Lyrics Moving through the Night
Nothing’s Changed
In the old hard days, long ago, men were killed and children were torn.
The strongest men, conquered land, left a trail of blood and a path of death
Nothing’s changed, but we inflict the pain in a civilized way.
Nothing’s gained, but we skip the bone, straight on to the brain
Waiting for the tide to change
Waiting for the hurt to fade
Waiting here to feel, breathe, love in a different way
Waiting for the tide to change
Waiting for the day to break
But I feel…
In the great World Wars, a while ago, people driven in the corner but they hadn’t done anything wrong
It took a lot of burns, to control the flames and a lifelong scar to remember the pain
Nothing’s changed, but we inflict the pain in a civilized way
Waiting for the tide to change
When you feel the hurt pumping through your veins
Waiting for the tide to change
Waiting for the hurt to fade
Waiting here to feel, breathe, love in a different way
Waiting for the tide to change
Waiting for the day to break
But I feel…
I’m slipping away, slipping away, fading away, slipping away
Take the life
Gonna take the pain away
Gonna take the lies away
Gonna take the lies, take the lies, take the lies, take the lies away
Waiting for the tide to change
Waiting for the day to break
But I feel, I feel
I’m Slipping away, slipping away
Waiting for the tide to change
Waiting for the hurt to fade
But I feel, I’m fading away
Take the Chance
She said grab the past, to realize, what’s wrong with your life
You gotta turn back time, preserve what’s right and recapture who you used to be
I said talent and freedom
Where did it lead us
We didn’t get it right
Affection or passion
Dressed in a fashion
We never fitted right
Fitted right
Fitted right
It never fitted right
Dirty devil at the door I shut a long ago, spying on my life through an old key hole
I said whow this is wrong
Like a torn out page from a book I closed, straight in my face, what I feared most,
I said whow this is wrong
I’ve had my memory frozen
Damaged and broken
But you lit up my darker side
Affection or passion
Dressed in a fashion
We never fitted right
Fitted right
It never fitted right
The truth is that I’m lost.
She said, turn back time, preserve what’s right and recapture how you used to feel.
But I don’t want my steady little life, happy after all, to be blown in a million pieces by a cannon ball
I said whow this is wrong
The truth is that I’m lost. You know I’m lost
Last man Standing
Brain freeze, from dancing to the beat till lying on the street
Flashback, the rhythm of the drums and I
Freak out, drinks all on the house, the music is loud
Space time, moving through the night, mind in the sky
High, still free, full of love
From moving on my feet till lying on the street
And brain freeze, the body’s on a break, asleep but still awake
Flashback, just a little pill, causing all the thrills
And I, feel free, full of love, and ecstasy
I’m the last man standing, but I’m temporary on the ground
I’ll be back on my feet until the day that I’m six feet underground, safe and sound
I’m the last man standing, but I’m temporary on the ground
I won’t be walking soon my dear, because the last man standing has fallen down, flat on the ground
Help me, I’m lying on the street and dying for some heat
I need you, come on and pick me up, and I’ll be back on top
I know life, felt like this before, I’ll swim back to the shore
And be back, feeling so alive alive
And I’ll be free, full of love, and ecstasy
I’m the last man standing, but I’m temporary on the ground
I won’t be walking soon my dear, because the last man standing has fallen down, going down
Well I’m out here all alone, I can’t make it on my own, I got a killer in my veins, and I’m dying for some change
But I’ve been gone, too damn long
I was the last man standing, but I nailed myself to the ground
And I don’t think I’ll be walking soon my dear, because the last man standing has fallen down.
I was the last man standing, but I nailed myself to the ground
I won’t be walking soon my dear, because the last man standing has fallen down.
Going down, flat on the ground
Going down, I couldn’t make a sound
Going down, flat on the ground
Real Love
I’ve been losing, gambling on a dead end street
So take me, back to reality
Cause if I read this, I need this, I breathe it, I can’t get you out of my mind
And if you show me, you know me, you throw me around in this two of a kind
Two of a kind it is
Tell me what’s the price for a ticket, back to security
Cause I’ve been moving moving moving till the end of a dead end street
Just a step, one small step, that’s enough for me
Just a step, one small step and I can make it real
Cause real love is everything, it means the world to me
Hey real love is challenging, it gets the best out of me
Hey real love, real life, that could make me feel like I’m at home
Cause if I read this, I need this, I breathe it, I can’t get you out of my mind
And if you show me, you know me, you throw me around in this two of a kind
Two of a kind it is
Cause real love means everything, it means the world to me
Real love is challenging, it gets the best out of me
Hey real love, real life, that could make me feel like I’m at home
At home
Ain’t the one
I know you've been searching for love all your life
Got lost when you found some, you stranded every time
You collected painful memories in your diary quite a while
Sorrow was out on the prowl
Thank god I’ve met you, you added with a smile
Brought me happiness and even ended desperate times
Too tired of deception, too weak for a fight
Convinced you’d found the love of your life
But I know I ain´t the one, hey I know that I ain´t, I ain´t the one
Said I know, I ain´t the one, hey I know that I ain´t, I ain´t the one
For you now
Life’s never easy and true love is hard to find
specially when you’re dealing with the pain of being the one who’s left behind
Now I got your hopes up, for the first time in your life
But I’m afraid it will be over in a while
Cause I know I ain´t the one, hey I know that I ain´t, I ain´t the one
Said I know, I ain´t the one, hey I know that I ain´t, I ain´t the one
Cause this is torture and this is pain, I’ll be moving on and things will never be the same
This is the moment, we can´t fix cracks, I´m at the other side of the bridge, and never coming back no
Cause I know I ain´t the one, hey I know that I ain´t, I ain´t the one
Said I know, I ain´t the one, hey I know that I ain´t, I ain´t the one
I aint the one, I aint the one, I don’t know what you believe but I ain’t the one
Said I know, I ain´t the one, hey I know that I ain´t, I ain´t the one
Moving through the Night
People see me moving through the city, people see me walking through the night
People see me blending with a shadow, in the kingdom of the blind
In the night, in the night, in the night, in the night
People see me moving through the city
People see me walking through the night
People see me moving through the darkness
When I move, in the night
But it´s raining in the water
And it´s raining on the streets
And it´s freezing in the night time
It swept me off my feet
And I know that I’m a liar and I know that life’s untrue and I know that I’m a sinner
But I’m out here because of you
Painted by the darkness of the nighttime, woken by a sound of shattered glass
People see me moving through the moonlight while the sunshine lies to rest
Like the rest, like the rest, in the night, in the night
But it´s raining in the water
And it´s raining on the streets
And it´s freezing in the nighttime
It swept me off my feet
Hey I know that I’m a liar and I know that life’s untrue and I know that I’m a sinner
But I’m out here because of you
People see me moving through the city, disappearing in the night
Overpowered by a motion and threatened by a sound
People see me moving through the city
People see me moving out of sight
Cause I´m cursed by the night
But it´s raining in the water
And it´s raining on the streets
And it´s freezing in the nighttime
It swept me off my feet
Hey I know that I’m a liar and I know that life’s untrue and I know that I’m a sinner
But I’m out here because of you
One empty Heart
In a distant street, that only fate can find
I heard something you should know
There’s a different life my friend
The one that you can’t lead
I just wanted you to know
There’s a distant slide in a different lane
And you’re wasting time when you fail to change
Tell me I’m wrong
Worlds from where I belong
But I know you’re not that strong
Once again
Tell me you’re right and loving life
Harmonies in your life
But the truth is in your eyes
Once again
There’s a different path you see
A bridge you’ve never crossed
I just thought that you should know
Every troubled life‘s got a brighter side
And you’re wasting time when you fail to fight
Tell me I’m wrong
Worlds from where I belong
But I know you’re not that strong
Once again
Tell me you’re right and loving life
Symphonies in your mind
But the truth is in your eyes
Look around around, it’s a beautiful life, it’s a beautiful life, you need a change to shine
Look around around, it’s a beautiful life, it’s a beautiful life, you need a change to shine
Look around around, it’s a beautiful life
If something is a missing it’s time to look around, don’t waste your life in anger worrying feeling down.
Danger’s hiding after every step you take, but that don’t mean you shouldn’t change
Living in sorrow, facing troubles in your life, sorry for yourself and breaking down to cry,
But if you’re not that strong, follow me
Just follow me
Rough on Me
Nerve wrecked and awake for twenty hours
Carrying a ring that I could barely afford
Proposed at a candlelight dinner
And you replied with a two letter word
I said hey, you’re kind of rough on me tonight
I said hey, you’re kind of rough on me tonight
I sold you a shiny bright future
You rented me a stolen heart
Crying like the Mississippi river
Moaning that I’d moved too fast
You said darling I gotta go now, I’m moving away
The storm is in my mind as the lies are redefined and the haze is spreading night and day
Something in your eyes, it made me realize, you’ve hurt me more than I could ever take
Silence moving in, a war we couldn’t win, even now the storm has died
Something in your face, an awful lot of change, you’re rough on me tonight
You turned down the music and the flowers
And left us listening to a silent song
Got lost inside a trap of self destruction
Wouldn’t let me speak or even prove you’re wrong
I said hey, you’re kind of lost in life tonight
I said hey, you’re kind of lost in life tonight
I said hey, you’re kind of lost in life
But someway, someday, I’ll be yours and everything you’ll need
Somehow, someway, we’ll be strolling down an endless lane
Someday, someway, you’ll me mine until the end of time
Someway we’ll get it right
Packed with a temper and a suitcase
And locked up in an overcoat
You left with an oversized lecture
But the message fitted on a little note
I said hey, you’re kind of rough on me tonight
I said hey, you’re kind of rough on me tonight
Mad at Me
We’ve been riding on a rainbow, moving to the light,
crawling to the sunshine, reeling out of sight
Been cursed with all the blessings, touched by all that’s right,
moved by everything that’s kind
I look up to the world and look up to the sky,
don't look down onto a beggar, moving through the night
I think before I reason, look before I step
I clean before I leave a mess
So don’t be mad at me
Then I won’t be mad at you
Don’t be tired of me
Then I won’t be tired of you,
cried you’re in the middle of the road
and you just can’t pick a side
We’ve been sliding down a rainbow, gliding on the light,
Freedom as a fortune, miles above the ground
We never needed money, never lived a lie
That’s something you should realize
So don’t be mad at me
Then I won’t be mad at you
Don’t be tired of me
Then I won’t be tired of
You are the reason
You are the life
You’re all I wanted
To make it right
So don’t be mad at me
Then I won’t be mad at you
Don’t be tired of me
Then I won’t be tired of you,
cried you’re in the middle of the road
and you just can’t pick a side
My Place
Trust me, I know you will be fine in here
You’re under my wings so there’s nothing to fear
Believe me, the world’s not gonna hurt you here
Soon the pain will disappear my friend
cause you are in the place, where no one can hurt you
god will protect you here
This cracking wood, for warmth and for shelter
Trust me dear cause you are in my place
The night falls, down into a sleepless dream
But soon your wounds will all be healed my friend
cause you are in the place, where no one can hurt you
god will protect you here.
This cracking wood, for warmth and for shelter
Trust me dear cause you are in my place
This is my place, this is my harbor
And I know you won’t get lost in here
This is my place, my place, and I know you will be safe in here
In here, trust me dear cause you are in my place
This is my place, this is my harbor
And I know you will be fine in here
This is my place, my place, and I know you won’t get hurt in here
You’re in my life, you’re in my harbor, and I know you won’t get lost in here
This is my place, my place, and I know you will be safe in here
