Just Because Of  You

I’m so far away
Under a velvet sky I hear the sound of waves
I picture you in the room
The room we made our home
The way that I am now
The way the moon sings to me
The way I follow through
Is just because of you

Only you and I can cross the subtle line
Between the end of love and the end of time
Hold me one more time
Don’t let the world take me away
The way I follow through
Is just because of you

When the night is still young
And I lay under a morning star
The distance in between
The things you touch, the things I dream…
I couldn’t find the words
Couldn’t find the line
To tell you that I’m here to stay
To love you ’til the end of time

Le Jeu De Hasard

Tout ce temps qui est passé
Toutes ces choses que j’ai dites
Tous ces jours, toutes ces nuits, toutes ces fois ou’ je parle de toi
De l’amour qui est passé, qui est perdu
Je ne parle pas de toi, je ne parle pas de nous,
Je parle du jeu de hasard qui nous a interdit de choisir,interdit d’aimer
Les memoires, le plaisir qu’on a vécu,
Le temps me dira “que sera que sera” de l’amour qui est passé,
De l’amour qui est perdu
Io non parlo di te, non parlo di noi
Parlo del gioco d’azzardo che ci intrappolò nella rete di chi non sa capir
Eppure si trattava d’amor

Mud and Gold

Looking back to the past two years
I still can’t shake how I feel
Don’t know why I had to deal
With people that I did not choose
I would have never gotten close

You, your evil look, classless ways
Tried to waste my time
Victim of your own lies and paranoia
You want the blame to be mine
What’s your competition all about?
What do you need to prove?
There’s no comparison between mud and gold

And look at you standing there
Are you happy now?
Who else do you need to criticize
Don’t you have any more advice?
You entered out door and acted like a saint
You came with a bag full of plans
And a heart full of lies
And when you reached the top, your world capsized

There’s no comparison between mud and gold…

A Night Like That

A thousand nights, a thousand days since then
A thousand possible directions from a night like that
Your gentle voice, guilty heart
The indecision of a night like that
And two years are gone…
Stripes of stars lighting up the sky
And it feels like rain
Brought here by African wind
The nakedness of your words
And then the silence
And us getting lost on a night like that
I still feel the winter coming on
The restlessness of my days
While two years were passing
And two years are gone

Quero Ser Feliz

Te vejo deitado naquela rede, tão preocupado com mil coisas prá pensar
Me olha, me chama de indiferente, porque não deixo o baixo astral me afetar
Eu deixo o barco correr, eu deixo a vida rolar, e não há nada que me faz penar
A hora è agora de ser feliz, comece com uma canção…
Nos tempos da escola, tomar chuva, jogar bola, eu quero é ser feliz
O rock na vitrola, bate-begue, carambola, desenhar de giz
Porque buscar tão longe se a felicidade está debaixo do nariz?
Eu quero ser feliz, eu quero ser feliz, prá que ser infeliz?
Um dia, na rua, tempos atrás, o preto velho me chamou prá conversar
“A vida é breve, mas não se apegue, só quem é leve com um salto vai voar,
E deixe o barco correr, e deixe a vida rolar, e não espere o dia clarear
A hora è agora de ser feliz” comece com outra canção
Por isso não me amole, deixe livre a minha praia, eu quero è ser feliz
Só quero pegar onda, matar aula, roubar beijo e fugir por um triz
Porque buscar tão longe se a felicidade está debaixo do nariz?
Eu quero ser feliz, eu quero ser feliz, prá que ser infeliz?

Down Down Down

You’ve been walking far from where your home is
You’ve been walking for so long
You’ve been far far far too far to see
You forgot where you belong
When the shadows deepened down your room
You were lonely there
Wondering why your world with her was so wrong

I can hear your silent steps, your worries
And your heart waiting for a change
This is not the life that you expected
Where’s the rhythm? Where’s the light?
But you still let her bring you down down
She can steal your soul and bring you down

Down down down…

Golden Storm

The conversation seems to be over
Silvery silence in a golden storm
Don’t speak your heart I can’t be your lover
Let’s stay here as beautiful strangers
Let’s fade as insatiable strangers

I’ll dance a tango through this golden storm
I’ll ask the moon if I should wait for your return
How wrong this love can be
How far this love has gone
Is this the way to say goodbye?
The only way to say goodbye?

Hiding from memories, keeping from falling
That’s why I don’t think of you
Moving as a satellite, fade into the Milky Way
Fading far away from here
These days are too long
No more ardor and hope
Those feelings are gone
And now who’s to say whether or not it was real…

I’ll dance a tango through this golden storm
I’ll ask the moon if I should wait for your return
And if she says I should, I ‘ll think about it more
Was that a way to say goodbye?
Will we ever say goodbye?

The Sweetest Thing

You’re the best part of my days
You’re the best part of my dreams
The best one
You’re the best one for me
I had no reason before
Not to walk out that door alone
And come back alone
But if I left now I would see
That I would lose the sweetest thing
The best one for me

Every morning next to me
I can see my favorite face waking up and smile
Now I don’t fear the darkest night
And I know I can’t be wrong
I never had these kind of feelings before
Getting stronger more and more
But if I left now I would see
That I would lose the sweetest thing
The best one for me

Creole Moon

I had a dream last night
I was driving to the south
Going far away
Going far away to find

To find a new land
With houses colored in Mexican green
Where a creole moon bright
Brings its mystery to my night
Where the nights don’t make a sound
There are splashes of color on the ground

I had a dream last night
I was driving to the south
Going far away
Going far away from now…

And I found a new land
With houses colored in Mexican green
Where a creole moon bright
Brings its mystery to my night
Where the nights don’t make a sound
There are splashes of color on the ground

Island of Regret

Bye bye to days of tears and pain
It’s been raining buckets since we came
Summer pours its heart in vain
Will you swim away with me
From this island of regret?

And if your longing is as deep as mine
Will you be my tarnished valentine?
Can we still escape in time?
If you swim away with me
From this island of regret

Give a love that would have been
Give a love that could have been
Give a love that should have been
Another chance to begin
Let’s swim…

See the empty faces passing by
Hollow sorrow in their eyes
Reflections of our soulless lives
Will you swim away with me
As far as we can get
From this island of regret?

Boat On Fire

There is this dream
I can’t escape
It keeps me up at night
It don’t feel right
I think I have lost my mind
On a boat on fire

I had this job
It took me far
I flew from the Amazon to the Chinese Wall
But I ended my trip
On a boat on fire

Had to jump in the ocean
The heat was insane
To be swallowed by the sharks
Or swallowed by the flames
These are your choices
On a boat on fire
