1.
The leaf will fall and turn into a skeleton Turn into a skeleton And turn into a skeleton…
2.
The Raven will lose his strength And fall into the ground Fall into the ground… If something dies tonight Something else gets a new life Something else gets a new life…

Marylin 04:33
Marylin is going to the stream Holding a wooden bucket Filled with fresh water The darkness will soon follow Beware of the coyote Beware of the coyote Run, run Marylin, Marylin Run, run through the forest Run, run to the old wooden house Run, run run, little child The ghost town is in a walking distance There you can no longer hear The chant of the wind The call of the White tailed Eagle Something changed a long time ago Something changed a long time ago Run, run Marylin, Marylin Run, run through the forest Run, run to the old wooden house Run, run, run… My dear Marylin talks with wild foxes My dear Marylin plays in the mud My good and innocent girl Do not ask too many questions Blessed with a pure soul I'm old now and my hair turned white I'll be waiting Marylin, to hear your violin One day you'll learn that simplicity is gold And there's no gold and no peace in a place like this

I met her at that night, a big heart called Rene We knew things would never be the same She told her life time story through her eyes of emerald green She saw her sister and I saw my twin She remains silent while the willow tree is getting older And leaves are changing colors to the color of her hair Her hands are moving constantly like the waves in the sea, The open sea was calling, whispering, come to me Oh my long lost sister, where are you now? My long lost sister, left us in the winter Oh my long lost sister, dear Rene, dear Rene, dear Rene God took her one thing, and blessed her with another She can sew every torn heart and break it in two Those emerald eyes will hypnotize you, take you to a spellbound world From which no one, no one has returned Oh my long lost sister, where are you now? My long lost sister, left us in the winter Oh my long lost sister, dear Rene, dear Rene, dear Rene You follow the wind, leaving only tracks, Rene you are a song that never ends…

Whistle 04:52
Waited for so long, waited for so long to see your beautiful eyes When you'll come, it will be so nice So nice to feel your heart beating likes my own You got your ways to make me better Better than I ever been before, before… I call to you, I call to you my darling but I can't hear a sound These words will lead you back to me The autumn winds are blowing, leaves began to fall My man is all I'm waiting for, my man is all I'm waiting for Why won't you come, come to me? Why won't you come, come to me? Why won't you come, come to me? I remember how you took your bag, Still remember how you lace your shoes You said, wait here at the garden, I'll be back for you Why won't you come, come to me?

Gizela 03:40
She was once a living legend And now her name is on a stone she is black and white, Gizela Just like the cactus on her grave so strong she was A mother and a father figure she gave everything when she had nothing, nothing to give But in those times there was no cure for dear Marchell Her first born child died and left her alone again The life taker, drug addicts, card players And empty body pleasure givers walking from the port Sailors and mariners knocking on her diner doors She was the anchor the were lying on Looking in her a window all of life endeavors I would like to know you better make you smile but you no longer here The name that was once yours I'm holding in your memory, the chain you gave to me, oh… I would like to know you better make you smile but you no longer here The name that was once yours I'm holding in your memory, the chain you gave to me, oh…

Unborn Child 02:54
Oh, in my dream, in my deepest dream A blurry face of an angle, of my unborn child A blue piece of sky in his eyes Like my father's, like my Grandpa's Like my father's, like my Grandpa's Like my father's, like my Grandpa's eyes… Oh, And in my dreams I'm a mother And I teach him how to sing and I teach him how to dance A wide smile on his face, Like my mother's, like my grandma's Like my mother's, like my grandma's Like my mother's, like my grandma's smile… The mountains will call his name, The wolves will hug and the birds will sing And you my love and you're strong, strong hands Will give protection, teach him wisdom He'll have your teeth, he'll have your nose Your toes your bones your voice He'll have my hair, he'll have my skin He'll learn to play my songs
8.
Oh Lord, I'm walking on sharp stones, walking on sharp stones. Oh, bloody tears, ropes and Thorns Won't suddenly be gone, suddenly be gone Helpless souls, no names, the screams, the pain Lying wrapped on the flames Deep waters holding secrets, deep waters holding lies Deep waters holding secrets, deep waters holding lies Keep your eyes open wide, to the dark side Keep your eyes open wide, to the dark side Keep your eyes open wide, to the dark side Keep your eyes open wide, to the dark side, to the dark side What kind of dirt are we walking on? Teeth and bones, teeth and bones What kind of dirt are we walking on? Teeth and bones, teeth and bones

Mothers 03:57
I buried your laughter, I buried your laughter and the warms of your hands The smell of your cocking in the afternoons, oh those afternoons They won't come back no more, come back no more, come back no more, no more Come back no more, come back no more You used to tell me when I was young, life is simple, life is so simple In each and every rock and tree and flower on the ground, there is Mother Nature, Mother Nature And she's here for you and I and it's a circle of life, we laugh and we cry We make love, we create new life and then we die I want to have a child, I want to hold a child, I want to see your glimmer in his eyes Oh ma, I tried so many times, so many, many times The sun comes throw your favorite lace curtain, strange shapes on the walls Moving in circles, round and round and round and round… I swear I see your face, I swear I see your face Barefoot dancing, mothers chanting Sister's spirits holding hands, sister's spirits clapping, dancing Sister's spirits holding hands, I swear I see your face
10.
In the morning light, you're lying next to me on the ground Flowers in my hair, you always make me laugh On a cloudy day Is it joy or sadness when the rain falls? I know I cry too much, even now writing this song to you And I know you right, Sometimes I'm so crazy and lazy and coward Oh, I wish I was more like you You see, I do not want to feel that pain again I do not want to cry To write about real feelings Oh I wish I was, free with you Time is endless like the sea Your love is a boat calling me To find the courage, strength, the faith We lost through the years Will my footsteps remain on the golden sand? Will my songs be hard when I'm dead? And I know you right, Sometimes I'm so crazy and lazy and coward Oh, I wish I was more like you You see, I do not want to feel that pain again I do not want to cry, To write about real feelings Oh, I wish I was free like you and Strong like you… free like you… Strong like you… Free like you… Strong like you… Oh, oh, oh, oh…
