She Knows

Have you seen her smile?
It seems like it’s been there for a while
And have you seen her eyes?
They are smiling in disguise
Have you seen her hair?
It is attached in strings and moves from everywhere
And have you seen her feet?
They are floating in a surface, nine feet deep
She travels on a stone
Her head gives her direction
She knows what she wants
She needs no protection
She knows
She knows
So go on with her
She knows what she wants
She lives by her soul
She knows where she’s going to
But has no goal
She sees behind you
And feels within
She has a drive
That makes her alive
That makes her, makes her, makes her
Fly…
So go on with her

Blum, Blum
Blum
Blum was as sideways born dog with yellow stripes and a purple hat. He sat every day on the stone next to the big old, big old willow tree.
Blum was a sideways born dog, yellow strips, grey points, a purple hat. He sat every day on a stone next to the great willow tree. He thought very deep thoughts, he thought very deep thoughts.
Some day, Salipha the snake came by, and she thought of some silent songs she would like to share with him. He wasn’t so thrilled so he put of his hat and threw it at Sisa the snake. Sisa had no patience so she bit him.

Silent Rain

Silent Rain, falls down gently on my silent head
While the people walk by my silent bed
And I watch them silently
Silent Rain falls down softly on your silent skin
While we talk together silently
And the tears flow through your cracks and lines
Oh all the places we know
They stay inside
Oh all the faces we show
They stay inside
Oh all the shapes we create
They stay inside, stay inside us
Silent songs are sung by the silent choirs
That are heard in the distant fog
Of the forest within us
And these silent songs
Are heard by the open hearts
That belong to the ones who dare to look inside
Ones who dare to uh
Ones who dare to look inside,
look inside, look inside
Ones who dare to uh
Ones who dare to ah
Ones who dare to look inside,
look inside, look inside

The Wolves

Come on with me into the forest
I will show you a place of mine
Come on hold my hand
Together we are standing still
Together we understand
Where the world is moving to
So come on with me
To a place where you’ll find
Find a heart that is hidden
In a nest underground
Where it shows and it knows
How not to be found
So come on with me
To a place where Ill hold your hand
And will show, show
Show you my heart
That is fragile, but protected
By some friends of mine:
The wolves
And when you found the place of mine
Where you find the heart of mine
You can take the heart of yours
And place it next to mine

Raindrop On A Rainbow
03:44
|
|||
|
I see a Raindrop fall in a jar of jam
And it crawls and it falls
And it sees if it can
I see a raindrop fall in the hands of a child
And it looks at it and smiles
And it says to it:
Look! You made my hands wet
Look! You made my skin wet
Look! you found a new place
And now it is gone
Now you are gone
I see a raindrop fall in between two lips
And it makes the kiss wet
And they smile
I see a raindrop fall on a pile of leaves
And they quiver, and they shiver
And it makes them sneeze
I see a raindrop falling on a raindrop
I see a raindrop falling on a raindrop
And it changes the colors of your skin
And it changes the colors of your skin
And it changes the colors...

Makadabababä says the one
Give me back my wonderful shoes
I wear them every day
I want them back to me
Makamedabadü says the other
Give me back my gloves
I need them to paint my masterwork
Makadadabedü says I, says I
I don’t see the problem here
You two dears
Why don’t you just share?
