Good to be on the top of the mountain,
where the wind blows and hits my face,
even though I know I don't belong here,
feels like home when crowds are away.
Don't know much about the wild and mother nature,
I hardly call every peak by its name,
but being here brings me to tears I just can't help it,
no other place touches my soul this way.
So let me go where the white snow covers my feelings,
let me sing songs for this joyful land,
it gives me more than I can take but I'm not complaining,
I always go back to the things I left

Lonesome
03:33
|
|

|
Had a will and my convictions were strong,
had a feeling that nothing could go wrong,
never worried about the meaning of things,
for the meaning of things stayed at home.
And I don't know if I did what I should,
is there something about us that I misunderstood?
Now I find myself deep in the woods
where the beast in me sings along.
Hear the birds on the top of the trees,
hear a bear in the distance and the open sea,
there are millions of living things
for which I never cared about before.
And I hear them now that you are gone,
and I'm so thrilled to say I've just found today,
I'm so happy to be lonesome.
There's this path that I have found and I'll keep walking on,
and I'm yearning to know where it leads.
There must be somebody waiting for me there,
but if it isn't I'll still move on.
I been through these things many times before,
then you said I never learn.
I must tell you sweetheart this time I won't let you underestimate me no more.
And I feel it now that you are gone,
and I'm so thrilled to say I've just found out today,
I'm so happy to be lonesome.

The scariest thing
05:00
|
|
||
|
You're the scariest I've ever known, something in between emptiness and
sorrow. You're an evil thing and a greedy one, with nothing left to give and
everything to own. Did you give myself just once, give myself some
warmth? You're the scariest thing that I've ever known, with nothing left to
dream for, and everything to burn. Did you give myself just once, give
myself some warmth? Some desperate morning with the rain you'll feel the pain of a thousand needles

Back home
03:23
|
|

If I could only stop pretending that I never needed you that much, and
then release the pain, but suddenly the memories are so strong. And the
way they hit me it's a lesson yet to learn. Still I'll be here when you call me
back home.
There you go so full of yourself, you take for granted that you've won,
and you may be right, I don't know, guess I've always been wrong. But the
fact that now I'm bleeding doesn't mean I'm dead at all, and I'll be here
when you call me back home, yes I'll be here when you call me, I know, I'll
find a way to sink when everything is gone.

The island
03:31
|
|
||
|
And so you leave, you're going back to the island where your senses
breathe. Go meet your friends and family, what you deserve lies not in
here.
There's not a page now left to read, not even words and no last trick.
Stick to your guns, shout out a scream of proud esteem and let this be.
Time will bring uncertainty but there's no other way. Pack your things and
spread your wings, the wind will do the rest.

Fearless son
05:11
|
|
||
|
On bended knee go and ask for more, go and tell our mother you've just
got to the shore. Don't you blame yourself, don't you dare give up, there's
so much to discover and I'm waiting for you to know.
Oh mother you thought you had a fearless son, but he's about to run.
On bended knee go and ask for more, deal with all the changes and the
changes will let you grow. It's a matter of trust, there's no way back home,
it's a life once wasted, we're both waiting for you to know.
Oh mother you thought you had a fearless son, but he's about to run

Dear old lover
03:30
|
|

My dear old lover long time no see, it's been a while since you've gone. I
wonder if you still think of me, if you still humming my old songs. I won't
say sorry, I already did, I wasn't clear about it all. But time has passed and
the fact's still here, I had a change and I screwed up.
So I was thinking maybe we should meet, just for a coffee I don't ask for
more. Don't get me wrong, know that train has passed, I see it now didn't
get it once. But that one wasn't me, no, no, no. That one wasn't me at all

Tree bird song
03:32
|
|
||
|
Here comes the winter's cold, and so the storm's upon you. Here comes
the wind shaking your fears. Just wait and see her.
She was your tree bird song and so the sun's upon you. Did you believe
her? Just wait and see her. That's half the road.
Now's when you'll hear the voice, this time you shouldn't let her. She'll
take you down, break you to tears. Just wait and see her. That's half the
road. Fear is a thing that feeds from your soul, feeds 'till you bleed, fear's no easy word.

Wonderer
02:29
|
|

|
I wonder if you know the way 'cause I've been trying and I couldn't say.
And what if we're going nowhere? Would you mind and would you care?
Let's wonder if there's a way, I'm just asking 'cause I couldn't say. And if
not, would it be fair? Should we mind and should we care?

Stormy weather
02:40
|
|
||
|
I wouldn't let you go, don't want to read your letters, I want you by my
side, I want you as my shelter. But there's nothing I can do, there is no
more together. You made a choice and I'm under stormy weather.
I wouldn't let you go, with all the things that matters. I would expect the
ground just like a falling feather. You made a choice and I'm under stormy
weather.
