CATFISH MAN
you once were a catfishman
with only the blues
living on the shore of an ancient land
with jewels of music in the sand
you had no wife just a wooden shack
and an old guitar
a thunder from L.A.
was coming down your way
a midnight lightning stroke the sky...
you just had only a short time to live
shining bright like a star
so many people you met on your way
still wonder today how you are -
hi James
now you are no more here
just flown away
but from high above I still hear you laughing:
"it was a short but sure a groovy time !"
you just had only a short time to live
shining bright like a star
so many people you met on your way
still wonder today how you are -
hi James
LET YOUR LOVING
it's just my simple way
to tell you how I feel
my mind is filled with emty thoughts
and awful dreams
I've been away a thousand years
it almost seems
the only enemy around is me
who would have kwown?
you're back on my mind again!
let your loving
put me on an eagle's wing
let your memories
be my guide to set me free
I have been travelling
all around this lonely place
trying to find some answers
and some different ways
to live a life not to far from reality
the only enemy around is me
and who else is there?
maybe you too!
let your loving
put me on an eagle's wing
let your memories
be my guide to set me free
set me free now!
THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS
there are colors everywhere
if you really want to see them
and the smell of the earth can be stronger
than your little mind might be used to
so come on closer and move over here
this is just one of those days
when nothing seems to be alright
and we are caught in a sweet illusion
that feels like a dream
from another lifetime ...
('seen it all before)
have you seen the lights moving down
a lonely man's face in the rain?
have you heard his heart crying
hidden behind the curtains of pain?
just come on closer and move over here
this is just one of those days
when nothing seems to be alright
and we are caught in a sweet illusion
that feels like a dream from another lifetime ...
- this is just one of those days!
CAUGHT IN A RAINBOW
it has been lonely
since you have been away
and all those memories
I've tried to put them away
but last night I have seen your face
in a dream of majestic grace
and it almost seemed:
you were caught in a rainbow
flying up high
your smiling face was there
just up in the sky!
I have been waiting
and things just felt not right
while I was praying
through many a lonely night
but last night I have seen your face
in a dream of majestic grace
and it almost seemed:
you were caught in a rainbow
flying up high
your smiling face was there
just up in the sky!
I'LL BE FREE
see the darkness fading away
watch the morning star
far away there's the dancing light
of a morning breeze
feel the tides of the evening wind
how they come and go
smell of night is almost around
and a bluebird sings:
I'll be free, baby why don't you join me?"
sitting on top of a rainbow
touch the sky above
"I am lost in the light of a daydream"
talking wood just smiles
flying with the midnight wind
touch a lonely star
silence rains into your loving heart
moon's just wispering:
"I'll be free, baby why don't you join me?"
misty clouds turning into rain of velvet tears
ev'ry human sorrow it will just disappear
we are riding on the waves of a new born sea
peace it will come for you and me!
"I'll be free, baby why don't you join me?"
(a little peace of mind is good enough for me!)
THOUSAND ANGELS
below me is the sea
above me is the night
the current carries me away
I don't know where
silently a thousand angels were in my mind
the seconds became years
I didn't know how it could happen
I only felt their kisses and tears
silently a thousand stars were in my brain
the winds had brought them just for me
and they felt like a loving rain
and they felt what it was like to be free
silently a thousand tears were in my eyes
the past was drowned in a rainbow sea
on the bottom there were a thousand lies
and I felt that the bottom was me
silently a thousand angels left my mind
they faded like the stars and the tears
and they left me sitting deaf and blind
in the dark grave of my fears
I really don't know where this is gonna take me
all I can see is just a dark night with a couple of stars
it sure does look unreal
and in front of me I see a shape
like a cloud
and there seems to be a strange kind of light inside of it
it looks like a crowd of angels, thousands of angels...
HOW CAN I LIVE LIKE THIS ?
like a tiny fish in the deep blue sea
I feel when I'm lonely filled with misery
like a hunted deer in an endless night
I feel when I''m without you searching for some light
dreary thoughts are surrounding me ev'rywhere I look
and no one's here to comfort me my blues is all around
like a lonely bird on a rainy day
I feel when my heart is aching nothing's left to say
Lord I know there must be some kind'a way to break through
Lord I know there must be some kind'a way to reach
you how can I live like this ?
like a hazy cloud in the deep blue sky
I feel when I'm isolated not understanding why
like a flikering star in a deep blue night
I feel when I'm far away tryin' to hide my inner light
dreary thoughts are surrounding me ev'rywhere I go
and no one's here to comfort me my blues is all around
Lord I know there must be some kind'a way to break through
Lord I know there must be some kind'a way to reach you
how can I how can I live like this ?
DO I HEAR YOU KNOCKING ?
do I hear you knocking
knocking on my door ?
you know I have been waiting
for quite some years
you had to go I know
something pulled you away
life had not been like it was before
(but can you still see me now ?)
do I hear you calling
calling out my name ?
do I feel your loving voice
suffering no more pain ?
you had to go I know
heaven pulled you away
life had not been like it was before
(I still remember you saying these words:
"I'm gonna open up your funny little door !")
do I hear you calling
calling out my name ?
would you stay and join me
playing out this game ?
(" Hey look out who's hiding behind that little door ?")
do I hear you calling - yes I hear you calling
play on brother play on
ANOTHER SECRET OF THE SEA
burning sunlight on the ocean
and I am sitting
on top of a stone
with a lonely afternoon
but I can hear the winds arising
humming all about
another secret of the sea
wispering mountain tells me about the past
my tears are still burning
with the sun in my eyes
and naked feelings on the shore
but I can see the waves a-coming
carrying within
another secret of the sea
glittering ocean swaying so peacefully
with all your fish in there
please help me to heal my soul
and stop me from crying
but night is falling down on me
becoming slowly
another secret another secret of the sea
PEOPLE, PEOPLE
lost in a midnight dream caught in a silverstream
touched by a thousand sounds I couldn't feel the ground
drowned in a cristal sea born out of my fantasy
while green turned to red insects moved my head
I am tired of fighting
it's a waste of time anyway
people, people hear what I say
the world needs a lot of love here and today
people, people don't you quit instead
the future's just only one moment ahead
bound to the deep blue sky startears in my eyes
nowhere feeling save one foot in my grave
torn in a magic lake I thought I'd never awake
while my head opened wide and I could taste the lights
I am tired of fighting
it's a waste of time anyway
people, people hear what I say
the world needs a lot of love here and today
people, people don't you quit instead
the future's just only one moment ahead
right on
people, people we need a lot of love today
to heal this world
...AND SAY HELLO TO JAMES
I think about the times when you were my chieftain
and how you tried to teach me to play this guitar
and all your lovely music felt just like a blue rain
you said: "while you play just be what you are,
while you are playing just be what you are"
I think about the times when you left California
you had to move to a place without no name
and if there is someone who plans to be around there
then please don't you forget to say hello to James
send my love and say hello to James
life it just moves up and down
it was not much different
when you were around
but some times I wish
I could talk to you
not only through this earphones
but man to man...
I think about the times when you left California
you had to move to a place without no name
and if there is someone who plans to be around there
then please don't you forget to say hello to James
send my love and say hello to James
say hello
SACRED LOVE
sacred love pulsating in my veins
the moon has drowned into a silver sea
and we fly on a blackbird's wing
through a star filled summer night
deep down in my heart
I hear the creatures of the ocean
reminding me of the ancient war of minds
deep down in the valley of my longing soul
I see clouds of angels
touching gently the inner shore of my mind
sacred love flows from the horizon
into my skin golden and sweet
sacred love surrounding the Earth
the sky flows slowly towards her heart
and I am waiting in the wormhole of my mind
trying to grasp that little miracle
(I wonder if you've seen it too - yeah you have)
way up in the clouds of my past
I see my childhood movie dripping from my fingers
but I am a grown up child now
just trying to raise that frequency of love
sacred love flows from the horizon
into my skin golden and sweet
(let me celebrate with you)
FLYING BLUE ANGEL
you said you were looking for some peace of mind
but I think you were just playing the old game of love
the tears you cried no more will they hurt you
and old burning pain will suddenly heal in your soul
please look around and you will finally see her
she's standing right next to you shining so bright
with emerald eyes and her golden hair waving
a flying blue angel is standing by your side
just go ahead and trust this new born angel
and take her hand and learn to fly
before you leave just greet this blue angel
and let her take you up in the sky
you said you were trying to find the future
but I think that all is hidden within your mind
the past that you lived it no more will hurt you
and old longing love will return into your live
please look around and you will finally see her
she's standing right next to you shining so bright
with emerald eyes and her golden hair waving
a flying blue angel is standing by your side
just go ahead and trust this new born angel
and take her hand and learn to fly
before you leave just greet this blue angel
and let her take you up in the sky
HATHOR

and echoes of the sun

Hathor !
I heard my love crying

I'm trying to find a way
to dive down into her heart and into her soul
She's my dear mother ....
ELF
how strange to hear an Elf sing
how gently he whispers in the wind
how soft the answers of the trees and the birds
how sad to hear those long forgotten words
how strange to hear an Elf sing
between the notes I can see what he means
there is so much gentleness in him
even when he cries and he screams
I can see what he means
floating within the realm of a butterfly's dream
the world is quite different here
than it might seem
how strange to hear an Elf sing
your golden memory will live on deep within
and all your lovely music will be left down here to stay
and I will join you on a dragonfly sunny day, yes I will
have you seen an Elf somewhere ?
where we live they're rather rare
Elf's graves are all that I can see
looking a little bit like you and me
RAYS OF THE SUN
come take my hand
and lead me through the sand to the sea
don't turn around
just feel the rays of the sun in our heads
true love can wait
until the time is right
sure it's fun
to feel the rays of the sun in our head
sure it's fun
to feel the rays of the sun in our head
sing on brother
LITTLE MAN
I once was on your ship
you were taking me on this special trip
and we were moving so fast
with the right speed of imagination
and the liquid rhythm of time standing still
swayed inside my head
and the sky like a cat moving slowly around the Earth
made me touch your gentle smile
and it pulled me a little bit higher
then I saw a shimmering light
coming out of the wall purple, blue and white
it was you in an unexpected way
just trying to find me
and the liquid rhythm of time standing still
swayed inside my head
and the sky like a cat moving slowly around the Earth
made me touch your gentle smile
and it made me a little bit wiser
I say: "help me out little man,
take my hand
help me out little man,
you're the one for me ! "
SEA OF MEMORY
when you dive into the sea of old and lost memories
please make sure that the shore is far away
going down to the ground starfish will be all around
and they lead you to the ancient gate
just slip inside and you will remember
the golden unicorns that we used to ride
glide on the waves the old atlantean way
and all the siran music that we then used to play
will come back to you
down you go to the crystal town
and you even see some old friends around
they just wave their old "hello"
please step inside and you will remember
the golden unicorns that we used to ride
glide on the waves the old atlantean way
and all the sirian music that we then used to play
will come back to you
inside our water land let the mermaids take your hand
and dance just being free on the bottom of the sea
in a submarine of your mind you'll dive
into another time you will arrive
and now you can feel at last
there is no future and there is no past
in the sea of memory with dolphins ,whales and human beings
forever we will be alive, anew and free
MAJOR CHANGES
waking up today
a new world is just here to stay
I reach out for those dancing lights
they're coming right out of your eyes
please say these words again my friend
that love will save us in the end
I'm floating to the bottom of the sea
getting used to all the ships just above me
I don't know what time is gone
but anyway I don't mind it at all
some major changes came along my way
and here I'm sitting all alone
with all the other soldiers gone
they're looking for some dimmer lights
yeah this world had been turning bright
please say these words again my friend
that love will save us in the end
I'm floating to the bottom of the sea
getting used to all the ships just above me
I don't know what time is gone
but anyway I don't mind it at all
some major changes came along my way
some major changes
YOUR LOVE
your love is what I want now
your heart is what I need now
don't wait please try to communicate
I used to hide in my little room
didn't dare to walk out this door
until one day this girl came up to me
and she smiled at me through the window
with a voice so soft she said:
"hi my friend how come you're lonely
sitting here just feeling sad"
and now my room is far behind
in time and in distance
I am somewhere else and I'm someone else
'cause she smiled at me through the window
and with a voice so soft she said:
"hi my friend how come you're lonely
sitting here just feeling sad"'
'cause she smiled at me through the window
and with a voice so soft she said:
your love is what I want now
your heart is what I need now
don't wait please try to communicate
SAME OLD BLUES
same old blues
ain't no good news
in this twilight Galaxy there is nothing left for me
and not even an old love to loose
same old blues
same old pain
and a metal blue rain
and there is emptiness all around
and no life no more to be found
all my efforts seem to be in vain
same old pain
same old blues
ain't got nothing more to loose
and even my old Self is gone, just gone
it dissolved into the wind of the dawn
but I will have a new life to choose, so I say:
"goodbye blues, no more blues"
UNBORN LOVE
Like a lonely seagull I will fly up high
and my wishes around me will be like the clouds in the sky
Like a hungry raven I will prowl the night
and all my yearnings will suddenly turn into starlight
Unborn love it feels like I'm touching you from within
Unborn love I know I'll find you deep down in the valleys below
Like a peacock I will build my nest for you
on the roof of my hope I will pray with the morning dew
Like a blackbird who's flying through the wispering rain
I will sing my song of love just to comfort you
Unborn love it feels like I'm touching you from within
Unborn love I know I'll find you deep down in the valleys below
There are no reasons to believe that my love won't be born again
into this world just to meet me there
Unborn love........ my unborn love.
LOVE WAS IN THE AIR
I know it seems unreal the way you suddenly appeared
you stood there in a golden light and love was in the air
you stepped out of this dream dressed in a robe made of moonbeam
blue stars were shining ev'rywhere and love was in the air
I knew you had to leave but there was nothing here to grieve
you said that you'd always be there (to reach) and love was in the air
yes love was ev'rywhere your love was in the air
LOVING EYES
I'm sitting here with my thoughts all alone
it has been quite some time since 've been away from home
those feelings for you, I had no time to show
and when I wanted to, I knew I had to go
Loving eyes in front of me
loving eyes are watching me
loving eyes they want to say:
"Come back for those loving eyes !"
I can't keep my thoughts away from you
it's getting hard to know, what I'm gonna do
it seems I can't get you out of my mind
it feels like someone's watching me from behind
Loving eyes in front of me
loving eyes are watching me
loving eyes they want to say:
"Come back for those loving eyes !"
When I return I have to make sure
this is the love I've been looking for
when I come home to see you again
I'll show you my love too
Loving eyes in front of me
loving eyes are watching me
loving eyes they want to say:
"Come back for my love!"
Loving eyes in front of me
loving eyes are watching me
loving eyes they want to say:
"Come back for those loving eyes !"
QUESTIONS ARE ALL THAT'S LEFT FOR ME
From the ceiling of my room from the bottom of my tomb
something's moving towards me just a shadow of mem'ries
Through the dark veils of my daydreams things are no more what they seem
I've been travellin' for a long time to the borders of my mind
Will I be happy and free ? Will there be a lot of mis'ry ?
Questions are all that's left for me !
In the darkness of my nights I hear voices in the tides
wisp'ring softly about the past and the things that couldn't last
There were flowers life had brought me just to look for some dignity
but my little self so afraid made me hide out in the shade
Will I be happy and free ? Will there be a lot of mis'ry ?
Questions are all that's left for me !
THOSE SUMMERDAYS
when I look into your gentle eyes I see wings of butterflies
and the lights that dance around your face turn into a loving smile
we have been through so many things the tides of life were running wild
and now our love seems to end just here why do I feel like a hurting child ?
those summerdays are all over now I hear the autumn winds arise
the way you gaze at me these days somehow tells me,
it's time for you to fly
when I touch your sunburned skin I feel your soul a restless sea
and the taste of sweet old memories rerun and run away from me
we have been through some heavy times our love was taken by surprise
I didn't think that it could end like this but now it's time for our goodbyes
those summerdays .......
I wonder if my heart can heal from all the damage that's been done
those summerdays begin to reveal that the autum's soon to come
Made out of light
wake up funny old man
humanity you hold in your hands
please change your point of view
and let this small message come right through
get up sad old lady
humanity you hold in your hands
please grab the future that is so close
and only a few seconds away
I hear the ocean arise
and through an afternoon sky
the voice of wind starts to rise
and I am flying up high
and from the heart of the Earth
I hear a motherly sigh:
„the space all around me
is made out of light“
Spaceship Earth
twinkling stars are scattered all over the sky
the homes of a many millions of souls
while my mind it stops just asking why
they all seem so close tonight
and lights come closer from neighbour Galaxies
our brothers are not far away it now seems
I’m on a crystal spaceship called the Earth
help me if I fall into the endless space
I found out that this is just another birth
in the ocean of time
I ride on an eagle made out of light
and touch the wind with my midnight flight
I reach for heaven that opens up in my heart
I long for peace for every soul breathing like me
oh sweet night please take my blues away
and turn my future worries into toys from yesterday
I’m on a crystal spaceship called the Earth
help me if I fall into the endless space
I found out that this is just another birth
in the ocean of time
I live my life with a loving heart
and it hurts when we are not together
but merely drifting apart
Eagle flight
hello my friend
I haven’t seen you for some time it seems
or wasn’t it even in this lifetime
what do you think ?
remember how we struggled
there was war on the left side
and poverty on the right
those were hard days
we merely tried to survive, anyway
don’t you worry about the night
we’ll take an eagle flight
and celebrate the beauty in your heart
that’s where we’re gonna start from (this time)
to dive into a velvet sea
of ancient mysteries
please don’t you worry about tonight
we’ll gonna be alright
Rescue me
Watch a young man’s eyes
Looking down without a surprise
He’s been hurting for so long
In a world where’s so much wrong
He has been born into poverty
And there’s no chance for a change
He found himself at the wrong side of the world
Where nothing can be arranged for him
He’s got no future
„Won’t you come and rescue me“(he says)
„From this deserted place
Won’t you try and set me free
And start a new human race
Without hate and division (a feast of Oneness)“
Feel a young girl’s soul
She’s been living without no goal
But with a busy mind
Luxury has made her blind
She seems to be born without compassion
All she cares is herself
She’s been restless all her life
And her heart wants to scream it out loud
„Won’t you come and rescue me“(he says)
„From this deserted place
Won’t you try and set me free
And start a new human race
Without hate and division (a feast of Oneness)“
I don’t know
searching in the darkness for something new
waiting in the cold for something true
doing things as the days go by
try to find out where there is a lie
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where can I stay ?
I don’t know
the pressure in my head is common
and days bring me discomfort
no way to tell you how I feel
I just don’t know what’s really real
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where can I stay ?
I don’t know
the air is charged electricly
I know it feels sharp and threatening
nearly all the time I’m manic
looking around I see it boiling
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where can I stay ?
I don’t know
Where I can be safe
her soft steps at night they lead down to the sea
with moonbeams of love she weaves her old memories
at night in my dreams she leaves softly her trace
a shadow of loneliness has coloured her sad eyed face
„a rain of tears within my heart
has caused my life to fall apart
I feel like I’m buried in a flesh coloured grave
please take me home where I can feel safe“
through the waves of the ocean she’s talking to the moon
whispering about ancient times that are coming back soon
I can hear her song yearning in an afternoon sky
and see the colours of her rainbow in a flock of birds passing by
„a rain of tears within my heart
has caused my life to fall apart
I feel like I’m buried in a flesh coloured grave
please take me home where I can feel safe“
Let me live again
I woke up this morning
with the blues next to my bed
the sky was just crying
inside of my head
so I’m trying to get out and face another day
please take your time and hear my plea
someone just told me
that the Earth was in pain
and humans so ignorant
well they are the only one’s to blame
let me live again
with nature all around me
let me ease her pain
and treat her with dignity
I fell into a restles sleep
with the blues inside my dreams
mother Earth hd shaken off
almost all of humanity
would you care about her love
would you dare to change your ways
and make a better world
create a peaceful place
for you and me
let me live again
with nature all around me
let me ease her pain
and treat her with dignity
I’m talking about your mother
I’m talking about her pain
talking ‚bout humanity
and the end of all that shame
that we’ve caused
put an end to all that shame
The inner child
„I come here into this small body that I do not understand
I come here to experience that I am loved“
it’s the inner child talking to you
and her voice in the wind is trying to come through
hey inner child how nice to meet you
„I awake in this world on this lovely Earth to feel that I am loved
loved by the sun and touched by the wind, loved by the beauty of sound
overwhelmed by my human senses I see life unfolding, I see love“
it’s the inner child that’s giving you a sign through the voice of the sky
she’s talking to you
„I have been away for a long time it seems not knowing about this way of being
and seeing everything like if it would be your very own self that you are looking at“
it’s the inner child reaching for you, try to communicate
it’s the inner child that’s awakening now
talking through your heart
she’s talking through your heart (please listen)
Expansion of the mind and soul
someday not so far from now
you will start to feel somehow
that there’s a different smell
that no one rally can’t tell
it’s all around and everywhere
expansion of the mind and soul
facing the future with a different goal
a change of life is coming from within
and there’s this new time gently slipping in
someday not so far away
you will face a brand new day
with coloured lights flying everywhere
in a strange and beautiful electric air
expansion of the mind and soul
facing the future with a different goal
a change of life is coming from within
and there’s this new time gently slipping in
let it flow let it grow
within your heart within your soul
Ocean of Light
looking back at my childhood
I see leaves playing in the sunshine
there were a million questions
but my heart it wasn’t waiting for answers
I just knew
the times were running wild
and changes were gonna come
to play the human game
I used to watch the seagulls fly
spreading their wings wide
I used to dream of mermaids playing
up in a blue sky
in an ocean of light
getting older I felt that my love it was fading
like the birds in the winter
a kind of sadness fell down on me
like a shadow of my own past fading
I just knew
the times were running wild
and changes were gonna come
to play the human game
I used to watch the seagulls fly
spreading their wings wide
I used to dream of mermaids playing
up in a blue sky
in an ocean of light
Going Home
I’m not so sure why but there are tears in my eyes
I’m heading home
I bow to the trees under my knees
‘cause I’m going home
I was wondering for so long
why they could not understand
so I decided to leave this place with dignity
and just like a man
How strange to see the wind in the trees
is calling my name
the moon silently is falling down
into an endless sea
I came here with the innocence
and curiosity of a child
and I could not figure out
how a man could kill his only wife
just taking her life
So I decided to leave this place I’m going home
I made up my mind and gave up my pride
heading home
Stars in my eyes are no more a surprise to me
I’m flying home
the sun’s left behind in a world that turned blind for me
I’m all alone in a magic storm
I’m heading home to the peaceful throne of the Lord

and there were times when we felt disintegrated
our minds were filled with the illusion of being apart
we didn’t know there was a bigger part within us
