For a long time I didn't write you Was there nothing Going on in my life Did it have to Come to this To make my feelings flow For a long time I didn't write you And now suddenly The words are flowing out Out control, out of sense Filling the paper But nothing is much different From how it was all the time Only the words "it's over" It was over all the time For a long time I didn't write you My life stood still for years Now I notice I have changed Where did I hide all the time Don't take me seriously I just let flow out words As I didn't for a long time Here I am ... back again c. halboth 1994

no words 03:31
no words, no words no feelings, no feelings no story, no story no love, no more love your face painted on the wall I'll never reach you I can't even hear our voice someone else is speaking in the cold night the icy wind bites at the skin the red light someone is spilling water on the ground I rush into the warm and empty room turn on the light try to banish the dark thoughts from my mind in my mind the band plays another sad song now hold on, hold on against the darkness now how long, how long must I go through this am I drowning in my thoughts am I loosing control is this the time again to sing another sad song c. halboth 1995

Tonight the movie Something french You know the way they do it Something about love How everyone hurts everybody Else and, of course, themselves, too This girl with the blue eyes Reminds me at you The way you talk The way you laugh It seems we left us In a different life And suddenly You're there again You're spinning round and round and round All around in my head Make me remember Our precious moments And wish you were here Long time since I saw you Heared you laughing on the phone I almost forgot you Though I often sang your song To keep you somehow alive Through the distance Through the silence I wonder if you sometimes At least sometimes Ever more think of me Do you ever take out a photograph Listen to my music Do you ever wish I were there c. halboth 1997

I took the flight to JFK Left all the sunny days behind I came to see you, thought of older times You met me in the snow It is cold in the city New home, new friends, you showed me At least we could exchange some words You're oh so busy, not even time to check your mail You know I'm well on my own It is cold without a friend Cold in the city Cold Did you ever notice Cold without a friend Did you ever notice, times have changed Out of sight, out of mind I thought you were the one who's different I thought of friendship for our whole life But time and space change Why don't you care Why don't you notice that I need you I was at your side, you were on my mind But the way you are now You better get out of my life c. halboth 1997

insights 03:10
Something's different Surprising insights Strange people doing Strange business She's so nervous She's so young She is waiting For someone I watch her She's not beautiful Though some might think she is There's something in her way That makes me look Her fingers drumming on the table She's waiting She's staring at the door She's waiting Waiting for someone Someone doesn't come I watch her Turning around Drumming on the table She's waiting Skimming through the papers I watch her She's waiting She turns around Giving me Surprising insights c. halboth 1996

why now 04:13
I met you some time ago Knew your name, knew your number You're the one, that time I thought You looked so wellknown, so exiting If that time you had asked me I would have said, of course But you rather seemed to notice me Why should you? And now I catch you Looking at me furtively I can hardly conceal My delight I catch your eye You look away But I know ... Why now? I can't hurt her I don't want to leave her now Is it just a dream I sometimes hope so Why do you do this Why now? Now I meet you every day And I can hardly bear your presence You are tearing me apart and I think You don't even notice And now I catch you Looking at me when I'm looking Away, I should tell you About her Maybe that's the way To end this state But I don't think so c. halboth 1992

The mild summer night Sparkling stars, the sparkling firebrand I take the cup from your hands One deep gulp, the lights fade I'm slipping out of my self I see your face from high above You are my mistress Now it's time for the chase My dear The race over the fences We follow the deer in the dark Wolves howling, glowing eyes The river runs white in the dark You are deer, we are the hunters Chasing through the woods in the dark We lay down on the meadow Loosing ourselves in the dark The next thing I remember I am covered with blood The body at our feet still warm You're sitting there down by the water So quietly, perfectly white Your hair is dyed red with his blood In the ancient city He did find out And he asked all the questions He read in the diary While I lay in pain He took all the money Without any questions He told the story To the wrong people So they found him lying Covered with snow No way, he's lunatic The nerves in tatters We're floating through the time No regrets The time is flying by Bound together With the knowledge of that day I'll never forget The secret history c. halboth 1995

bad girl 03:09
I will tell everybody How bad you treat me How much you always drink At my expenses I will tell everybody How nasty you are in the morning And how you bit me in the tongue While kissing I will tell everybody That you sold my favourite books To the second-hand (book shop) And also about that affair with my Polaroid in the pawn-shop I will tell everybody Everyone then will know how bad you are And the best of them will know How much I love you For all that c. halboth 1994

I've seen you before In a different time At a different place There's something missing In my mind One time I noticed You're watching me All the time Such an interesting face I don't know why Then you started the breakthrough Through my walls And you never let go That was the only chance To get it Walking in the clouds With a stranger Living together In two different worlds Feeling so close To someone I don't know New sights of life I've never seen before I don't know if it was right I don't know what you've done to me I can feel the fire is burning In your heart, deep in my heart Now you're telling me stories Of things I've never thought about That have been so long Far away In a different world Tell me your words Show me your feelings Take me with you Into your world c. halboth 1990

balcony 03:35
Cool down Sniff the fresh breeze From your balcony You watch the crowd Silence On the radio They play the same songs Every night So this is the town Is this your future Is there anyone around So this is the city And you're just a stranger Is there anyone about Is there anyone around About Laughter Sounds up from the street From your balcony You hear the crowd Hot sun Smell their perfumes The beautiful girls Watch them passing Everyone here is beautiful Everyone here is important Everyone here is indispensable Everyone here is in the crowd Everyone here but me Everyone here but me Sunset On your balcony Have one more wine And dream away ... c. halboth 1996

my girl 03:21
You know I experienced This feeling myself It's the thrill of a new one It's the feeling of being desired But you know I discovered That you are the only one I want you I know he is giving you This feeling that's gone lost For so long between us And I know that if you Leave me now you'll destroy So much, more than he can Ever give you But I'm always here for you And I always will 'Cause I know you are my girl And I hope that you feel the same My girl I always believed Our love would last forever You're my girl We always said that Nothing could disunite us So please don't leave me now Think it over and remember All the good times So please, if you still love me Show me that you do c. halboth 1994

Where are you Are you sleeping Do you think of me Tonight Where are you Do I know you Are you just a picture In my mind I rush through the dark room Blinded by the light I see the empty faces Deaf, dumb, and blind I thought I had seen you From the corner of my eye Where are you Are you waiting Waiting for me Somewhere Where are you How do I find you Are you hiding from me In the dark I fly through the streets Blinded by the light About me empty faces Deaf, dumb, and blind They haven't seen the picture From the corner of my eye Where are you Are you around me And I can't see you Am I blind Wait for me Stay with me Take me by the hand Lead me, show me the way Where are you Where do you hide Where do I go ... c. halboth 1996

distant 05:04
Girl You're so distant You're so cool And yet so close Girl I listen to your stories I wonder what You're talking about Girl I sit there with you drinking I get to know you Do you know me Girl You're telling me your stories And even when I try You won't listen to mine Show me what is this All about All those invitations Those late night talks Tell me what is this All about When I feel getting closer You're turning away Girl I don't know what I Want from you Don't know what I feel Girl Did the long time of loneliness Eat out my heart The days when you feel down Just come to me I'll make you laugh When you're feeling low and down I'll cheer you up With all my might Girl I'm so distant I'm so cool And yet so close c. halboth 1998
