I slept all night on a big white ship, seagulls were dancing all around
I woke up with the sunrise on the sea, It’s such a precious gift to me
The salty breeze and the waves
The slow pace
The salty breeze and the waves, I’m at the right place
Yesterday we follow the road of the moon, we drove all day towards the coast
It remembered me the beauty of this life, such a feeling to be alive
The salty breeze in my lungs, I’m back to where I’m from
The salty breeze in my lungs, on and on and, on and on
The salty breeze and the waves, the slow pace
The salty breeze and the waves, I’m at the right place
I want to live in a harbor town, I like to see boats leaving at the break of dawn
I want to live in harbor town surrounded by the sea, my heart is free
The salty breeze and the waves, the slow pace
The salty breeze and the waves I’m at the right place
I woke up with the sunrise on the sea, It’s such a precious gift to me
The salty breeze and the waves
The slow pace
The salty breeze and the waves, I’m at the right place
Yesterday we follow the road of the moon, we drove all day towards the coast
It remembered me the beauty of this life, such a feeling to be alive
The salty breeze in my lungs, I’m back to where I’m from
The salty breeze in my lungs, on and on and, on and on
The salty breeze and the waves, the slow pace
The salty breeze and the waves, I’m at the right place
I want to live in a harbor town, I like to see boats leaving at the break of dawn
I want to live in harbor town surrounded by the sea, my heart is free
The salty breeze and the waves, the slow pace
The salty breeze and the waves I’m at the right place

Birds in the sky
They’re happy to fly away up north, where trees are kissing the sky
They're happy to fly away
Birds in the sky are just like you and me, you and me
Deers in the forest They’re happy to run away up north, where lakes are crystal clear
They’re happy to run away
Deers in the forest are just like you and me, you and me
I’m not asking for much Just a little place to call my own
But I’m tired of searching, tired of running all alone
Birds in the sky are just like you and me, you and me
They’re happy to fly away up north, where trees are kissing the sky
They're happy to fly away
Birds in the sky are just like you and me, you and me
Deers in the forest They’re happy to run away up north, where lakes are crystal clear
They’re happy to run away
Deers in the forest are just like you and me, you and me
I’m not asking for much Just a little place to call my own
But I’m tired of searching, tired of running all alone
Birds in the sky are just like you and me, you and me

It’s a perfect day for the road
The blue sky will take us home
We’ll take it easy, we’ll take it slow
It’s a good day for the road
Time goes so fast when you’re with the ones you love
But I won’t worry today even if time flies away
Diamond shine on the snow my guitar sleeps on the back seat
I’m following the river to another show
It’s a perfect day for the road
Time goes so fast when you’re with the ones you love
But I won’t worry today even if time flies away
The blue sky will take us home
We’ll take it easy, we’ll take it slow
It’s a good day for the road
Time goes so fast when you’re with the ones you love
But I won’t worry today even if time flies away
Diamond shine on the snow my guitar sleeps on the back seat
I’m following the river to another show
It’s a perfect day for the road
Time goes so fast when you’re with the ones you love
But I won’t worry today even if time flies away

Berlin is still sleeping, clouds on the ceiling
Me, I roam the naked streets
Old Turkish fellows smoking their tobacco, oh what a perfume it brings
The first rays of sun appear over the buildings
I’m going to the water to watch diamonds dancing and gaze at the trees
A part of me is free, a part of me is not, a part of me is gone with the midnight dust
My brain wants to leave, my body wants to stay
I’m so confused these days
The first rays of sun appear over the buildings
I’m going to the water to watch diamonds dancing and gaze at the trees
If only you would know what you mean to me
It would appease all your wounds
The first rays of sun
Me, I roam the naked streets
Old Turkish fellows smoking their tobacco, oh what a perfume it brings
The first rays of sun appear over the buildings
I’m going to the water to watch diamonds dancing and gaze at the trees
A part of me is free, a part of me is not, a part of me is gone with the midnight dust
My brain wants to leave, my body wants to stay
I’m so confused these days
The first rays of sun appear over the buildings
I’m going to the water to watch diamonds dancing and gaze at the trees
If only you would know what you mean to me
It would appease all your wounds
The first rays of sun

I miss our autumn walks in the forest
I miss your smile through the limbs, I miss your warm kisses under the afternoon sky
I miss you driving me around, listening to some sweet music, your hands on my hips
I miss that magic
I miss the arrows of love in your eyes and your long brown hair hanging low
I miss your naked body in the morning light
And the candles by your window, shining through the night
Chasing the cold, lifting our souls
The sun is shy in London
I need you around
We could ease down the road to a small coast town
People come and people go
Places come and places go
But I’d like you to stay
I’d like you to stay
Even though you’re forever on my heart
I miss your loving soul
The way it glows in the dark
I miss your smile through the limbs, I miss your warm kisses under the afternoon sky
I miss you driving me around, listening to some sweet music, your hands on my hips
I miss that magic
I miss the arrows of love in your eyes and your long brown hair hanging low
I miss your naked body in the morning light
And the candles by your window, shining through the night
Chasing the cold, lifting our souls
The sun is shy in London
I need you around
We could ease down the road to a small coast town
People come and people go
Places come and places go
But I’d like you to stay
I’d like you to stay
Even though you’re forever on my heart
I miss your loving soul
The way it glows in the dark
03:50
I’m sitting by the waterfalls
Flying with the clouds
Crystals dancing in the sun
The colours of fall in my eyes
Time doesn’t exist anymore
Only pictures of light
And pictures of darkness
Free like never before
Like a river in the rain
Father of the four winds
Take away my tensions
I did not betray you I did not forsake you
The universe on a string
Drifting in all directions
Free until the key finds the door
Free like never before
Children of light
Gardens of life
Gold on the inside
Children of light
Gardens of life
Diamonds in the miles
Father of the four winds
Take away my tensions
Flying with the clouds
Crystals dancing in the sun
The colours of fall in my eyes
Time doesn’t exist anymore
Only pictures of light
And pictures of darkness
Free like never before
Like a river in the rain
Father of the four winds
Take away my tensions
I did not betray you I did not forsake you
The universe on a string
Drifting in all directions
Free until the key finds the door
Free like never before
Children of light
Gardens of life
Gold on the inside
Children of light
Gardens of life
Diamonds in the miles
Father of the four winds
Take away my tensions
04:00
Shooting stars all around me I’m waiting patiently for the calming breeze
Voices in my head don’t leave things unsaid
Deep brown eyes searching in vain for breaking shadows and a sunny spell
It’s easy to forget It’s hard to remember Just how dark it gets when you look deeper
Voices in my head don’t leave things unsaid
Deep brown eyes searching in vain for breaking shadows and a sunny spell
It’s easy to forget It’s hard to remember Just how dark it gets when you look deeper

She'll come at the break of night
When the pink sky is waving goodbye
She'll come at the break of night
Leaving no traces around
The queen of art and the frightening morning
She'll come at the break of night
Discreet as always
She'll come at the break of night
Wearing her charm so frail
The queen of art and the frightening morning
She'll come at the break of night
Sorrows in her roving eyes
She'll come at the break of night
With too much on her weary mind
The queen of art and the frightening morning
When the pink sky is waving goodbye
She'll come at the break of night
Leaving no traces around
The queen of art and the frightening morning
She'll come at the break of night
Discreet as always
She'll come at the break of night
Wearing her charm so frail
The queen of art and the frightening morning
She'll come at the break of night
Sorrows in her roving eyes
She'll come at the break of night
With too much on her weary mind
The queen of art and the frightening morning
