I freed myself from time,
Dust can pile up on my shelf
If I feel the urge to cry I will let the tears flow down
It’s a passport to remain no matter how far I will be,
It’s a passport to remain no matter how far I have been
It took me a little while it’s not easy to forget
Invisible hands surround me and trap all they can get
It’s a passport to remain no matter how far I will be,
It’s a passport to remain no matter how far I have been
Invisible hands surrounding me,
Invisible life is under me
Now I know what is self-love,
And I dance on the sidewalk,
With my tears I am cleaning up the dirt
It’s a passport to remain no matter how far I will be,
It’s a passport to remain no matter how far I have been

At Six
03:13
|

Wake me up at 6 so I can feel the breeze, so crisp
I’ll bring a souvenir of this sweet morning trip, a melody
To let it go is easy, isn’t it?
The birds are still sleeping for once I feel at peace with me
I woke up at six and left the misery under my sheets
Come and see, it’s free
To let it go is not easy, you are the morning light
That I missed so much
“It’s ok to cry”,
She said “it’s ok to cry”

A friend told me she is going to be rich,
A pop star, a diva, a dancing queen
She’ll play a show with Billie at Town Hall,
I can’t stop the daydream and kill this all
She’s stuck in a Fantasy, she’s stuck in a Fantasy, It’s real
I met Jean-Paul in a Cafe a while ago
He’s so tall, he’s a lonely Astronaut
He's been to Mars, he travels space and time
"My dad should be proud of me after all"
He’s stuck in a Fantasy, he’s stuck in a Fantasy, it’s real
But there is nothing, it’s just a dream
Someone, something
Someone, somewhere
No one, nowhere
Stuck in a Fantasy, he’s stuck in a fantasy, it’s real

What Was Your Day Like
02:50
|

Icy blue eyes tell me your story,
Your hands are shaking, a tear is running down
You look nervous, Are you tired of them all?
You look nervous, Are you tired of this all?
A Perfect makeup to hide the signs of time
That you can't accept at all
Your eyes pierce me every time I cross your sight,
Tell me something, Tell me a Story
What was your day like?
What was your day like?
Where are you going? Where are you going?
What was your day like?
Icy blue eyes,
Before you go away, get off this train
Wave me goodbye
What was your day like?
What’s your story? What was your day like?
Tell me something, Are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid?

The Highway

An owl lands on the side of the road.
Turn its head to look at me, but I am going to fast
I’m trying to decide
Trying to decide
Is this what we want?
Clean air, great stars
I am trying to decide
Clean air, great stars
I am trying to decide
I’m trying to decide
I’m trying to decide

This is a Dance

Long is the night for the souls
That can't rest
Long are the days stuck in bed
‘Cause I really don't know why
These days are turning pretty dark
We share the night
With the souls that can't rest
We share the sky but we are safe
From harm but they, they are not so far away
‘Cause I really don't know why
These days are turning pretty dark
I am looking for that rhythm that makes me dance and laugh hard
Lord, can you explain, in simple words
My hope is nowhere to be found today
‘Cause I really don't know why
These days are turning pretty dark

Wild Strawberries
02:49
|
|||
|
Her gold is poured into me,
So I planted seeds of peace, wild strawberries
Cause she forgot all the love we gave
Your heart grew cold and still, like a barren field
She wasted her life waiting for golden moments
And now she looks back all she sees it’s a dreary scene
She looked in silence at the new moon,
And thought that she could reach her gravity
She knows now all the love she missed,
She never gets down on her knees to plant those seeds
She wasted her life waiting for golden moments
And now she looks back all she sees it’s a dreary scene

My Eyes
03:18
|

|
Of the winter I ignored
All the signs and I've been warned
To swim, To stay afloat
While the tide was rising
Of the spring I embraced the scent
That had filled the entire land
And My eyes were shining again
My eyes were shiny
Of September's mellow haze
I took with me only a dream
Where I swim, I stay afloat
And the sea becomes my mom
Cold, vague, dark
Cold, vague
And My eyes were shining again
My eyes were shiny
And My eyes were shining again
Hiding things they can’t forget

Hotel Sereno

There's room on your picnic blanket
Green dots and a fancy basket
You're alone, I wish we could talk
But I am shyly watching from a far
Here I am on my tiny blanket,
Shades of blue, I am eating an apple
You seem so calm I wish we could talk
I feel heavy, I am reading an old book
Hey, you are my half, you are indeed
You are the part of me that I would never leave
There's room on your picnic blanket
A cute pup is happy to lay there
Next to you, she feels so secure
Your hair shines I wish I was there too
Here I am on my tiny blanket
In the park where I came and found it
The other half, the best part of me
So Cheerful, wearing new white jeans
Hey, you are my half, you are indeed
You are the part of me that I would never leave
You are my half, you are indeed
The part of me that I believe

Slow Down (About a Dog)
02:54
|

|
What remains? Here you lay
Take me away, slow down, slow down
Don’t walk away
In my arms, but you are gone
Why don’t you stay? Slow Down, slow down
Take me away
Take me away, slow down, slow down
Don’t leave me here
Here’s my song...
