0. FALLING IS EASY

Words and music by Stephen Laskey

1             I know you’re younger than I’d like you to be

                               And that you wanted someone younger than me

                               But that’s alright, in our minds are some things that we can change

                               Others are harder but this one seems like something can be arranged

                               It’s not even that strange

Refrain                  Sundown come down out of the sky

                               Come down Sundown just let me try

                               Falling is easy from heaven above

                               Oh how I wish you were falling in love

2             You’ve told me more than once I’m wasting my time

                               Gone for refusing like my asking’s a crime

                               But that’s alright, when I hear you say something I should know

                               Sometimes you mean it and sometimes not but best is the way you show

                               You don’t want me to go

                               Come down Sundown just let me try

                               Falling is easy from heaven above

                               Oh how I wish you were falling in love

3             You’ve got so many different thoughts of your own

                               I’m getting nowhere near enough of me known

                               But that’s alright, when you’re speaking and speeding like a train

                               I’m in the quarters of great Saint Peter, ready to take the strain

                               Take again and again

Refrain                  Sundown come down out of the sky

                               Come down Sundown just let me try

                               Falling is easy from heaven above

                               Oh how I wish you were falling in love

     2.   IN A LINE

   Words and music by Dietmar Dombrowsky

1             See the man sitting in the street

A steady gaze held up high

With a chant that cuts right through

Back to the times when stones were stones

Refrain                  In a line (straight) to the core

Follow the light to the inner door

Unlock, enter and conceal no more

Reach out to worn out hearts

2             In a land very far from here

Millenniums away from our day

Another man sitting under a tree

A posture calm and a steady gaze

Refrain                  In a line (straight) to the core

Follow the light to the inner door

Unlock, enter and conceal no more

Reach out to worn out hearts

 3            The tree that travelled to a southern land

Was brought back to its roots in the north

Ashoka piled the stones to a temple high

And a memory became reality

Refrain                  In a line (straight) to the core

Follow the light to the inner door

Unlock, enter and conceal no more

Reach out to worn out hearts

Loud and strong, all day long

I’m dropping love that pulls the trigger

All day all day long

                               I can find in my mind

I’m gonna build some heavenly space

In my mind in my mind

                6             I’m gonna send my place-to-go file

To the moon, someday soon

I’m gonna move into my mobile

Someday someday soon

You’re sweeter than the world, the world is sweet enough

0. IF I DON’T KNOW

Words and music by Stephen Laskey                

1             If ever I really want to say a prayer

                               I settle my mood and strip my language bare

                               And if I don’t know, I let myself go

2             If ever I really want to stay awake

                               I settle my nerves and seek an even break

                               And if I don’t know, I let myself go

Refrain                  Nobody can steal my heart away from you

I’m ready to close it if you want me to

To let myself go, nobody will know

3             If ever I really want to play the game

                               I settle my discontent and take the blame

                               And if I don’t know, I let myself go

Refrain                  Nobody can steal my heart away from you

I’m ready to close it if you want me to

To let myself go, nobody will know

4             If ever I really want to sympathise

                               I settle my dreams and open both my eyes

                               And if I don’t know, I let myself go

                               And if I don’t know, I let myself go

                               And if I don’t go, nobody will know

5.       NEED YOU

       Words and music by Narin Kiki

1             The day´s been so long

I´ve been working for hours

And I don´t know where I´m heading for

I´m staring at the screen

And I´m writing some words

But I don´t know what I´m doing                     

My head is empty

My mind is gray

It´s rainy outside

Inside outside it´s gray

The routine is killing me

A look out the window

Just a big gray wall

Refrain                  But I know that if you would call

You would take all this grayness away

But I know that if you would call

You would wipe all this grayness away

I need your voice

2             And then down in the street

All the people rushing home

I hope no one will talk to me

I know I should buy some things

Maybe call some good friends

To get out of this hole

I´m trying to get done

All this everyday stuff

3             I take the stairs to my flat

Every step is so hard

And I just want to fall into bed

I won´t fall asleep and just stare at the wall

You´re just smiling and laughing

You´re making fun of my sorrows

In the most gentle way

                               You don´t know how I need that

You don´t take me seriously

Refrain                  When I come home to you, baby,

I feel so nice and so easy and calm

When I come home to you, baby,

I feel so nice and so easy and calm.

Cause you´re my home

I love you, baby

0. LISTENING

Words by Stephen Laskey, music by Dietmar Dombrowsky

1             Tell me there’s a mountain  at the bottom of my heart

Whose peak can still be seen above the clouds

Tell me there’s a rainbow, keeping man and boy apart

One permanently fading like the clouds

2             Tell me there’s an ocean full of cold and hungry words

Where men can only drift or go to war

Tell me there’s an island where no lies are ever heard

And the mermaids have been seen upon the shore

Refrain                  I’m listening, yes I’m listening

Please leave your message while I make it clear

I’m listening, really listening

There’s so much in the world I want to hear

                3             Tell me there’s a secret you could never give away

That nestles in the shadow of your past

Tell me there’s a future for the words I long to say

Describe it to my face and make it last

Refrain                  I’m listening, yes I’m listening

Please leave your message while I make it clear

I’m listening, really listening

There’s so much in the world I want to hear

Refrain                  I’m listening, yes I’m listening

Please leave your message while I make it clear

I’m listening, really listening

There’s so much in the world I want to hear

0. LET THE ONE LIGHT SHINE

Words and music by Stephen Laskey

                1             What do I say when someone steals my heart away?

                               What do I do when more they want my freedom too?

                               Everything I’ve been told, good as mistakes or gold,

                               Is free enough to land and walk upon the moon

                               Free to help a man who’s seen a white balloon but not the sun

Refrain                 If you’re getting very close to me, put it in my mind

                               I can do the same for you, let the one light shine

                               If you wanna make it crystal clear, put it in my mind

                               Honey we might fall in love, let the one light shine

2             What do I see when someone paints their face for me?

                               What do I hear when more they whisper in my ear?

Everything I’ve been told, good as mistakes or gold,

                               Is free enough to land and walk upon the moon

                Free to help a man but not the white balloon before the sun

Refrain                 If you’re getting very close to me, put it in my mind

                               I can do the same for you, let the one light shine

                               If you wanna make it crystal clear, put it in my mind

                               Honey we might fall in love, let the one light shine

0. DARK BLUE MOON

Words by Stephen Laskey, music by Dietmar Dombrowsky

                1              I don’t have to count up days

                                To work out all the different ways

                                The warlords of the latest craze get chosen

                2              I don’t have to count up weeks

                                To know the world or guess who seeks

                                A time when rivers, lakes and creeks Are frozen

Refrain                  Chime as loud as thunder

                                Peal as bright as noon

                                The bells I need to hear

                                Ring once in a dark blue moon

                3              I don’t have to count up months

                                To see my heart was broken once

                                And left to serve on different fronts or splinter

                4              I don’t have to count up springs

                                A season comes a season sings

                                To girls who shine their golden rings in winter

Refrain                  Chime as loud as thunder

                                Peal as bright as noon

                                The bells I need to hear

                                Ring once in a dark blue moon

                5              I don’t have to count up years

                                To speed the pace of drying tears

                                Or wonder why no truth appears to bind us

                6              I don’t have to count at all

                                Upon this earth a man is small

 And God the picture on the wall behind us

Refrain                  Chime as loud as thunder

                                Peal as bright as noon

                                The bells I need to hear

                                Ring once in a dark blue moon

0. INSIDE OUT

Words and music by Dietmar Dombrowsky

                1             Lord give me wings help me fly

To the land of plenty where I’ll never, never, never die

Where I’ll lay my heavy burdens down

And you’ll be there to help me dare to make you want to be mine

Take a turn on trying to start up all again

Roll around inside yourself surface upside down

Refrain                  Inside out back to front Z to A left to right

Inside out back to front Z to A left to right

2             Lord take me to the greener side of the fence

Where I can drink from a cool new spring of life

Clear the way from obstructions to the soul

                Swing the doors open let the light speed up its flow

Chorus                  Any morning is alright you don’t have to call

Catch and hold a sunny ray shadows left behind

3             Lord if you give me another chance to try

I’ll line up all my goodwill plans on a road with no lies

Lead on, speed on let the circle turn full swing

Give me that lifeboat to pull myself back in

Take a turn on trying to start up all again

Roll around inside yourself surface upside down

Refrain                  Inside out back to front Z to A left to right

Inside out back to front Z to A left to right

10.   TO SAY YOU LOVE ME

Words and music by Stephen Laskey

Refrain 1              Sail on, say why nothing I do can make it seem

                               I try not to hide when there’s talking soft

                               And friends at my side

Looking like he’s perfectly sound

                               In right mind and sure heart

To spread the word he knows he’s heard in the darkness of the night

                               That since he feels it must be real it can only come to light

                               And now he’s standing close to me, no distance more away

                               But I don’t need no inner voice to tell me what to say

Refrain 2              Sail on, say why nothing I do can make it seem

                               I try not to hide when there’s talking soft

                               And friends at my side

                               They play my eyes

                               Do it they do because       

                               The world might like to know

                               But I’m sure I’d never dare to say you love me

                               To say you love me

2             See the man who’s part of my crowd

Getting up and speaking out loud

                               Of right mind and sure heart

                               And how they look a picture book in the brightness of the day

                               Of why the facts of how relaxed a man is point the way

                               And now he’s standing close to me, no distance more away

                               But I don’t need no comfort zone to tell me what to say

Refrain 2              Sail on, say why nothing I do can make it seem

                               I try not to hide when there’s talking soft

                               And friends at my side

                               They play my eyes

                               Do it they do because       

                               The world might like to know

                               But I’m sure I’d never dare to say you love me

                               To say you love me

0.  FRIEND IN THE MIRROR

Words and music by Dietmar Dombrowsky

                1             Meet my friend in the mirror

The one who’s always around

My old alter ego

You know he’s never let me down

The one who’s always been there

To hear me try my songs

He’s not much of an audience

He’s not much to rely on

But that’s what keeps me going

When I try to get off the ground

Refrain                  And the tune goes round and round

There’s a buzz right up in my head

Whistling its own melody

Before I even sing

2             I come back on a Sunday

For the start of a new life

Light outside my window

Touching everything up in blue

The song is still spinning

Deep inside my mind

Refrain                  And the tune goes round and round

There’s a buzz right up in my head

Whistling its own melody

Before I even sing

                3             I did not think it could happen,

But I did what I had to do

All smashed up broken pieces,

I’ll drink to that act too

Nothing left to delude me

To tell me it’s all going fine

But it’s a painful procedure

Going going gone

Act of faith completed,

Please release me from your chains

Refrain                  And the tune goes round and round

There’s a buzz right up in my head

Whistling its own melody

Before I even sing

12.    WISHING THE NIGHT AWAY

Words and music by Stephen Laskey                                

1             I’ve never been a man to wax about the moon

                               Long as I know she’s there, up in the sky

I like an evening in some nicely floodlit room

                               Watching the TV shows, sipping some rye

Refrain                  Wishing the night away

                               Letting the music play

                               Letting the music help me over

                               Wishing the night away

                               And that the morning come

                               Quick as the night

2             I’m not the kind of man who rides around the world

Pitching his tents and things, under the stars

                               I like a quiet evening home beside my girl

                               Keeping the curtains wide, watching the cars

Refrain                  Wishing the night away

                               Letting the music play

                               Letting the music help me over

                               Wishing the night away

                               And that the morning come

                               Quick as the night

Chorus                  Pushing back the thoughts of slumber

                               Cooking up an easy number

                               Maybe an Italian dish for two

Pushing back the thoughts of thunder

                               Cooking up some time to wonder

                               Looking for some time to see things through

Refrain                  Wishing the night away

                               Letting the music play

                               Letting the music help me over

                               Wishing the night away

                               And that the morning come

                               Quick as the night
