<\/span>Signal<\/div>
take my breath away
\na friend is when he stays
\ntake my fear away
\na friend is when she stays
\ngive me a sign, maybe falling from the sky please give me a signal<\/p>\n

is this the way of my life, the right way, the right time and place or wasted space, I don\u2019t think so. I see it in her face, near endless grace and when she smiles the sun arises. I regret nothing. I only hope and wish it will last a life with lots of kids, maybe five?!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m scared of being alone, losing home, getting unknown. send me a signal when the time has come to be honest, prepared, when my heart is free to be a father for my little son, one for the rest of my life, for the smile of my wife. I only need a sign to reach out for cloud nine<\/p>\n

take my breath away, a friend is when she stays and every day I like her, I love her, enfold her and when it\u2019s cold outside I hold her tight, she\u2019s in the middle of my world and every little thing is for her. \u201efollow her\u201c, I hear you say, \u201eand never let her go\u201c<\/div><\/div>\n

<\/span>New Broom Sweeps Clean<\/div>
spells of confusion
\u2028questions in my head
\u2028maybe that\u2018s a sign
\u2028maybe that\u2018s the time to bear the challenge and break the wall
\u2028forward to the unknown into the free fall<\/p>\n

I don\u2018t want to hide
\u2028behind familiar
\u2028sequences and stuff
\u2028I don\u2018t need more time to accept responsibility
\ncause everyone knows that new broom sweeps clean<\/p>\n

may our new year\u2018s pledge
\ncome true for you and me
\nmay our gladness stay
\nunto our faces and let candour and conversation
\n guide us and help through the times of our life
<\/div><\/div>\n

<\/span>Inside Outside<\/div>
it\u2018s raining outside
\nthis cold wind\u2018s blowing
\nclouds in the air
\ndark and grey<\/p>\n

the world is outside \u2013 stay inside \u2013 stay inside<\/p>\n

I crawl under my blanket
\nand it fells so familiar
\u2028you know with my love by my side
\nwe are in a dream and take a ride<\/p>\n

my sunshine\u2018s inside \u2013 not outside \u2013 not outside
\u2028
\nI sit back and hear the rain crackling on our window
\nand time is passing by \u2013 wake up, realize<\/p>\n

\u2028now cleared up outside
\nraindrops on the window
\nI can feel the sun
\nonce again
\u2028
\nthe world\u2018s not inside \u2013 but outside \u2013 but outside <\/div><\/div>\n

<\/span>In A Constant State Of Flux<\/div>
unseated on a narrow stream seems like living in a dream, but you feel good
\nfamily and friends are near, trying to take away your fear, and you feel good
\nthey are teaching you to sail, set the flag and blaze the trail, and you feel good
\ncome try a step into your boat, pack your bag and hit the road, so you feel good<\/p>\n

now you leave safety fairway, waving hands from back in bay, but you feel good
\nfollow the river to the sea, left and right you see some trees, but you feel good
\nyou have to leave some friends behind, some pass by once in a while, but you feel good
\nbe sure you\u2018ll always find your home and family, you\u2018re not alone, you feel good<\/p>\n

sometimes the view is clear and free, sometimes foggy or one degree, but you feel good
\nonshore wind may blow too strong, strike the sails and drift along, but you feel good
\nsometimes rain comes pouring down, hide beneath the bridge in town, and feel good
\nwater is squirting in your boat, think of \u201esun\u201c, tighten your coat, and feel good<\/p>\n

you know that sun follows the rain and the waves calm down again, you feel good
\nenjoy the ride, enjoy the view, waterfalls, sunset and you, you feel good
\nyou can trust in the stars, in cloudless nights they guide you along
\nyou can trust in your heart, believe in you and reach the sea<\/p>\n

things are in a state of flux <\/div><\/div>\n

<\/span>The Orange Mixer<\/div>
as long as I know it\u2018s standing there
\nbloomy in spring, blessed with air
\naffectionately treated even though old \u2013 old<\/p>\n

we climb up the branches, sky-high
\ncircled the trunk a tousand times
\nwe shared the shades of this old tree \u2013 old tree<\/p>\n

as long as I know it\u2018s lying there
\ngrowling by noon, devil may care
\nas if this technical equipment would be undistructable<\/p>\n

she wiped the beaters around
\ncakes and curd, pudding in brown
\nmy orange companion missed no clump \u2013 clump<\/p>\n

we try to keep this picture inside our head
\nI try to keep this picture inside my head<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
