Ghost 05:10
Ghost I´ve seen it all before I´m counting down the minutes ´till dawn Messing around I´m overwhelmed by frustration I feel like I´m ethtereal She doesn´t care But some damage you´re not able to repair You´re not in love anymore But that doesn´t mean that you can treat me like I´m not here I cannot fall asleep, so I´m roaming through the night Raise a glass of gin and murder all your memory Oh I know, I know When I wake up, I am alone Have you ever watched your own house burning to the ground Before, oh before Still matches in my hands I realize what I´ve become Finally I close my eyes and I know it has just begun I´m not ghost!

Pale Blue Dress And she took my keys As we walked along the streets And she whispered in my ears That she dreamed last night Of herself being a little child On the run with her pale blue dress. We drove into the night While the cradle passed us by Until we didn´t know where we were And we reached for dirty hands and silver eyes By the light of the day We were gone. And we changed our names And we fell in love again In the north of Tasmania But in the aftermath Our love didn´t last Now the southern cross is burning. How lucky you could be if you met the one, But sadly our love got lost somewhere in Australia, Australia!

Woods Of Birnam In the old woods of Birnam Amongst black oaks There lies a wooden heart She comes from a city Which never falls asleep But today she plans her escape She runs through the forest Leaves foxes behind She´s trying to find what she lost Her eyes are wide-open She spreads her wings She takes off to watch stars collide All time she thought she was gonna die And that she would never see How it ends But sometimes it isn´t meant to be So take your wooden heart And leave.. She runs for miles Back to the northern shore At dawn: The atlantic ocean She tosses it into the flood And finally it is forgotten

To Rome, to Rome Aquiver and with lots of hope The train left the station and the air filled with smoke She´s watching the landscape While she´s wondering which adventures she will take So leave all this behind you There´s plenty more you have to see And don´t be worried about us We´ll be waiting here Flea markets and cheap hostels She´s on the search for postcards and what kinda person she is In eternal cities, all on her own There´s nothing to be ashamed of if you´re feeling left alone So leave all this behind you There´s plenty more you have to see And don´t be worried about us We´ll be waiting here

Mr. Bonaparte You once sent me a postcard from your trip to Paris There was a bunch of soldiers - sitting in ruins In 1812 in Moscow The russians burned their city down To stop napoleon from taking their homes The smell of smoke an iron was lingering in the air And the night sky slipped into its dress of sanguine Was it really worth it, Mr. Bonaparte? When you saw those bodys lying in the dirt Are you one of them?

Set A Fire To Your Hometown I´m always waiting for something bigger But now I´m staring Are there any stars? The golden city A constant liar takes all the beauty But it will be ok, cause it´s what you want It will be ok, but don´t get me wrong I will never be happy in this town Set a fire to your hometown Cut these diamonds with your paper sword The silver street lights lead me the way back Tonight I realize.. It will never be the same like five years ago Never be the same as our love was pure It will never be like the time on your balcony ´Cause you have your wings I see, then take your wings and fly away

100 03:48
100 And here we´re all the same A hundred miles from home In the bosom of the sea We seem to be so small A man I used to know A ghost of his former self But thirty years of war have made him solitary And then I´m finally breathing The first time in years When dark clouds are looming like grey and gloomy towers How beautiful it is, to be beneath this sky I´m overwhelmed by this sight Beware, the tide will rise

Slow Down 07:00
Slow Down The city is mourning for the summer I really want us to leave Here they say: "You cannot be alone" But nowadays I´m feeling stuck Love, please take me down to the water I´m afraid I´ll never get it right Follow the traces of the golden wonder! It leads us to places we´ve never been I like to understand how this is going It seems like all these trees are burning Love, please take me dow to the water I´m afraid I´ll never get it right You know how much days there are in autumn Let´s escape and slow down for a while I´m standing by the river Where the salmon swim upstream I washed my hands in cold water So that they are clean again And taking all my courage I wade into the stream If I´ll ever reach the shore I will build a house for our own sake Love, please take me dow to the water I´m afraid I´ll never get it right You know how much days there are in autumn Let´s escape and slow down for a while
