EASY HEART (2014)
IT HAPPENS TO ME SOMETIMES
do you ever have fireflies in your mind
or bubbly water in your spine
do you ever think uh sweet life of mine
it happens to me sometimes
do you ever walk barefoot in the snow
and wonder “why do I like it
ain't it great not to know”
do you ever feel blessed by the sunshine
it happens to me sometimes
but sometines I'm foolin 'round in a coal mine
singing "who turned out the light ?"
like a bird in a cage with the door open
with dreams of dreams already broken
do you recall the scent of clothes
dried in the wind
and can you feel all the good it does within
do you ever think you're always in your prime
it happens to me sometimes
I've been looking for the light
inside your eyes
but you seem to always think about
the world and all it's lies
yeah life is surely crazy
and it's easy to despise
but there's beauty all around you
and it's a miracle I found you
and if you want life will astound you
it will astound you
I know I've got everything i need
and when I forget it's ignorance or greed
but mainly I feel blessed by the sunshine
it happens to me all the time
it happens to me all the time now
THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL
I'm a man and you're a woman
it might be needless to say
we are two souls and we're both human
but we never walk the same way
we live in two different countries
the language and the food are not the same
and I'm a man and you're a woman
and that's the beauty of it all
walk with me like two friends walk together
walk with me and share what there's to share
laughing at the crazy things we say and do
especially you
what's perfect what is true
walk with me like two friends walk together
walk with me and share what there's to share
let me be close enough
so I can smell your hair and touch your lips
what is perfect what is true
I'm your man and you're my woman
I guess that's needless to say
we are two souls and we're both humans
but we never walk the same way
the sunset has a slightly different colour
the wine that makes you warm it makes me fall
but I'm your man and you're a woman
and that's the beauty of it all
I SHOULD HAVE DANCED
the first time I saw you standing alone
I stood in awe of the beauty you own
desire flash flooding all through my veins
you broke into my heart that day
music was playing inside my head
I went to tell you but I froze instead
so hard to say now but I missed my chance
I can’t sleep i should have danced
I spied you walking, out on the street
asking myself, what's wrong with me
a love that hides too deep in a heart
is bound to get lost in the dark
somewhere in my head we talk easily
like the two lovers we ought to be
all of my jokes seem funny to you
gone is my fear and my blues
i should have danced
I saw a film it was in black and white
the credits came rolling up came the lights
I walked out of there and thought about love
don't it make fools of us all
so now I've bared, my soul to you
you can see it's a dream, and yet it's true
I'll be on my way now, see you around
it’s late and here comes the dawn
it’s late and here comes the dawn
somewhere in my head....

LET'S EMBRACE
we've been here for ages
singin the same song
the same old prayer
that we would get along
so I was late last night
you ask me why
why all these questions
would you have me lie
photographs will fade
there's no stoppin what will change
let's embrace that's how we met in first place
let's embrace that's what we did in first phase
now this is a symptom
you know she's just a friend
everything you see here
is through a tunnellense
you don't have to do this
narrow down the lines
just remember what made us fine
photographs will fade
there's no stoppin what will change
let's embrace that's how we met in first place
let's embrace that's what we did in first phase
we had a beautiful picture
we thought it was the same
then we tried to squeeze into a tiny frame
let's embrace that's how we met in first place
let's embrace that's what we did in first phase
let's embrace let's embrace
EASY HEART
easy heart
i think we new it from start
i felt the stutter of a tender spark
sway and swing
my god you’re such a pretty thing
lil' honey bee
you've got a sweet sweet sting
you just keep buzzin
buzzin’ round me
my oh my
my head’s a way up in the sky
you got me feelin’
feelin’ i could fly fly fly
what if we both agreed
to leave it as it is
to keep a precious moment
to keep a precious friend.
soft and bright
let’s take a walk in the night
you don’t have to a say a word,
everything’s all right.
easy heart
whether we’re together or apart
a love like this is
a perfect work of art
our love is a perfect work of art
what if we both agreed...
LET'S GO TO BED
let´s go to bed together
I need to feel your skin
against my skin
let’s have a talk together
I’ll do my very best to understand
your heart and your mind
let’s find a way together
I feel so lost in here
there’s no sensible direction
just a blind search for perfection
a lack of comprehension – and love
our souls our beautiful souls
these true souls of ours
our eternal, shining ever loving souls
that follow us and guide us
and tell us who we are
if we dare to listen if we dare to listen
if we’re wise enough
if we’re brave enough
if we’re still enough
to listen
let’s sing a song together
it’s been so long since I
heard the sound of a free voice
let’s light a light together
lets dream some better dreams
of a dignified direction
where the goal is not perfection
with reconciliation – and love
our souls our beautiful souls
these true souls of ours
our eternal shining ever loving souls
that follow us and guide us
and tell us who we are
if we dare to listen if we dare to listen
if we’re wise enough
if we’re brave enough
if we’re still enough
to listen
if we’re smart enough
if we’re strong enough
if we’re humble enough
WHEN I SEE YOU
I've danced on my lawn
I've danced in the wild
been looking for reasons
since I was a child
I've wandered in the woods
wondered if i ever could
find one like you
if I lost my mind
would you still love my soul
or would you be scared
by my lack of control
what is this thing called love
that's what i'm thinking of
when I see you
my compas it is broke
I see life as a joke
when i see you
one step at a time is good walkin
listening is better than talking
why do we only dream when we sleep
why this surprise by the things that we reap
I have my feet
on two different boats
I will be happy
if just one of them floats
my compas it is broke
Ii see life as a joke
when I see you
those who can't hear the music
think the dancers are mad
the music the music
there's nothing to add
when I see you
