When I look back on all I’ve done
The loves I had, the songs I’ve sung
It makes me wonder baby, what’s the use
No one to blame, no excuse

I’ve been a poet, a prophet and a fool
Played it hot and I played it cool
I’ve just tried to find that bottom line
Hoping that I’ll be on time

And it’s a wild, wild world these days
A wild world all the way
And it’s a wild, wild world these days
In a wild world I’ll stay

Up and down and back again
From the ashes I’ll rise again
Now I forget battles I can’t win
A shot of whisky for my sins

And it’s a wild, wild world these days
A wild world all the way
And it’s a wild, wild world these days
In a wild world I’ll stay

Round and round that wild world goes
Never soft, but sometimes slow
It tries to drag me down again

And it’s a wild, wild world these days
A wild world all the way
And it’s a wild, wild world these days
In a wild world I’ll stay

I’m talking to you
Looking in your eyes so true
Knowing they will see me through this life
Now I feel blue
‘Cause the morning dew
Is drawn up by the autumn skies

But then I write your name
In the clouds and drift away
My heart can’t break
Cause you’ll always be here with me

I’m walking with you
Down that avenue
Footsteps slowly fading in the rain
I’m calling you
Words are overdue
Tonight you’re leaving on a homebound train

But I’ll read your name
In the stars and fly away
My heart won’t break
Cause you’ll always stay here with me
In every end there’s a beginning
And every night ends a day
We don’t know what will be coming
But I’m sure somehow we stay

I write your name
In the clouds and drift away
My heart can’t break
Cause you’ll always stay here with me

The time of your life
Yes you made a vow forever and a day
Cause it‘s the time
The time of your life

When you look into sky
And there‘s a star that shines
Straight in you heart

You know that it‘s the time
To pull it down into your arms
And hold on tight

Two hearts that stay in stride
They will beat side by side
Making a promise forever and a day
Cause it‘s the time
The time of their life

Then years have been passing by
And the autumn leaves
Are falling down from the sky

You sit in the garden of your life
Looking on your children‘s families
With love and pride

Two stars that shine so bright
They will wander into the light
Staying close in the winter skies
Cause it‘s the time
The time of their life

Yes your hearts stay in stride
And they‘re beating side by side
You made a vow forever and a day
Cause it‘s the time
The time of your life
Yes you made a vow forever and a day
Cause it‘s the time
The time of your life

Like a lotus on the floor
In tune, so divine
Thinking you know the way to go
Where everything is fine
You say it’s true
Ever true
And it runs through you
No matter what you do

This is for all you daisy dreamers
False prophets and trend believers
Take a trip to go nowhere
Hell will freeze before you’re there
But I don’t care

I see those misled fantasies
Hiding goody-good gain
Your next guru makes us all so free
The kiss of life again
You say it’s true
Ever true
It’s running through you
No matter what you do

This is for all you daisy dreamers
False prophets and trend believers
Take a trip to go nowhere
Hell will freeze before you’re there
You daisy dreamers
False prophets and trend believers
Take a trip to go nowhere
Hell will freeze before you’re there
But I just don’t care
To follow you there

All aboard, time to go
A place nowhere I’d care to go

On this river road
Scattered souls keep drifting by
But I don’t follow them
To taste love, the kind you buy

It’s the far side of this street
Where red roses grow,
With blossoms ever sweet, still
It’s onward I must go

Tired men may not know
Under red lantern lights
It’s only for the show
On those cold windy nights

It’s the other side of this street
Where dreams go so slow
In nights long and deep
Where red roses grow

They still shine for me
Having tasted tears
And I’ve watched them
Holding on to hope all the years
Into each brand new day

Now it’s love I’ve lost
Having slept with fear,
As I move on
There remains a road forever near
Into each brand new day

On this river road I still see
Where red roses grow
With blossoms ever sweet, but
Finally forward I must go

As a tear fades away
And the dawn dries a lover’s eyes
No more tears, they’re all gone
Just believe this will always be

My heart in your hand
Knows that all this belongs to me
And like a child here I stand
While your heart sings inside of me

One dream of my life
One night in eternity
The wind whispered soft to me
And heaven stood still

One sigh of the dawn
Knows that all this belongs to me
One celestial rhapsody
And heaven stood still

Just believe this will always be
One dream of my life
One night in eternity,
The wind whispered soft to me
And heaven stood still.

One sigh of the dawn
Sweet instant of memory
One celestial rhapsody
And heaven stood still

I‘m wondering why
The river of my dreams is running dry
I‘m wondering why
I feel like everybody is telling lies
I‘m wondering why
My thoughts keep spinning around
I‘m wondering why
I can‘t get my feet back on the ground

Hey you, where have you been so long?
I’ve been waiting for you
So many years of half-hearted cures
When you came along

Will the mirror you hold for me
Reflect the past so I can see
When I was the stronger one
And knew somehow what’s done, is done
Looking at my reflection
Knowing you’re the same as me
When I was the stronger one
Remembering what’s done, is done

I‘m wondering why
Things are looking different these days
I‘m wondering why
Blue skies turned out to be so grey

Hey you, I’ve been gone far too long
And you‘ve been waiting there too
So many years of half-hearted cures
Now I’ve come home

Will the mirror you hold for me
Reflect the past so I can see
When I was the stronger one
And knew somehow what’s done, is done
Looking at my reflection
Knowing you’re the same as me
When I was the stronger one
Remembering what’s done, is done

 You’re falling down drifting anywhere

Never ever feeling that someone cares
All around you there‘s nothing but grey
You got to turn your back on home
Not knowing what the future holds
And the fear keeps rising in your heart

But comes the summertime
You can see the sky
Blue wide open
When the clouds are gone
Your dreams will shine in the sun
While a new world‘s awakening

Looking into so many strangers eyes
Who don‘t care how they live or die
All they ever want is to loose their pain
If there’s a small path leading out of this threat
You‘ve got to take every chance you get
Cause one thing is for sure

Comes the summertime
You can see the sky
Blue wide open
When the clouds are gone
Your dreams will shine in the sun
While a new world‘s awakening

Grab your chance and take that journey
There is still so much left for you to see
When all the rotten bridges are burning
There’s so much life left for you to live

Here comes the summertime
And you see the sky
Blue wide open
All the clouds are gone
Your dreams are shining in the sun
And a new world‘s awakening

Stranded at the seashore sifting through the sand
I hear you cry, I hear you cry
Moonlight in far eastern skies, a strange lonely land
You heard goodbye and don’t know why

You’ll be all right,
It’s all right, it’s all right
Yes, you’ll be
All right

Rising with the seasons you drifted as you tried
To have your say, you went your way
You ran to ride a wave and got swallowed by the tide
I don’t know why, can’t tell you why

You’ll be all right,
It’s all right, it’s all right
Yes, you’ll be
All right

Voices on the wind have spoken of your grief
Carry on one day you will see
Passing souls once gone are the nature of belief
Go out and sail across the open sea

You’ll be all right,
It’s alright
Yes, you’ll be
All right
It’s all right, it’s all right
Yes, you’ll be all right

As I‘m walking through fields of green
My mind is running back
To the glory days of young men that we have been
The way of life is a one way track

I see you dancing with that banjo in your hand
Singing songs of freedom all night long
Comes a time when we say goodbye my friend
Comes a time when we have to stand strong

Hey, brother, we‘ll meet again
So let‘s swim the mighty rivers tide
And I‘m sure we‘ll sing our songs again
See you on the other side

It‘s been quite a long way up and down
Kicking the can down the road
It wasn‘t always easy to stay around
But in the end we‘ve made the show

Hey, brother, we‘ll meet again
So let‘s swim the mighty rivers tide
And I‘m sure we‘ll sing our songs again
See you on the other side

Hey brother, I‘ll see you again
Gonna meet you on the other side
Yes, I know we will share some jokes again
And laugh till we cry

Hey, brother, we‘ll meet again
So let‘s swim the mighty rivers tide
And I‘m sure we will sing our songs again
See you on the other side

I’m talking to you
Looking in your eyes so true
Knowing they will see me through this life
Now I feel blue
‘Cause the morning dew
Is drawn up by the autumn skies

But then I write your name
In the clouds and drift away
My heart can’t break
Cause you’ll always be here with me

I’m walking with you
Down that avenue
Footsteps slowly fading in the rain
I’m calling you
Words are overdue
Tonight you’re leaving on a homebound train

But I’ll read your name
In the stars and fly away
My heart won’t break
Cause you’ll always stay here with me
In every end there’s a beginning
And every night ends a day
We don’t know what will be coming
But I’m sure somehow we stay

I write your name
In the clouds and drift away
My heart can’t break
Cause you’ll always stay here with me
