Angel (free) 07:23
:: Angel :: Angel from heaven You dance in the night I watch from the doorway Afraid of the light Like lovers in amber With nowhere to go Angel from heaven You're dancing too slow In a field of dreams I lost my desire I drank from the river I put out the fire My eyes are wide open But I cannot see My angel from heaven That's waiting for me Angel from heaven You dance in the night I step on the sidewalk I walk to the light I see right through you My eyes are ablaze My home is in heaven My house in flames Here in my wasteland I am the straw man Burning deep inside

Be my girl (free) 01:52
:: Be my girl :: To be, to be or not to be My love To be or not to be My love To be or not to be My love To be or not to be My love The laughter in your voice is mine The magic in your smile The honey on your lips I feel The movies that you made were real Magic moments on a shoestring A little bit of pleasure that money can't buy Magic moments on a shoestring A little bit of pleasure that mystifies Bye, bye, baby I don't want to let you go Bye, bye, baby You know you're going to break my heart Once in awhile I feel the urge to call your number Once in awhile I want to break your golden slumber

Bigger than the moon (free) 04:03
:: Bigger than the moon :: I remember all the fun we had When you were here Drinking a beer and sharing a smile And the only thing on my mind at night Was being with you By candle light The room was small but your eyes were bigger than the moon Then you'd hold me like I was the last man in the world In December the snow came 'round You were under the African sun I waited for you And then you came home To walk into my dream You whispered in my ear that you loved to have me close to you I knew right then I was the luckiest guy in the world Softer than a butterfly landing on a marigold You whispered to me that all was alright with the world I can't believe you're gone again I can still feel you near me 5,000 miles is what I travel every heartbeat Will you be with me tonight

Close your eyes (free) 02:07
:: Close your eyes :: Close your eyes Go to sleep Think of angels As you dream Fly away Into the night Come to rest On clouds of white Mummy's here Daddy's here Go to sleep No need to fear
5.
Für Sandi (free) 04:35
:: Für Sandi :: I thought I was doing ok Living on my own Not a care in the world I could have been The poster boy for happiness As I was drifting away Into middle aged bliss My guard was down I had no idea about the storm That was brewing Just around the corner Of easy street Being single isn't too bad I still have the memories of what I had When I was immortal When I was a young and carefree thing So pretty I was When I ruled the world I would live forever And all that I wanted Would come to me This is the sum Of my memories You blew into town Flashing around A smile so wide I had to laugh Your shyness, your coyness, Your come hither glance Made a mystery of your romance
6.
Hunger for you (free) 03:35
:: Hunger for you :: You make me crazy Each and every day I can't seem to lose the spell You cast my way I think of you Each and every night You're in my dreams always Until the morning light I hunger for you I need you so bad Your skin is a drug, you make me glad True love is waiting for me True love is waiting for me My love for you Burns like a flame You're my hearts desire You drive me insane The memory of you Is carved in my soul I need to be with you You make me whole

Love is on the move (free) 03:12
:: Love is on the move :: Love is on the move Fighting for the truth And I Want to be there Won't you help me now? Open up your heart Freedom's all you got And we Can build a mountain Won't you help me? Moving out from babylon Moving upwards, moving on Love the one that's near to you You can love a stranger too Well, change the world for good You know your brother would But he Can't do it on his own Do the best you can To make a better plan And we Can live forever Together Come on come on Get up on your feet Come on come on Walk out in the street Come on come on Breath the air that's free Come on come on....

My love is like a rose (free) 03:05
:: My love is like a rose :: (Words by Robert Burns) My love is like a rose That blooms in the spring You are a melody Sweetly sung in tune As fair as you are So deep in love am I And I will love you dear Until the seas run dry Till the seas run dry, my dear Though the rocks melt in the sun I will love you still my dear Though the sands of time still run Fair you well my love Fair you well a while I will come again, my love Though I walk ten thousand miles

She breathes (free) 02:22
:: She breathes :: She breathes the air that I breath And yet I wonder What's going on When she takes me by surprise I could live a thousand lifetimes And never find another She breaks me And tells me I'm her man When we're apart we're together I can feel her heart beat Just the way it was When she was lying next to me When I wake up in the morning I ache to see her smile I'm hoping She'll come home in a little while Blow wind blow Bring my baby back to me From the other side of somewhere Across the stormy sea

Sitting by a pool (free) 03:53
:: Sitting by a pool :: Sitting by a pool Sitting in that sun Thinking lazy thoughts About my only one I think of you And where you are I wonder Yes I wonder Why we're apart You and I could be together Through fair or stormy weather Holding hands forever Walking in fields of clover All along the cliffs of Dover Another gin and tonic To help unwind the chronic Pain that I feel When everything's real I steal a moment or two When I need to remember you As you were when I saw You walking through my front door We, two peas in a pod so green Happy as two moles in dirt Blinded to the voice of reason Every hormone has a season

The beggar's song (free) 05:09
:: The beggar's song :: I pledge my eternal love for you I will always watch out for you Nothing will ever stand in my way The highest mountain or the longest day The deepest sea could wash over me I would overcome these all with ease We don't have to be afraid You and I can find our way Goodness knows Forever could be interesting Won't you sing Along with me In harmony Baby please I'm on my knees Begging you To take my hand
12.
True to you (free) 02:49
:: True to you :: I don't mind at all I found myself a girl who lives next door And it's all right It's all right We're dancin' and dreamin' Huggin' an' kissin' Trying to make sense of it all Who am I to believe There's no one in this world for me I'm not alone No-one's alone Livin' and breathin' Walkin' and talkin' I'm being the best I can be Every single day that passes I will be with you All time and through the ages I'll be forever true / to you

:: You broke my heart again :: There's a place we can go There's a place where love can grow There's a place for you and me You broke my heart again You left me standing there We held each other tight The way we did before You were never the girl next door I can't turn back time To when we were all alone Nothing in the world Would make me feel bad If my heart was filled by you There's (nothing) in the whole wide world There's (nothing) nobody in the whole wide world That loves me the way you do You said you wanted You said you wanted me
