dreams & clouds 06:09
lyrics

dreams & clouds Once in a moment, one of these moments in life knew I met you somewhere – out in the rain And you told me - about dreams and about clouds And you told me about how the nights were without – Hey you, in this very moment remembered our days in the outskirts of town We two, lost there in that moment, and love, have we ever really found it, Have we ever really found it? And I saw you, you with your caring eyes, did you ever realize - the rain in my eyes? And I told you about dreams and about clouds And I told you about how the days were without – Hey you, in this very moment remembered our nights in the outskirts of town We two, lost there in that moment, and love, have we ever really found it, Have we ever really found it? Bridge The day when you did leave me, really felt like dying My world came tumbling down, couldn´t keep from crying But time passed slowly by and all those lonely nights And now you again? Hey you, in this very moment 2x remembered our days in the outskirts of town We two, lost there in that moment, and love, have we ever really found it, Have we ever really found it? Hey you, in this very moment remembered our nights in the outskirts of town We two, lost there in that moment, and love, have we ever really found it, Have we ever really found it? So what?

Mona 06:45

Mona Mona tried to tell me it takes only one moment, to drive your car into the light She said to me: we´re all kind of waiting Waiting – for the darkest night But I´m not in a hurry – Sure I know time passes by Mona said: so, don´t you worry We meet again every once in a while Right or wrong is just the game we play When we lose our faith in dreams black & white clichés with puppets on strings Away –she said, away – she said Sometimes I think you must be that jailer who keeps me imprisoned from here to eternity sometimes I´m thirsty, you don´t bring me water sometimes I hate so much I wish I could flee Away –she said, away – she said Right or wrong is just the game we play When we fear the world of dreams Reducing our life to soap operas on black & white screens so the one means being nr. One All the zeros stand for fools No space for inbetweenies - you win - I lose Go back to the ones that have sent you – we don´t need you here around I don´t know where I could go back to Always I´m lost - but never found sometimes life is like a concert you enter the stage and you do your thing where to go if the stage has been stolen? There will be nobody – to- hear- you - sing

after a cup of coffee can I help you? A Could you bring me a strong cup of happiness and maybe later a glass of dandelion wine happiness I need so badly on such a kind of a morning and the dandelion wine it simply makes me feel fine she brought a cup of coffee and she gave me a heavenly smile brightened up my morning and then after a minute´s time she came back with red wine smiled into my face I knew I fell in love with her right here in this place What a dream R (happiness is like dandelion wine It´s a dream but I do feel fine I´m a dreamer, dream away the night I´m a dreamer, and I ´m feeling alright A Late at night I´m home again after a long day of confusion There was nothing, really nothing on my tv screen And nobody, nobody, nobody gave me a phone ring So I raised my glass and I drank me into my sleep B Dreamed about that waitress how she brightened up my day So I tried to kiss her but her face it slipped away stared into my coffee cup, it stared back at me started singing “buddy, oh what a dream!” what a dream R (happiness is like dandelion wine It´s a dream but I do feel fine I´m a dreamer, dream away the night I´m a dreamer, and I ´m feeling alright Solo (gesprochen) A I really feel fine, I´do feel fine in the mornings Most of the time I feel happy like a new born child, but it changes, sometimes it changes at the end of the daytime And then, late in the night I feel like crying B But tonight it´s different after many a cup of tea asked her for a date, and ,uh yeah, she did agree Felt like dancing in the street , happy as can be Coffee cup kept whispering: buddy, what a dream What a dream R (happiness is like dandelion wine It´s a dream but I do feel fine I´m a dreamer, dream away the night I´m a dreamer, but I ´m feeling alright

Ulysses 06:39
lyrics

Ulysses One fine morning , in a far away land, Zeus told me to go sailing out into the distance so I sailed far and wide, across the Egyptian sea Searching for Ithaka Somehow I lost my way - somewhere somewhere years and tears went by, nearly without a sound, It has been a quiet life That I spent sailing somewhere in the distance And now I´m back again, but you, where are you now? maybe you got tired And left sailing searching for Ithaka Alone in the distance Thought I could win like in the old days When we sailed on the sea of green Still I´m searching for the old ways We walked so many times in our sunken dreams Solo (Strophe) And now I´m back again, but you, where are you now? maybe you got tired And left sailing into the distance And it´s rather late now, the sun is almost sinking down I can feel the distance To you, beyond the horizon beyond the horizon Zwischenteil (4 Takte) I won´t forget any beauty I´ve seen won´t forget noone, no places I´ve been Thought I could win like in the old days 2x When we sailed on the sea of green Still I´m searching for those old ways We walked so many times in our golden dreams

stay awake 05:17

stay awake Keepin an eye upon the sparrow, some words they better stay unsaid That is the truth, no use, cos´ everybody knows If you take a walk in the rain you might get wet you better stay awake, you stay awake, from today until tomorrow stay awake in this world of silence, feel how it overwhelms the night calling them names, like fame, but everybody knows, they burn away too soon in the heat of light you better stay awake,you stay awake, from today until tomorrow Lucy was dreaming in her heaven of silence Dreaming of sparrows on cloud number nine Dreaming of words without sound without meanings Dreaming of flowers and dandelion wine Lucy stepped down from her sky full of diamonds They changed all her diamonds into metal and steel into religion, and into science will she learn the way how to smile as you kill? I hope she don´t get fooled again stay awake in this world of silence, feel how it overwhelms the night calling them names, like fame, but everybody knows, they burn away too soon in the heat of light you better stay awake, stay awake, from today until tomorrow stay awake, stay awake, from today until forever

the morning 08:55

the morning Found no sleep until the morning, stayed awake thru´ the night no relief, only darkness No dreams to dream, the minutes met my deepest frights Mesmerized by the shadows, watched them tumbling thru´ the night So confused just like that moonchild Without a warning the morning broke with all its might shadows kept on crawling in, chased away the brightness of my day where have all my colours gone, kneeling at the ceiling shadows kept on crawling in, chased away the brightness of my day where have all my colours gone, kneeling at the ceil Now I´m facing, the sound of silence, here I´m lost again in the crowd, no coat to warm me, here in that snowstorm, I sing my song about those days so loud and proud shadows kept on crawling in, chased away the brightness of my day where have all my colours gone, kneeling at the ceiling shadows kept on crawling in, chased away the brightness of my day where have all my colours gone, kneeling at the ceiling where have all my colours gone, kneeling at the c still I´m dreaming of sunny days now that my pockets are filled with rain the sun has gone, and the moon is here to stay if this is real, the fool awakes and feels the pain shadows kept on crawling in, chased away the brightness of my day where have all my colours gone, kneeling at the ceiling shadows kept on crawling in, chased away the brightness of my day where have all my colours gone, kneeling at the ceiling

about

Part IV and finale of our conceptional story "...green days on a planet blue.."(read the story here: green-wave48.blogspot.com) with one song in Dutch; an hommage to Amsterdam the Netherlands and peope there, which I leearned to know and love in the mid-sixties.
this will be the last green wave CD, so to say posthum, because we stopped to play live in 2015 and finished our recordings in 2017.
I had ( and still have) severe health problems and so I had to stop making music after more than 50 years.

...so I changed to gardening....
