I am grey, still on the page
Oh colour me in
Just an outline, sketchy but fine
Oh colour me in

If green is chasing the hills over miles
If blue is pursuing the sky
If the red of your heart doesn't mind
Where to begin to colour me in

Something new and nothing to do
I'm just the idea
I must be real cause somehow I feel
That I'm just the idea

Let's share the blue of the towering sky
The green of the hills that run by
Leave the red of your heart to decide
If you cannot choose which colour to use

I'll always wait, it's never too late
To colour me in
To colour me in

Today or next year
I'll always be near
if you want to colour me in

. . .


Captured under hypnosis
Faster and faster images
Can a meaning be obtained
Or this mystery explained

I'm in orbit
Held by magnet
And the force fields
So much closer than love

Logic offers no defence
Underneath this influence
While this puzzle of intent
Holds emotion in suspense

I'm in orbit
Held by magnet
And the force fields
So much closer than love

Caught between the day and night
And a knot that pulls too tight

I'm in orbit
Held by magnet
And the force fields
So much closer than love

. . .


Here again, at the end
Before the beginning
So the salt will spill again
Throw it over your shoulder

Oh it's in tomorrow
Fortune or sorrow
Wait you may win
I don't mean to show
That I know how this goes
Before we begin again

You may hide on one side
And me on the other
You may speak but wait for me
Should my sentence faulter

Oh it's in tomorrow
Fortune or sorrow
Wait you may win
But now it feels empty
There's no need in guessing
Before we begin again

So here we are again
Back to the beginning
So the salt will spill again
Throw it over your shoulder

Oh it's in tomorrow
Fortune or sorrow
Wait you may win
But now it feels empty
There's no need in guessing
Before we begin again

. . .


Inside the mask another disguise
I fall to sleep before closing my eyes
Tiredness draws, in my head a cartoon
Sun at the window, good things coming soon

Shake your earrings over my head
Lay down your dreams on my pillow
Before bed

The silence of ice at the borders of day
Sun in my face will not keep them away
Sinking into the white of your room
Sky through the curtain, good things coming soon

Shake your earrings over my head
Lay down your dreams on my pillow
Before bed

. . .


The sky is faint
There tears remain in me
The rain has stopped falling

The fading light
Walls barely white in me
The night has stopped calling

I will not lament with the sky
No longer feel night on the inside

Here in this room
No more a tomb
Thoughts of you conclude without ending

Caution will keep
Worries still speak
Fewer the leaves are descending

The lonely distance and time
The only tears willing outside

I will not lament with the sky
No longer feel night on the inside

. . .


How sweet the bells
How sweet the bells
But what can they tell
Of heaven and hell

Too brief the sound
Too brief they sound
And yet they resound
With the world

Ah...
Menschen und Wind ändern geschwind
Ah...
Menschen und Wind ändern geschwind

. . .


I wait on the stairs for a break in my mind
Let the balloons go outside
Let the balloons go outside
I wait on the stairs for my thoughts to align
You are the sun in my mind
You are the sun in my mind

Clouds rock like a ship at sea
Sooth the waves of injury
Clouds rock like a ship at sea
Sooth the waves of injury

I wait on the stairs, there's a view in my mind
Objects of love in the sky
Objects of love in the sky
I wait on the stairs for my thoughts to be kind
What better view will I find
What better view will I find

Inflated with transparency
Float away my injury
Inflated with transparency
Float away my injury

Let the balloons go outside
Let the balloons go outside

I wait on the stairs for a break in my mind
Let the balloons go outside
Let the balloons go outside

Let the balloons go outside...

Black Umbrellas

[No lyrics]

. . .


oh let me sail away
on the beach and on the earth
the boats on the sea are blissfully freee
they will come to no harm
cuz the waves are so calm

oh let me think a while
to the playground of your smile
the wind through the flame
whistles your name
though you said good bye
you did not leave my mind

oh i've got to get away
from this town don't want to face
the ominous clouds

but not now
not now
not now

i've got to find a place
be myself and learn to face
the ominous clouds

but not now
not now
not now

i want to sail away
want to look back on the day
and hide with my hand
what's left of the land
though I leave it behind
it will not leave my mind

oh i've got to get away
from this town don't want to face
the ominous clouds

oh not now
not now
not now

i've got to find a place
be myself and learn to face
the ominous clouds

but not now
not now
not now

. . .

Distorsion

Oh How I Miss You
(Repeated)

. . .


The little bell lies on the ground
Although it tries it cannot sound
It used to ring across the air
Its sweetened tone would linger there

But from a careless hand it rocked
Its shell is only made of crock
Although it lies there split in two
It still tries to ring out to you

Now deep inside my wooden clock
There is a tick but not a tock
Although into the room it chimes
It only tells me half the time

Why do you leave me so confused
I'll miss my bus, my job I'll lose
Oh what is wrong my wooden clock
It breaks my heart to see you stop

. . .


Snow lies all around
There's no sense of doubt
You are the only one
To keep me sane when all is wrong

Oh my heart
Waits in winter now

Deep in every dream
Though you're far from me
There in the deepest snow
I only wanted you to know

Oh my heart
Waits in winter now

Falling quietly
There reminding me
Though it's just a dream
You're closer than you've ever been

Oh my heart waits in winter now

. . .


Sow the seeds
Of everything to be
Safe in sleep
I winter in my dreams

Speak your words
Define your grief for me
Out of reach
Some things just can not be
