I believe light is by your side.
Do you remember when we used to say:
“Don’t take these tears away”?
Do you remember when we used to play
at all those bitter games?
& now we’re feeling so high,
watch me & don’t let me down.
We’re gonna drink this great wine,
don’t forget the sound.
I believe light is by your side, I believe the moon is calling.
Time has told me: “Do you wanna cry?
the moon is by your side”.
Time has told me: “Do you wanna fly?
the sound is by your side”...
Wake my soul & shoot my brain
that’s always crying for a way,
‘cause time has told me: “Take this wave”.
Here we go, the sound is calling:
“Jim come home, ’cause Mary’s crying,
she loves to see the dragon’s eyes”.

A little bit of sunshine

A little bit of sunshine.
Open all the doors
& let the sun come back into my soul,
I wanna be lost.
Don’t bring the pain,
let me feel the sound, I’m mad about it.
I know that you’ll never let me down.
Mother of the sun,
would you like to fill my lonely soul?
I’m gonna try a little bit of sunshine,
it has been a long time living by the moon’s side.
Now I understand why everybody loves you.
Mary, we won’t be alone.

Mournful Mary

Mournful Mary.
Come back, come back soon,
mournful Mary, where are you?
I need you, come back, hurry up,
bring with you your empty heart.
You went from me
when I took those stupid pills.
I have told them I’m ok,
all I need’s your perfect wave.
I need your voice, I know it’s gonna be ok.
I need your voice inside my wild mind,
all is gonna be ok.

Around my soul
03:12

|

|
Around my soul.
It’s all about love,
it’s all about pain,
it’s all about disease.
Come on Mary, come back please,
around my soul.
I’m closing my eyes,
shaking my head,
dancing all alone.
Come on Mary, come back home,
around my soul.
If you come back I will find a place for you
around my soul, by the moon.
We won’t say we’re sorry drowning blame in wine,
around my soul we’ll survive.
Come on, open my veins,
& let the sound go rushing in,
now I’m flying so high,
why don’t you fly with me?

Easy come, easy go
03:46
|
|
||
|
Easy come, easy go.
I believe that life is pain with fading lights,
we are walking down to nowhere.
Come on, read my cards & make me feel alive,
will you tell me I will never die?
I’m an animal that’s trying to survive,
I would like to be so different.
When I listen to all these voices in my mind
I believe I’m wasting all my time.
The time has come, come on,
pray & say you’re sorry.
Say hello, cry & feel the glory.
All my hope is like a storm,
easy come & easy go.
All my hope is like the lightning in a storm,
easy come & easy go.
& the pain brings love,
& the love brings light,
& the light brings faith,
come on, give me one more life.
Will I touch the sky?
Will you tell me I won’t die?
Will you let me go alone?

Mary

Mary.
Stay by my way.
It has been a long time since you took this train.
Don’t tell me that the rain will fly away,
now I know how bitter it is, this game,
there’s no mercy, no time, no medicine.
Hey, I’d better go away,
the sound I was growing has brought the pain...
I’ll never know when the devil will set me free
rushing through my soul.
I’ll never know when the silence
will let me sing alone.
Mary I’ve lost my mind.
I’ll never know.
Where has it gone?
Will you let me live?

What a shame
06:44
|
|

What a shame.
Wandering in my mind lives a man with an odd sign,
asking why he has to be the one without sunshine.
Mary went a long time ago,
& she’s crying: “Jim, please, come on,
we will find the place where we belong,
we’ll find that sound”.
Something’s broken inside Jim,
that never, never could be fixed.
Someone said death lost his trail,
what a shame, what a shame.
Blinded by the moon he tried to escape, to leave my way,
but he realized he had his soul trapped in my brain.
Mary, why don’t you return?
Bring to us your mournful soul.
We will find the place where we belong,
we’ll find that sound.

Lovers anyway

Lovers anyway.
So the music’s going through the people.
Flashing moonlights, everybody wants to feel.
Mary was there looking for the nice boy,
& the nice boy looking for the words to say.
This will be the last time they’ll see them crash again.
“Let’s be lovers anyway”,
& at this time, she smiled & then softly said:
“Stop joking if you wanna kiss me.
Stop joking, where d’you wanna go alone?”
Fuse caught fire, everybody watching.
& the silence..., everybody felt the pain...
So you can’t feel love
& all that you say is you’re to blame
‘cause you didn’t know before...
Anymore, I can’t take it anymore,
I just want to be alone,
let me know, how can you say:
“Let’s be lovers anyway”?

The lights have gone
03:08

The lights have gone.
Jim wakes up,
taking time to make you cry,
because now you are fine,
& he comes back & then
he turns back,
like the eye of the storm, Jim never stops,
& he’s taking the light,
he’s coming & then he goes.
Turn off the lights,
I don’t mind.
Open the rage,
I don’t mind.
I don’t wanna know.
Oh no, the lights have gone, take everything you want.
Despite the cold blood in his veins,
despite the pain, despite the hate,
the sound is calling but the lights have gone,
she won’t be the lonely one.

I wanna take you home
03:50
|
|
||
|
I wanna take you home.
I’m walking down, wasting time,
with the ground in my eyes.
I’m falling down the hole, it’s ok,
I’m going home.
I shake my head & break the leash,
tell me how we got this disease.
I’m shaking off all the blame,
we’re backing down, oh, what a shame!
I believed you’d show me the way,
but before we go away,
there are some things I’d like to say.
I don’t know when you smiled,
I don’t know when you cried,
how can we let it go?
I wanna take you home.
& in fact we are happy with this life.
Yes, in fact we don’t want to split up.
I will know when you smile,
I will know when you cry,
how can we let it go?
I wanna take you home.

Jim

Jim.
My name is Jim but I don’t think I’m real. I’m just a dream.
A dream of someone who wants to be me.
I have a soul, the sound, the moon, the wine & precious time.
& now I live with Mary inside his mind.
He doesn’t know it but I think he loves
to live his life thinking he’s a god.
“Slide away”, I know that one day he’ll say to us:
“Go, slide away”.& the storm will go.
Won’t it be great when the storm has gone?

The sound
04:02
|
|
||
|
The sound.
Drugs & alcohol,
trips to India, looking for the sound,
the devil didn’t give Jim faith to keep on the way.
Mary went to Jim,
softly went into his brain through his ear,
& now her voice is ‘round his soul, to show him the road.
Calm down, now you can stop your pleadings,
come on, I know that you wanna feel that unique sound,
so come alone,
feel that unique sound you’re looking for.

Mary&Jim.
The moon now is falling down & light,
light is near, it’s waiting.
Trust me ‘cause you will touch the sound.
Trust me ‘cause I know that this time,
time will not let you down.
Look for the way, you will be fine.
Join the glory!
Join the moon, the wine, the sound, the glory.
I will be watching,
dreams are hard to live but you know it’s time.
There you go, beyond the storm,
Mary&Jim slide away, go way back home
‘cause the sound is calling...
Isn’t it great?
The storm is going.

Kill me softly
04:29

|

Kill me softly.
I told them I was pleased to meet the darkness,
made me feel good.
Now I wait for those moments
when you took me out of that place.
I only want to suffer if you kill me softly,
& I don’t want the glory, come on, kill me softly.
