khawaga
Two miles out of town, two people on a large balcony share souls and wine while the distant sound of the closing city fades away. The night takes control, and the conversation gets deep and long. Then the dawn climbs down from the hillside. Where did the hours go? They emerged into this song, which is the most emotional I ever wrote.
candlelights burning down softly
words flying swiftly away
revealing some fakes you have told me
while evening winds whisper : our day's gone astray
moonlight will best hide our patterns
twilight may be our best friend
they will take our dreams to a heaven
and drop them where noone will find them again
shine your light for the world to see
show your life and hide your dignity
blow your horn : it sounds smooth to me
though the echoes are leaving an ongoing disharmony
night flying moths now surrounding
in light from a far away town
it seems like some ghosts are compounding
a bright autumn night with the thoughts of or own
clouds cover up the horizon
with colors so scary and dark
the lives we are leading relie on
the tumbling clouds and their glittering spark
of the night as it passes away
comes the dawn if it finds our way
catch the dream : it's a fake but it's not
very far from the life we once thought of and never forgot
come with me now • it is time for departure
a long sleepless night has come through
pack up your things • you need nothing but courage
and I need just nothing but you
come some broken illutions and knots of confusion
but frightning and fear will be gone
there'll be valleys of hope with ease down the slope
as the sandman steps forwards • a watchman goes homewards
and night disappears into dawn
