There was a deer frolicking around In my backyard today It died a mysterious death It was a virus — that’s what they say I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know It could’ve been me! There was a group of birds eating The seeds of my peafowl They wore little helmets and marched like they’re soldiers With their leader doing a growl I don’t know what they say to each other I know that they make a lot of noise They frolic and brawl and they clap and they swirl Inside the bowl with such a poise There was a goose honking this morning Just outside by the pool He said: Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! And I said: shut up you fool! This is no place for honking at 7am That’s what I know! If you honk just one more time I’ll put you inside my pillow! I’ll take all your feathers I’ll pluck them one by one that's what I’ll do I’ll put you in the oven 430 I’ll cook you and then I’ll eat you Cause this a song of a guy who’s a vegan But his patience has a limit too I don’t know I don’t know what to do With the birds that… Frolic and call in they bark and they sing and they poop and they honk and they put on they eat all the seeds In my house

Tell me all the things you’ve seen Places where you’ve been It’s been so long my darling You told me you wanted to be free There was so much to be I let you roam away And now you’re back where you belong What took you so long? Sit here next to me And tell me of every pain you’ve had Every day you were sad I know it hurt like hell And tell me of all the love you got The good things that life taught And everyone you’ve met Cause life is a blessing and a curse Good things that turn for worse But also good things Cause life is a blessing and a curse Good things that turn for worse But also good things Good things

She feels the wind Cold in her bones She holds her hands Deep inside her pockets She hears her thoughts And she wonders why she’s there She knows it’s late Cause the moon is shining bright She knows it’s pointless There’s no one behind that door She knows her name And her name is loneliness She holds her thoughts She hears the wind She feels the time running out She hears her name Or was it just the wind? She hears her name Her name is loneliness

Oh my dear 02:19
Day and night I wait for you Counting the tiles Looking for a clue I wait for you Until it’s dark That is true I look for you in the park Cause I’ll be here for you Every day And I’ll be waiting for you Until you stay I crawl into my bed There’s your picture on the wall Tomorrow I’ll be better Today I’ll fall Why do you leave Where do you go? Where can I find you When you’re past my door? Cause I’ll be here for you Every day And I’ll be waiting for you Until you stay And until that day comes I’ll be waiting for you Until the night we’re together I’ll be here for you I’ll be here

She always loved old Amsterdam With its grim and grubby streets Especially the cafe on the corner With its tatty old brown seats It was a place where she could feel sad Didn’t have to answer to anyone Her mind could go anywhere She could just let it run Old Amsterdam in the springtime Flowers everywhere You can catch a glimpse But only if you if you dare Old Amsterdam in the springtime Flowers everywhere You can catch a glimpse But only if you if you dare Not everyday was close to perfect Sometimes drizzle fell like chattering mice But for all the good things There always is a price But it always cleared her mind Just watching the world go by She cant solve all the world problems Even though she might try Old Amsterdam in the springtime Flowers everywhere You can catch a glimpse But only if you if you dare Old Amsterdam in the spring time Flowers everywhere You can catch a glimpse But only if you if you dare But she's coming back tomorrow!

When the sunrise Hits your sleepy eyes It's time to put on the day So you step outside Expectations high Ready to be carried away CHORUS Follow the water That's where I go Follow the water Somewhere I don't know Follow the water It sings to my soul Follow the water When you're new in town Have a look around Find yourself a new routine Flowers everywhere New words in the air Time to see what can be seen CHORUS BRIDGE/INTERLUDE Sandals in the sand New money in your hand And nowhere you have to be Maybe find your way To a sidewalk cafe Revel in being so free Not lonely even though you're all alone Don't need to bother with the telephone Grab a book and a pen and an instrument Time making music is time-well spent And when you're done, in the setting sun CHORUS BRIDGE/OUT

There she goes Carrying all my dreams I wonder if she knows That they’re lighter than they seem There she is Treading light again Steps like gentle drops Touching down like rain Sometimes I think That all I wanted was A place to rest A place to nest Sometimes I think That all I wanted was A place to rest A place to nest All I’ve wanted, all I’ve wanted A place to call home All I’ve wanted, all I’ve wanted A place to come back home All I’ve wanted, all I’ve wanted All I’ve wanted, all I’ve wanted All I’ve wanted, all I’ve wanted I didn’t ask for much I never asked for much But then I think of all the times I was afraid, I was afraid Coming back home to a dead silence Fearing for the worst And then I remember all the times I was scared, I was scared The heavy silence around me What had I lost? All I’ve wanted, all I’ve wanted A place to call home All I’ve wanted, all I’ve wanted A place to come back home I didn’t ask for much I never asked for much But then I think of all the times I was afraid, I was afraid Coming back home and it’s silent Fearing for the worst What had I lost? Coming back home and it’s silent Fearing for the worst What had I lost?

Tell me 04:07
[verse 1] It’s just another day Painting the sky of gray Shades of sadness and regret As I stand by myself An empty bookshelf Where our stories met Oh, I’ve seen this rain Oh, I’ve felt this pain I know It’s not over yet I’m rolling on the dirt I’m trying to stay alert Trying to forget [verse 2] Is this the only way? Where did things go astray? Why did it end so soon? I look up to the sky I keep my spirits high Trying to attune I had so simple dreams I had it all it seems I was going to the moon And now I lost it all I’m diving in free fall The world is out of tune [chorus] So tell me of all the thing you miss Is there some space for us? I can move on if I know that You’re alright So tell me of all the things we did Were there good things Thing to show We did right? [verse 3] And when I think of you And all we both went through There’s so much to see Not everything was bad Not everyone was sad I think that you’ll agree I focus on the good I did the best I could As good as I could be I carry that with love It’s what stays above The memories of you and me [chorus 2] So tell me if you could go back in time Would you change our story darling Make it different Shed some light? So tell me of all the thing you miss Is there space for some of us? I can move on if I know that You’re alright So tell me of all the things we did Were there good things Thing to show We did right [verse 4] It’s just another day Painting the sky of gray Shades of sadness and regret Oh, I’ve seen this rain Oh, I’ve felt this pain I know It’s not over yet And I stand by myself An empty bookshelf Where our stories met I’m rolling on the dirt I’m trying to stay alert Trying to forget
