this is our only night
by the morning light we disappear
come to me
i'm floating over Madrid this time
above the town centre
raise your eyes from the 5th floor and see
(it's our last night
i came here to find
the warmth of your smile
a picture is all you left behind)
you are my only one tonight
we will stay forever
Track Name: Long Way
i know it's been a long time
and i've always told you there are words you won't hear in a song,
even when you know it's written for you
i was thinking about the moment we started
the moment we both wanted
how long has it been?
how would it be if we hadn't met?
i had a dream about this
but i'm not sure if you had the same
...
i had a dream that we woke up together
in full bloom
it was spring
and we were lying under the sun
are these all memories?
i wondered through your eyes
i had a dream where we weren't talking
while saying so much
but suddenly i felt so frightened
realising it was not real at all
while talking to you and you were not speaking
i just imagined you were talking back to me
and now i feel i have nothing to say
i'm totally void
i cannot feel anything
i cannot write anything
-
i'm just waking in the same dream
i had this dream, three times the same night
there were long shadows running in the night
and i was feeling so frightened
it was raining so hard
i was just looking from my window
it suddenly all became dark
it was night
i walked down the stairs
and i was running after them
i thought i saw you running among them
there were so many people
and i was so lost
i walked down the stairs
and just didn't know why
i just don't know why
i just don't know why i keep running
i'm just feeling like i'm still running
i don't know anyone
and i can't find you anywhere
i can't find you anywhere
...i don't know anyone anymore
and i can't find you anywhere
...
i know it's been a long time
and i've always told you there are words you won't hear in a song,
even when you know it's written for you...
Track Name: In Sunshine
just let yourself free
it's time to live
don't look behind
let the past flow away
just let yourself free
you don't have to be afraid
afraid
i'm on the way...
i'm on the way...
i'm in my way...
coming closer
sunshine comes inside
out of mind
guided by insight
Track Name: Bitter
now come and stay
now come and see my face
you've done before
been waiting long for you to talk
if that's the end
i want to know it
you're here and say
it's up to me to go or stay
What binds two lives
what's in two people's minds
solitude, love, routine, need, sex or pure desire?
it's hard to name
i think words spoil the charm
how did you feel?
What did we have? Was it enough?
i feel sad for all we didn't live
for all you didn't feel
yet sweet moments come in mind
feelings, contact, pleasure, since we crossed the line
i feel sad for all we didn't live
for all I didn't hear
yet sweet moments come in mind
mornings, warm nights, music, since we crossed the line
i'm tired of trying, waiting for so long
no more, no more
this is the end, now I feel ready to go, I go...
Track Name: Now that we are...
i wonder how is your life without me
do you breathe in dreams
while you float into the sky with me
i woke up by the sound of rain
seeing your figure fading
as you stood right there above my eyes
did we live inside a lie
i'm still looking for the shine
that I imagined you and I would share
i wonder how is your night without me
how are your dreams with me
do you ever feel alone like me
i woke up in a grainy picture
on a misty mountain
and it was you standing in front of me
you 're walking wandering in my thoughts
i'll be slowly fading out
till I see the world through you again
Track Name: Skies Ending
we are travelling through light in spring
we are the air passing through your hair
we are the air you breathe among trees at night
you are the warmth we feel on the ground
we are still floating into the stars
waiting for the day we reach the mirror in your eyes
we are still floating into the stars
searching for a place hidden in the sky
we took care of you all this time
you've been looking for us,
we are so happy we are alone
we are so happy we are together
