Tonight I´ll cry for you Stuttgart, 11.07.1978
* 01 * Nr.: 067
Here I am when I was young
alone again we had so much fun
I think no kind of sorrow and now the news of your death
could beat me more is waiting at my door
when I was young sometimes I thought of you
we had so much fun sometimes I did not
and now the news of your death tonight I´ll cry for you
is waiting in my door tomorrow maybe I won't
sometimes things hurt me but I did'nt help you when I could
and sometimes they don't oh I know I never tried
sometimes I'm lonely never really tried
and sometimes I'm not my friend
they didn't help you when they could here I am
I know they've never tried alone again
never really tried I think no kind of sorrow
my friend could beat me more
here I go here I go
I wish you'd know and I wish you'd know
that all the things you said that all the things you said
are in my head are in my head tonight
tonight
In our destiny Berlin, 19.10.1980
* 02 * Nr.: 099
Oh I remember you walking in the sun and I was sleeping at your side
and the street oh how I miss your breath at night
echoing with your laughter your head on my shoulder
and I still can see you do you remember us sitting on a bench
standing in the rain on platform number ten
telling me your pain of a late night railway station
your teardrops on my hand
was it all as it had to be
was it all as it had to be was it planned in our destiny
was it planned in our destiny is it but a memory now fading away
is it but a memory now fading away
January come she will Berlin, 17.12.1980
* 03 * Nr.: 101
Little girl what will I do and when my face will smile again
when I'll be far away from you into the sun I'll shout your name
see January come she will thankful I will always be
take me away to winter's chill that I met you and you loved me
where in the distant city snow
my dreams will die and pain will grow little girl what will I do
when I'll be far away from you
´til when days will have passed by see January come she will
I'll ease my mind and stop to cry take me away to winter's chill
into my face the winds will blow where in the distant city snow
and life around will quietly flow my dreams will die and pain will grow
My dreams Berlin, 27.11.1980
* 04 * Nr.: 100
My dreams in the neon lights a world apart we might seem
of the city night still I dream
can't bring you back to me that we will meet again some time
my thoughts are floating out in vain my dreams in the neon lights
so I write your name of the city night
into the mist on the window pane can't bring you back to me
where are you now my thoughts are floating out in vain
here I am so I write your name
can't you see into the mist on the window pane
it's just reality
January tale Berlin, 16.01.81
* 05 * Nr.: 102
Silent winter's day emptiness my friend
children scream and play have you come again
snowflakes perform their symphony sing your answer to me do
in my back yard gallery oh I thought I had escaped from you
January tale but there you are
winter sky so pale still in my world
wind of thoughts inside my head and you follow me
but my love seems to be dead wherever I go
after all these years
and there you are
still on my mind silent winter's night
but I will not call you wind blows with all it's might
back again ballett of the midnight rain
after all these boken dreams frozen on my window pain
Lady of the light January tale
back again tonight winter steets so pale
caress me with your lonely eyes wind of thoughts inside my head
in a love that never dies but my love seems to be dead
and there you are
still on my mind
but I will not call you
back again
after all these broken dreams
From England's rainy coasts Stuttgart/Berlin, 28.09.1981
* 06 * Nr.: 107
Now I walk my ways in loneliness and I fill my void with fairy tales
there is nothing I can do that I make up in my mind
but to think of all the tenderness and I weave them out of hopes and dreams
that there was between me and you and of fantasies I find
and the rain keeps falling and the rain she cries
from the sky her silent song
from heavy clouds drifting in puddles and in trees
all the way along my way
from England's rainy coasts down to the busy town
and on and on and sings your name
and on and on I sing along
Autumn in the city Berlin, 23.09.1980
* 07 * Nr.: 098
My love it's Autumn in the city will I ever see your smiling face again
season that used to make me blue and feel the love you shared with me
but now I'm strolling down the pavements oh we had to part too early
singing melodies for you we cut the flower in the sun
that was just about to grow
and in my memory's illusions
you're walking down the road with me and I don´t know how I can tell you
and I can look into your eyes again how you´re going round in my head
oh I have tried before to tell you
do you remember how we were singing but I've repeated myself instead
in the street
do you think of me at all all I can do is sing this song now
or have you gone away to hide within and carry on while you're so far
your little world again I hope you understand the way
oh how I wish you'd let me in I love you as you are
and a new loneliness surrounds me are you sad or are you happy
one I have never felt before I don't know
I'm happy just to be alive oh what I´d give to bring you here
but I know now there can be more and if you need me do not wait
you know I'll never turn away my love
and in the silence of these new days I want you to be glad
sometimes I can't believe at all
that I have ever been to England
and broken through the wall
Don't be too fast Freiburg, 25.01.1979
* 08 * Nr.: 071
Oh I would'nt mind please don't cut down
if you took what you need what I've loved all those years
but don't go oh please and if you and if you feel like breaking up
for you know how I feel don't be too fast
´cause it's morning in my eyes cause my memories always shine
´though it's evening in my soul and there's so much loving on my mind
and I know that you want to go but I know that you want to go
On my wall white and cold Berlin, 27.04.1981
* 09 * Nr.: 105
On my wall white and cold you know sometimes things get better
there's poetry of you and sometimes things get worse
and on the photograph near by oh how I wish you knew I care
you smile so tenderly to me how I wish you knew I care
I think of what you thaught me you are not alone
I think of what you are there are friends about
what a friend you are to me don't you worry about your future
what a friend you are to me how I wish you knew I care
with your silent words
with your poetry And on my wall white and cold
with your smile of loving silence there's poetry of you
how glad I am to call you a friend and on the photograph near by
you smile so tenderly to me
On my wall white and cold
there's poetry of you
and on the photograph near by
you smile so tenderly to me
Silly little game Berlin, Winter 1981
* 10 * Nr.: 109
What a silly little game oh I know that I was wrong
I know it´s easy to explain thinking it was going on
when I think about it logically ´cause it was too early then to dream
hold your letter in my hand and the dreams unwind
and somehow I can understand and love is all you find
everything you try to say to me at least that´s what you wrote to me
and it might be true
but can´t you see
that in this emptiness but can´t you see
there´s nothing left to me that when I´m empty
but freedom all that´s nothing else to me
freedom but beautiful words
like I was free before I met you beautiful words
and there´s nothing left to me
but a lovely memory
Picturebook Chesham, 12/16.12.1979
* 11 * Nr.: 087
And so I have to leave you now and I'm writing letters to my home
although I hate to go that's covered now with snow
I turn pages in my picturebook to friends who once have shared
I look for a page I know this life with me
stare through my window they come and go
no place to go I see their faces before my eyes
your train is leaving in the morning sun I hear their voices speak to me
my love where have you gone their love will set me free
see another lonely weekend and frosty mornings misty nights
with wind crying through my hair leave crystals in the streets
the last remaining morning mist a winter Lady is walking softly
is clearing everywhere with frostwork on her feet
dead leaves are falling winter breeze crying
memories are calling the year is dying
dark clouds are drifting across the sky the last December days are here
oh Autumn made me cry and without a sound they dissappear
You´re gone Berlin, 05.10.1981
* 12 * Nr.: 108
I always knew that it might happen I've got no reason to believe
why do I cry so many tears you'll ever come back to my door
there's nothing I can do about it I've rather reason to believe
and it will pass off with the years that you don't need me anymore
I can't believe that it came true
I always knew that it might happen
you're gone you're gone that I'd get a letter saying no
you're gone and here I'm standing in my doorway
I don't know where I could go
I only hope that you are happy life is so cold
that it was worth killing my dreams when you're on your own
´cause you know it isn't easy
when you're not in the winning team so good-bye good-bye to you
why did you go good-bye
you know I need you so
come home come home to me
come home ( I'm so alone )
I need you Stuttgart, 11.01.1976
* 13 * Nr.: 029
There's only the wish to be with you on my mind I need you I need you
and thoughts of you float through my head my world is so empty
all I want to do is write a lovesong for you when I'm without you
but I can't please don't leave me alone
outside my window there's rain from the sky I love you I love you
a dark lonely grey rainy Sunday and I've got to tell you so much
bringing the memories the emptiness but I can't
back into my mind no my love I can't
Endless game Berlin, 21.07.1984
* 14 * Nr.: 114
Snowfall rainfall magic coat light and secret endless game
covering my restless road oh I'll never know what is your name
I am dancing through my world you look into my eyes again
I don't know who I am and still I don't know what you see
so don't you call me by my name so don't you ask me for my love
I cannot meet all your demands out there I cannot give you what you would not take
I don't know where you are it's you who must decide
dreamcoat words reality all the world's a theatre
are mingling in my fantasy a symphony a play for me
I've opened up my eyes to see and when I was a little boy
it's such a long long time ago I collected lots of toys
so don't you tell me what is real and today it's still the same to me
imaginations are realities when I look 'round I take what I can see
I don't know what you see and it is nothing but a game to me
all the world's a theatre snowfall rainfall magic coat
a symphony a play for me covering my restless road
and when I was a little boy I am dancing through my world
I collected lots of toys I don't know who I am
and today it's still the same to me so don't you call me by my name
when I look 'round I take what I can see I cannot meet all your demands out there
and it is nothing but a game to me I don't know where you are
The stream Chesham, 1/2.05.1980
* 15 * Nr.: 089
You know a long long time ago you're floating on just like a stream
I said that pain was all I had you couldn't wait for her or him
Now with the new life that I found
I see the beauty all around now that I've found what only was a dream
and what was real
but you got better things to do I've come to talk to you
than wait until it is too late I want to tell you how I feel
Sirens of love Berlin, 12/13.07.1984
* 16 * Nr.: 113
She opened her door garden gate magic stone we were drifting we were flowing
and light was there from the beginning we were moving on
she gave me her deamons we were drifting we were flowing
her fairies her gnomes ( we were )
sirens of love conquer singing we were moving on
( moving on )
and I was falling oh I's falling
and I'm falling still but death's an observer sitting in the first row
has set the clock right at the start
I was falling oh I's falling now the music is over people get up and go
( I was ) I feel how it's splitting my heart
and I'm falling still
( falling still ) my heart's beating oh it's beating
it's still beating on
life asked us to its perpetual dance
princess and chester were chosen my heart's beating oh it's beating
we smiled at each other ( my heart's )
took each other's hands it's still beating on
our steps were so easy and fast ( beating on )
can't stop beating can't stop beating
( can't stop )
can't stop beating on
( beating on )
Not a time for lovesongs Berlin, FEB/MAR 1990
* 17 * Nr.:121
My angels tell me this is and my angels know this is
not a time for lovesongs not a time for lovesongs
you can't open up your heart you can´t open up your heart
they never understand they´ll stab you from behind
and so I'll never tell your name and so I wouldn´t tell your name
because you'll laugh at me because you´ll laugh at me
and everybody will and everybody will
my voices tell me my fairies whisper this is
that each innocence we speak about not a time for happy endings
finally will die everybody seems to know but me
and so they ask me to conceal my feelings ´cause I´m still dreaming
not to disclose them of a place to stay
it only makes me cry and give my heart forever to the one I love
our new love is lost and in vain we´ll be lost we´ll be gone in the wind
butterfly sets out in heavy rain sooner than we think we strive in vain
like it's wings sure will never come to fly and the road that we once chose to take
it has to die before it lives we´ll only walk down once
but not again
my fairies whisper this is
not a time for happy endings my fairies whisper this is
and everybody seems to know but me not a time for happy endings
'cause I'm still dreaming and everybody seems to know but me
of a place to stay and give my heart ´cause I´m still dreaming
forever to my love of a place to stay
and give my heart forever
my eyes are crying to my love
when they see you smile because I know
you'll never smile for and my heart is crying
so I hear my dreams when I see you smile because I know
they call for you you´ll never smile for me
you'll never know them and I hear my dreams
I tell them what to be they call for you
you´ll never hear them
and then I see you get up and go I tell them what to be
and leave your footprints in the snow
that´s on my land my angels know that this is
it feels as if I have lost you forever not a time for lovesongs
´though in reality I never you can´t tell them what you feel
took your hand
The spell of the music Berlin, November/Dezember 1989
* 18 * Nr.: 120
When I was young I used to walk out in the rain so my unborn children's smile I left behind
and wait for melodies that would express my pain forgot all about that music on my mind
needing no one to see no one with me ´cause after all they just break your heart
just the spell of the music you lie awake one of these mornings
in sorrow
as I grew up I followed talkative ideas
learned all these languages and as the world wind is blowing
and tried to speak my fears and our lifetime is flowing away
and then I dreamed of a heart the things that we learn
dreamed of a heart about those things we better forget
to grow old there beside me build the stories we store in our heads
when our lovelife is dead
and as the world wind is blowing
and our lifetime is flowing ´cause we realise they stab us from behind
and the things that we learn and not a fragile dream
and the things we forget we may keep on our minds
build the stories we form in our heads and our tenderness dies slowly inside
when our childhood is dead and all around us just bodies and flesh
but then I realised they stab you from behind So like when I was young I walk out
and not a fragile dream in the rain and wait for melodies
you may keep on your mind that would express my pain
and your tenderness dies slowly inside needing no one to see no one with me
and all around us just bodies just the spell of the music
still I dream of a heart
dream of a heart
to grow old there beside me
By the Sea Berlin, Mo, 2o.11.95
* 19 * Nr.: 123
I see you fold up your table that stood by the sea - you're not talking to me, you're only walking away - and you fill up your wardrobes with lousy memories, that won't live up to you and me
after all that we´ve said, the confessions we made - when we spoke but the truth about the feelings we felt - when we opened our hearts for each other to see
and now I stand by my window and look at the rain - and the leaves in the wind take my feelings along - I see them blow down the pavement into a distant light that never shone on my love
after all that I´ve said, the confessions I made - when I spoke but the truth about the feelings I felt - when I opened my heart for you plainly to see
and you'll remain but a puppet in my lonely game - 'though you're eyes showed a truth I will not find again - and I feel how I'm falling to where I came from when you picked up my love from the cold
after all that she said the confessions she made to me - she spoke but the truth about the feelings she felt for me - she opened her heart for me plainly to see
so I pick up my suitcase that I lost in the light - find no words to call out as you walk out of sight - I keep your picture inside me as you walk away - there's no more fairies these days
after all I made up and my secrets I kept - and I told you but lies about the feelings I felt
and I closed up my heart so that you wouldn't know
stand by my window and look at the rain - and the leaves in the wind take my feelings along
feel them blow down the pavement into a distant light that never shone on my love
after all that I´ve seen all the dreams that I dream - fairy tales I have told tears I weep in the cold - when I open my heart will the world laugh at me
you'll remain but a puppet in my lonely game - 'though you're eyes showed a truth I will not fight against - and I feel how I'm falling to where I came from when you picked up my love from the cold
little boy by the sea hides his tears brilliantly - and he speaks common sense about what's clearly to see - and the wind curls the waves and the light dies of shades
I see you fold up your table that stood by the sea - you're not talking to me you're only walking away - you fill up your book shelves with lousy memories, that won't tell you about me
after all that we´ve said the confessions we made - when we spoke but the truth about the feelings we felt - when we opened our hearts for each other to see
Moments in time Berlin Freitag, 22.o3.96
* 20 * Nr.: 124
Morning paper loving you will never be
letters never sent the same to me again
fading faces of those and you will never know
who once were friends that I miss you so
loving you will never fading moments in time
feel the same to me again and a love that is mine
and I will never know is now put on the shelf
why I love you so
one more coffee
one more coffee another cigarette
another cigarette it's fairly easy
it's fairly easy to get it through my head
to get it through my head
but holding you will never
but holding you will never feel the same to me again
feel the same to me again and I won´t let you know
and I won't let you know that I love you so
that I still love you so
fading moments in time
fading moments in time and a love that is mine
and a love that is mine is now put on the shelf
is now put on the shelf
morning paper
morning sunlight letters never sent
and late night summer rain fading faces
tell me softly I'll be with you again of those I once called friends
but seeing you will never but holding you will never
be the same for me again feel the same to me again
and will never know and I won't let you know
where your love will go that I still love you so
Late night candle fading moments in time
and memories in my head and a love that was mine
words unspoken there it is on the shelf
and written down instead
