Near To You 03:17
When there is no more chemistry When there is nothing more to see When I know summer will not bring you back to me I follow the sound Playing in the street And that’s what I can do And I will follow the drift And I follow the light Out of the blue I follow my heart I follow my nose And away I go When I will do all those things How near can I get to you? When I don’t see much sympathy When there’s just fear inside of me When I know summer will not be for another year I follow the wind In the willow tree And that’s what I can do I follow the drift And I follow the light Out of the blue I follow my heart I follow my nose And away I go When I will do all those things How near can I get to you? When I have lost my inner key When there are clouds in front of me When I know summer soon will be just a memory

Crazy Love 04:10
A heartbeat A shy look And my feet going cold It’s crazy love before I know it A surprise fair and square Only went round a corner On my sad way back from work Look what has now become of me! No way I’ll wait till December When it’s alright to feel Just where has the year gone And you’re someone I never knew It’s life’s little pleasures Was not more than a glimpse But it feels so good A boom chuck A light touch And your heart skips a beat It’s crazy love before you know it The biggest miss of your life Play it over and over But the penny drops too late Would have been yours and ready to run I cannot wait till December When it’s alright to think Just where has another year gone And you’re someone I never knew Just a bittersweet moment Why all good things have to pass When it feels so good

Wait For Me 03:39
Come May come June The days are in full bloom The blood as light as wine And a vagabonding heart In time to come it will it will be yours Back then I was too young Got easily upset Reject things out of hand So beautiful you are One day I’ll be I’ll be your perfect match In May in June I always think of you At night my fondest thoughts Unasked they turn to you The way you left you left me without words From May till June Time just runs away The wind carries your name And blows it in my ear From the ashes of the ashes of the past Wait for me Wait for me It’s only June It’s not too late for you It’s only June You will come soon Tonight it would be fine would be fine by me

Rain 04:46
Rain Coming down Summer rain Falling down From the sky Onto our heads In silver lines The morning breaks Into the brook Down to the sea We’re off the hook Careless and free Can’t stop the clock From going round The ifs, the ands, the buts We’ll never know Rain Coming down Summer rain Falling down Gentle drops Fall on the skin Like lonely tears On unmade beds A distant call A change of light I’m maybe small Lost in the night Can’t stop your love From growing cold The ifs, the ands, the buts We’ll never know And wash me down Drench me to the bone That muddy brown It was once our town Can’t stop the time Can’t stop the rain The ifs, the ands, the buts We’ll never know

Stuck 03:10
Stuck with myself Stuck with myself Nobody’s taking any note Stuck with myself Stuck in a poor man’s cafe Give me oh give me Give me a chance Only a moment To show what I've got Time’s going fast Time’s going fast The blink of an eye and you are gone Time’s going fast Time hasn't really been a friend Crime doesn't pay Crime doesn't pay That is what mother used to say Crime doesn't pay But beyond doubt you got away Give me oh give me Give me a chance Only a moment To show what I've got Give me oh give me Give me a chance To live for the moment That’s all that I've got

So unusual to be near you It’s so unusual to be here It’s so unusual to be foolish To be walking right into the sun It’s so unusual to be fearless It’s so unusual to feel drunk It’s so unusual to be careless To be dancing right until the end Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-naa Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-naa You must be an illusionist This burning love this chromatic twist The way you play my broken strings I’ve not heard them before So unusual to feel naked It’s so unusual to be touched It’s so unusual to find shelter To find a home under the endless sky It’s so unusual to surrender It’s so unusual to feel weak It’s so unusual to feel perfect With my weaknesses so much exposed

My girl She’s not the wavering kind Hey my girl She’s not the wavering kind I confess she’s no angel She’s hurt me many times But never would she let me Fall on hard times needlessly Uh-uh-uh Ah-ah-ah Right away that’s what she’s like My girl She’s not the wavering kind Hey my girl She’s not the wavering kind We fell in love on Tuesday We got married in a week She never changed her tune once It was all just such a breeze Uh-uh-uh Ah-ah-ah Right away that’s what she’s like Her heart does not start racing When the moon is on the rise And when I stumble in the darkness She always puts my mind at ease
