Settle down by the ocean
With your gipsy girl in mind
And define the fine proportions
In order to this time get it right
Let your mind float in the open
Beneath the peaceful and quiet clouds
And while you’re roaming in the world of hoping
Try to keep your feet on solid ground
Settle down by the ocean
With your gipsy girl in mind
And if you surrender to your emotions
You may free from daily grind
Lay your head in a field of green grass
And watch your feet heat in the sun
Rest In Peace ‘til the day when at last
She’ll be tired of being on the run
And need your arms to settle down
She will need your heart to settle down.

You know the way it goes,
When the sun rose from that horror back in Cherryfield
That won’t be how it goes,
Torn to ribbon by the vicious and the sweet
You know the way we left our own words in the dark?
With the lightning up above
You know I will,
You know I will,
You know I will.
It was written there on the birch shake bones,
With the tender care our children own to bare
Now you’ve run astray from your own words that were ripped away
From copper on your tongue
When the whales were a secret from harpoons,
And the lightning up above
You know I will,
You know I will,
You know I will.

I called you up in the middle of the night
Called to wake you, that’s what I wanted
How you doing, hey, I’m alright
Just been having dreams, they’re mostly haunted
I’m losing count of when last we spoke
Finally quit numbering the days
And the years get blurry and your voice has changed
Suppose I only knew it covered up in pain
So tell me the colors of your wall
Won’t you paint a picture of your room
Are your street lamps humming, did they burn out again?
Are the flowers in your neighborhood in bloom?
I’m gonna bore you to death or at least halfway
I learned I’ve got a gift
Let me tell you a story that goes no place
Let the details slide, let the memories drift
What kind of person have you become?
Stuck between the lines or free?
You know I still get nostalgic in the glimmering sun
And rest my head in the weeds

It’s a way of mind control
When you provide me with your thoughts
Reminds of glory state
It’s a way of mind control
That can explain the reason why
I fail to leave you alone
I’m not so black as I’m painted
(I) Could be really faint now and then
Abide to bide you Sadie junky
You’ve lay down the law
(and)You dare call that love
I cannot view my paradise
Without the wish of dwelling there
Escaped from your snares
I’m not so black as I’m painted
(I) Could be really faint now and then
If you’re an angel hide your wings
In flight you won’t be wise
If you’re an angel hide your wings
Get past this hollow dream

She once was a true love of mine
But now she’s gone away
She (has) always been so kind to me
But now she changed her ways
She (has) always been like an angel to me
But now she flew away
She once was a true love of mine
But now she’s gone away
Oh Lord she(’s) gone my love
She won’t come back no
She won’t come back my love
She(’s) so far
She(’s) so far my love
million miles away...
She once was a true love of mine
But now she’s gone away
You always act as you don’t know me
When i’m near you, you don’t see me
I don’t think, I have to be sorry
At least I wanna be free
I remember when you was so impressed
‘Bout this bunch of talkers
I’ve never been like this kind of guys
I never follow leaders
If I am not good enough
I’ll soon find someone other
She once was a true love of mine
But now she’s gone away
Oh lord she(’s) gone
my love
She won’t come back no
She won’t come back my love
She(’s) so far
She(’s) so far my love million miles away...
She once was a true love of mine
But now she’s gone away
You always act as you don’t know me
When I’m near you, you don’t see me
I don’t think, I have to be sorry
At least i wanna be free
My true love’s gone, my true love’s gone

You can notice a total absence of plan
To be heard, to be seen, to be clicked, to
please some fans
But it’s alright, alright
Two or three gigs across the border and
Turkish Delights
And it’s alright, alright
If you listen to this in a park
Or in a nice club of West Newark
It’s alright, alright
It’s better in a garage or in an old shack
But it’s alright, alright
Alright with the near future
Uncertainly bright
For old time rockers
Buzzin’ in the night
Headin’ in the dark
From Berlin to Guisberg
Ready to depart
As long as the engine starts
Is the piston clicketing
Is it time to set fire
To the auxiliary rockets
Time to burn some tyre
Or shall we just pull over
And launch the long board
To slip with a gentle sway
Down the sidewalk ? anyway
It’s alright, alright

I pick you up and we go for a ride
ten years of my life rewinding with your «hi»
an overcoat I don’t think I’ve seen before
trailing the winter air into the old car
you remember, bought it the summer you left
before you saw me idling in the lot
you wore the face you keep for yourself alone
i cup my hands for a match in the wind
but these days I know there’s no way to begin
pull the car down to the old reservoir lot
where we sneaked off for cigarettes
you always seemed so much older then
disappearing with your boyfriends
I heard you’re single again now
you already know I love you anyhow
keep my mouth shut, maybe this is enough
you and me moving side by side through the dark
