Nothing to lose

Lyrics:
Walking and bouncing
while singing this riff made on the spot now.
I don’t mind the traffic, cause I’m flying,
the sun is shining above me!
I’m smiling at strangers, they smile back.
I guess the good vibe is contagious.
Each day I grow younger
No wonder… I’ve got nothing to lose!
Life is a journey. Why not take a ride?
No fear what it brings… I am traveling light,
singing…

Spicy life
04:29
|
|

|
Lyrics:
What if I closed my eyes and found myself
rise above the cloudy sky
And spread my wings to fly
Like birds way up high
It would have been a dream to be part of a scheme
and get there in between what’s real and what
we think our life should be like.
But in fact, the truth we cannot find
Unless we have a life full of spice
Blending colors, flavors
Then we could have been wise!
So in the here and now, I start to live
Knowing what to give
and how I want my life to be…
Joyful and spicy!

Little confessions
03:50
|
|
||
|
Lyrics:
How far would I go… saying: I can make it on my own!
When I’m feeling lost and torn?
What if… it’s just an ego playing tricks on my own mind?
This is what I ask myself…
How could I ever let myself go down
And finally, hit the ground?
But now I’m asking for some help
I’m telling a friend, to get it out of my head!
Little confessions can set the mind for new directions.
Little confessions can help to fix a broken heart!

Game for two
04:21
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
There’s a game we can play
If you wish, you can stay
You will make the first move
Just as long as you prove
That you’ll follow the rules
And forget April fools
Going back it is fine
But do not cross the line.
Otherwise, you’ll realize, that you’ll pay a big price
Cause this game is for two… there’s not much you can do!
So play fair and beware
Will you pick truth or dare?
But think twice what to choose
Cause we both win or lose.

Unusual romance
03:13
|
|
||
|
Lyrics:
When the night is near,
my thoughts of you, are easy to appear.
And there I am, astounded by the fact,
you are still in my life's act.
I had told you, that I fell in love with you...
If love meant, that I thought too much of you.
While yearning for the next time we would meet, life was sweet.
It was certainly not an ordinary love,
of the usual kind most people have.
Cause you taught me to be true and ask for,
what I really want from you.
I learned to value every little thing,
without expecting anything.
And... every time I needed,
I would look into your eyes
to find out, that it came as no surprise,
the time was right, we had the perfect chance,
of living our unusual romance.

Alone
05:28
|
|
||
|
Lyrics:
Alone now, my home is empty and memories lie down,
like leaves fall on the ground.
And as the wind blows, thoughts are scattered,
whirling around me, haunting my hours, burning inside me.
Alone... is how we all come in this world
and lonely is the moment of our end.
But there's a part, that we call it "life",
when we all look for someone to rely.
Alone still, cause you are not here.
The only thing that's left, is our song to hear.
And even though time passes quickly,
I see no healing,
no flowers blooming, no birds are singing.

True love
03:41
|
|
||
|
Lyrics:
It's been some time, that I met you.
You came right when I was blue.
I remember that first glance.
It felt it was not by chance.
But it never occurred to me,
you would rather be alone...
nor you would prefer to stay on your own.
Now I have to place my bet
cause my true love is not here yet.

Waltz of broken dreams
04:42
|
|
||
|
Lyrics:
This is not a waltz of sad and long goodbyes,
this is not a waltz of secret sighs.
It could be a song for lonely city streets.
But it’s just a song of broken dreams.
Of dreams, I had not so long ago…
They were flowers but they didn’t grow.
So, for every dream that hasn’t seen the light
I will sing this song all through the night.
I’ll remind myself to keep an open heart
always to reach out for dreams to come.

Homeward bound
02:40
|
|
||
|
Lyrics:
Sometimes I’m thinking how fast years go by
Just like clouds, they move by strong winds, high in the sky.
Then, I remember how much I have changed
Navigating by the sun, my strength was regained.
My heart and I will try… my wings are ready to fly!
Now I know it’s time to move ahead.
Like the birds are heading south
I’ll turn my compass homeward bound.

Smile
03:45
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
you’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness,
hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
if you’ll just smile
