a dream Let it be a dream Your fine eyes are looking back, while Im crawling on the floor You had to get yourself together, as we fell apart You showed your lovely smile, and every cell was listening Is there a hole in the sky, for our happiness Its better to end it now, to let it be a dream iIs better to end it now, to let it be a dream

Blue evening, Blue evening The clouds are mountains. The mountains… mist And faraway peach trees, have fruit in their branches Flanneled-skinned fruit, the rare, colour of love The sky rolls away softly, leaving the pebbles ringing And even your blood, dissolves upon the star-bruised edges of distant streets Young women´s shadows, like laughing wine-dark puppets come to whisper among rough bushes and gather their washed white sheets And now the day is a burning line in the sky And girls sit in doorways, fading into the blue evening… Night is a constant surprise. The moon steps into a puddle A women steps into the moon, her white ankles laughing in pain You stand on these deep blue roads, as if you were a cat on a wall and nothing in the whole darkening world was worth a sniff But sometimes, the blue of the air wrings a confession out of you: I cannot say anything now nothing - not a word...
