Snowflakes 03:59
Snowflakes in May Snowflakes in May Falling today don't even make no sense Snow that no one stepped on yet We go ahead and make foot prints Though it seems kinda strange Love, sometimes is out of place Like warm scarfs in May, Warm scarfs are never out of place Reminding me of your embrace Lost it all back in the spring I picture it like yesterday Love’s better yesterday Thought the snow was here to stay But who can understand love’s ways So I charge you by the does in the Air and the gazelles in the Fields don't you stir don’t you wake up love Before love pleases Don't stir or wake up love Snowflakes in May Once Accented the landscape But now they fall to their death Even beautiful things have an end As they melt you got to face Love sometimes is out of place Thought the snow was here to stay Who can understand love’s ways So I charge you by the does in the Air and the gazelles in the Fields don't you stir don’t you wake up love Before love pleases Don't stir or wake up love Don't you stir or wake up love Don't stir or wake up love Before love might please Don't stir or wake up love Don't you stir or wake up love Don't stir or wake up love Pay attention to The changing of seasons Don't stir or wake up Wake up love Don't stir or wake up

Streets of Berlin We walk to where we don't know We just walk we we just go with the flow Like the stream below We rock and we roll, like the rolling stones But I don't get no satisfaction We take the day, taking bread and olives Feet are dangling, taking her hand, taking a chance As we take in the river We feel the sun rays, remember some days, and we share a beeren, oh how the drips we sip Just showed me this day could get no better We walk to where we don't know but we will find our way home Home Home Home Home Once again, crops are growing Once again, hearts are beating Once again, I harvest to soon Once again, all I grew is ruined We go to Gardenshe she helps me make a card for my ma From stamps that we just bought, and then I had the craziest thought Maybe she can get a visa and move over to Canada Let me not get ahead of myself We walk to where we don't know To where we don't know To where we don't know But we will find our way home Home is where the heart is On a mountain, or the streets of berlin Home is where the heart is On a mountain, or the streets of berlin

Hellblond 04:50
She's hellblond, she's hellblond I think I've fallen, from earth to heaven Am I in heaven, I go and check with all my brethrens They say she’s the sum of earthly treasures She's An angel, but I swear a babe though Set a part she wears a halo I was thinking, we could kick it Watch shooting stars, make our wishes She's hellblond, she's hellblond Someone quick go call up reverend In her presence, sometimes I feel like a peasant I've got reverence, I bring her presents She’s white as snow, I’m black and beautiful Together we make up the rainbow I was thinking, we could kick it Watch Shooting stars, and make our wishes.. Know they thinking, we too different Ignore them all and make our wishes Know how it is, things don't work this way She comes from privilege, I descend from slaves But She's hellblond, and I'm not bound They say black and white, together don't belong But they all are wrong, we got lots in common We both fell in love, and love does not hold a grudge It's full of hope, it’s on a tightrope We Gonna grab hold and keep our eyes closed I was thinking, if we had kids, they'll come out sun kissed, like the whole the world is

North 04:10
North I'm in a car, going north and of course I'm off course speed limits put limits on my heart I want to drive fast so I pass by the past but the past always seems to laugh last The leaves on the trees once were green, now they seem, pretty sad That the sum of our days equal waste Well I pray that one day we'll find a way to work out all our math Are you still sweet on me, because I'm sweet, sweet on you The memories, keep my tune, keep my blues I'm at a wedding the couple’s confessing their love but I'm betting it won't last forever I know it's depressing But a lasting impression you left when you left with no love in our bed And all of the bedding still has your scenting Still i resent things, still, todavia, will you meet up with me, please, under the trees that are green like the passion you see Driving up north, the discourse that led to the divorce that was forced on my mind all the time Remorse runs its course, though alive I'm a corpse as I drive, try to sort out the lies Though I am rich I am poor, you so quick to ignore all the things that we had in store Now the sound of your name causes pain, and my heart does contort Like cirque du soleil Are you still sweet on me, cause I'm sweet, sweet on you The memories, keep my mood, keep my blues

Wish I was in this park alone Time is too short I know you know History seems be eternal Like cherry blossoms high above us High above us Cherry Blossoms High above us Love has a way of being cruel Teaching me things that aren't true, some are so true How I wish we were sitting back in school With cherry blossoms high above us High above us Cherry Blossoms High above us Is our love lost in moments While time just keeps on moving Or does it keep on growing Cherry blossoms above our heads How I wish we were still good friends or something like acquaintances couple of kids watching the sun set With cherry blossoms high above our heads High above us Cherry Blossoms High above us May no fruit come from you again Cherry blossoms high above us I curse you tree, just like the Christ did In the garden, in the garden

Wonder-Full 03:20
Wonder-full Wonder what you doing now Wonder what you're wearing Wonder if you going out With a flower in you hair and Wonder if you got that smile Matched with that awkward style Those skinny legs make me lose my head make me lose my head Wonder if he treats you nice Wonder if he's caring Wonder what you do at night Or if he compares and Does he do that thing to you Make your voice jump a key or two Those skinny legs make me lose my head I know I wasn’t fair to you baby, I know I wasn’t fair Wish I said the right words so you knew, that nobody compares Nobody compares to you baby, how can they compare Wish I said the right words so you knew, that nobody compares Wonder what you doing now It's been like a decade Wonder if you're married now Or still a single lady Wonder if I call you up If it's empty I'll fill your cup with all my love Those skinny legs make me lose my head make me lose my head

Wave after wave I follow you Over the mountains into blue ‎Then I realize that all the wise ‎Don't become wise just overnight Or only working 9-5 They've got to see the world We've got to see the world ‎ From coast to coast we make a toast Up to the sky, heavenly host They cheer me on, tell me to keep writing these songs Righting these wrongs Confront the rich, comfort the poor Why do the lavish choose to hoard The whole world There's treasure out there Not found in our shares, but when we share The things we think we own How can we own things that were there Long before were born Or draw lines on a map that we don't know We've got to see the world, we've got to see the world Not just the sun, that keeps us warm

Ps. With xo's Far ce la faccio, no I'm not macho, but I done caught you, I won the lotto Apple in my tree, climbing for my treat, if I start falling, will you catch me Fall in love under the Tuscan Sun What a day to fall for someone she takes me to meet her family that's how they do In italy Ciao Bella, I've got to tell ya, Eres tan bella You so stellar Let me get all, my things together, no matter whether, o what type of weather We better together If I fall, will you catch me Fall in love under the Tuscan sun So nice to finally fall in love

Venice 03:47
Stars reflecting on your back Draw constellations like a map In it I’m lost, what is your secret Structure like I've never seen, Long and flowing ancient streams So perfect, must be Venice Am I where I want be So hard to navigate these streets Full of dead ends, and I think we’re sinking Tell me, what are we thinking What are we thinking Are we thinking Can I touch your collar bone Follow your neck up to the shores Can I kiss your skin so soft Turn you on like Microsoft Are we thinking What are we thinking We don't have to take this step Mistakes we haven't didn't make it yet No sins we have to confess No stress of keeping secrets But we keep them We sinking What are we thinking No good can come from keeping these secrets

Emmanuelle 03:06
Emmanuelle Emmanuelle Far as I can tell God is with us Though your spell brings about a lust Tequila shots and champagne Tu veux un bisou Well I happen to want one too I'm curious what the French can do After you weren't the kisses named? Tu veux une cigarette Je deteste, but I'll take one too I'm curious what the french can do We kiss, and dance to la boheme Emmanuelle Surely God's still with us Bien Que, toi a Bordeaux, et moi Dan the bus It's better that we part ways Learn from our mistakes Not because I feel ashamed I just want to go to Cap Ferret better that we part ways Learn from our mistakes No I don’t feel ashamed Je vais a le Cap Ferret To seize my day To see some waves Je vais a le Cap Ferret Emanuelle

Find Our Way 05:53
Find our way Looks like goodbye No need to weep Hold your head high Hold my hand tightly Take a walk with me Let your hair to the breeze Sit under the tree And sing this with me It will be alright, it will be ok Life's dark like night, but we'll find our way So we must part ways Head for our doors I want you to stay But you can’t anymore On some distant shore When the golden bowl Breaks by the cistern And the tears are no more It will be alright, it will be ok Life's dark like night, but we'll find our way So you're gone now Can't hear the melody Of your laugh out loud Or when you walked so proudly Just one more kiss Just a taste of it Time is limited But love is infinite It will be alright, it will be ok Life's dark like night, but we'll find our way It will be alright, because when you walk, flowers grow under your feet And when you talk with me, Angel's do the harmonies And when you walk with me, flowers grow underneath your feet And when you talk with me, Angel's do the harmonies
