In Gedanken

Abendspaziergang. In Gedanken das goldene Licht geniessen und mich herrlich alleine mit meinen Träumen fühlen. Sommerwärme in den Steinen. Dankbarkeit im Herzen. Musik im Ohr...



Dreaming wide awake

My eyes burn
I have seen the glory of a brighter sun
My heart aches
It has felt the peace of perfect love
My mind fails
As I try to recall the bliss of a glorious day
When I was sleeping, eyes wide open
Dreaming wide awake


Who are you, stranger
To come here, and answer all my prayers?
Where are you from, angel?
You saved my life and disappeared
How do I find you?
Will you come when I need you?
Oh, how I´d love,
I´d love to be sleeping, eyes wide open
Dreaming wide awake

How to build a home

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where i feel at home

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust


Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree that's old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green

Ground had arose and passed its knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

Looking out

I went out looking for the answers and never left my town.

I’m no good at understanding, but I’m good at standing ground.
And when I asked a corner preacher I couldn’t hear him for my
youth. Some people get religion some people get the truth. I
never get the truth, I never get the truth.

I know the darkness pulls on you. And it’s just a point of view
When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and when
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your
heart can break in two, someone loves you.


I lay this suitcase on my chest so I can feel somebody’s weight.
And I lay you to rest just to feel a togive and take.
I got a new interpretation and it’s a better point of view, you
were looking for a landslide I was looking out for you, I was
looking out for you, someone’s looking out for you.


I know the darkness pulls on you. And it’s just a point of view
When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and when
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your
heart can break in two, someone loves you.


I am afraid of crossing lines. I am afraid of flying blind,
afraid of inquiring minds, afraid of being left behind.

I close my eyes I think of you, I take a step and think of you,
I catch my breath I think of you, I cannot rest I think of you

My one and only wrecking ball, and you’re cutting through my
walls. When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and
when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like
your heart could break in two, someone loves you.

David Ford, Mann meiner musikalischen Träume, deine beiden Alben "I Sincerely Apologize For All The Trouble I've Caused" und "Songs for the Road" werden hier laufen, bis ich sie nicht mehr hören kann (weil ich jedes Lied bis auf die letzte Note in mir herumtrage).

I'm Alright now

The tide came in and nearly buried us here
We saw things like they wouldn't believe
You hear a lot about stories about love and romance
But I swear nothing quite like you and me

And every scar sits like a marker
Every line on the face is a small souvenir
Of all the places, be they good or be they bad
That we stopped into on the journey to here

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now

There were times when, yeah, alright I'll confess
I did things of which I am not proud
Everybody wades through the same colored shit
But it doesn't drag everyone down

And I was stupid, I was insensitive,
I was all the things I promised that I never would be
I've seen a lot of foolish behavior in my time
But I tell ya, they've got nothing on me

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now
Give me strength, give me something to believe in
And I'm alright now
Sing along when your heart's finished bleeding
Yeah, I'm alright now

Another evening of sublime self-destruction
To the tune of a thousand cigarettes
Where every nail thats hammered into your spirit
Was unable to sink you just yet

And television is just some weak anaesthetic
To numb the senses til you're out like a light
Like all these drugs they seem to promise you the earth
and then they don't keep you warm in the night

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now
Give me strength, give me something to believe in
And I'm alright now
Sing along when your heart's finished bleeding
Yeah, I'm alright now

It's like I cannot sleep for dreaming
This is everything that could have possibly hoped it would be
A lot of stories will end happy ever after
But I swear nothing quite like you and me

Hört auch auch "Song for the Road an".

Song for the Road von David Ford

Well the day casts down
Lengthy shadows on unfamiliar towns
I drove 300 miles from the place I call home
And I tip my hat to the angel of the North

And the sun sets fire to the heavens
On the hills over Sheffield tonight
And I'll sail over this countryside with new friends and old
And we are nowhere, but man, we're alright

So you can keep your belief in whatever
I'll wear my cynicism like a tattoo
While poets try to engineer definitions of love
You know all I can think of is you

And I can't wait to see you on Sunday
Far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise
For this evening I will play back every message that you sent
And I will sleep to the sound of your voice

Now I don't like using words like forever
But I will love you til the end of today
And in the morning when I remember everything that you are
I know I'll fall for you over again

I know someday this all will be over
And it's hard to say what most I will miss
Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive
And I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this

The Sound of White von Missy Higgins

Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,
what you were, what you were to me in memory.
But if I listen to the dark,
you'll embrace me like a star,
envelop me, envelop me...
If things get real for me down here,
promise to take me to before you went away -
if only for a day.
If things get real for me down here,
promise to take me back to the tune
we played before you went away.

And if I listen to, the sound of white,
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.

My silence solidifies,
until that hollow void erases you,
erases you so I can't feel at all.
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness
will end the painful dream, of you and me...
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to
before you went away, if only for a day.
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to
the tune we played before you went away.

And if I listen to, the sound of white
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
And if I listen to, the sound of white.

I knelt before some strangers face,
I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...

And if I listen to, the sound of white sometimes
I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white.
The sound of white,
The sound of white,
The sound of white.

Manche Lieder klingen schon, wenn man nur ihre Lyrics liest...


Zweilicht von Kante

Der Tag klingt aus
die Dunkelheit bricht ein
das Haus steht still
wir sind allein

Die Nacht liegt schwer
um uns herum
ein stiller stiller Schmerz
hält uns noch wach
kein Tag der die Wunden
zu heilen vermag

Uns bleibt ein Versprechen
uns nicht zu verlieren
im Grauen des Morgens
im Schweren der Stunden
die über uns brechen
früh oder später

Der Mond steht hoch
in dieser Nacht
Zweilicht fällt auf Dein Gesicht
ich seh' Dich an
und denk daran
wie schön es ist
