SISTER

Sister
born before me
with hope and glory
to behold

Yet holy
fate denied her
now angels guide her
into the fold
 
As another long day closes in,
are you coming home tonight?
‘Cause heaven knows where I begin
but I’m going for the ride

Money can’t buy
No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream

Money can't buy
No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream

Years fall
by the wayside
and time can only
ease the pain

And who knows
which way the wind blows
I'm on the outside
and I’m looking in

Now there’s only one thing you should know  
I've not made it on my own
'Cause heaven knows your under my skin
and with you I'm not alone

Money can’t buy
No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream

Money can’t buy
No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream
can't buy my dream

Heaven have mercy
God knows it hurts me
if I try
try to bury my sorrow
where no one can follow
I say goodbye
to my Sister
my one and only
with hope and glory
to behold

Money can’t buy
No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream

Money can’t buy
No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream

CLOUD NINE

Thought I saw you up there
Drifting with the clouds
Thought I heard you call me
First quietly then loud
Is it imagination? What is real?
I think I'm part of you
I breathe like you feel

Can't forget the power
The magic of the night
The overwhelming moment
I looked into your eyes
Dancing with the wind
Dancing in your arms
Gliding like two surfers
in the sea of love

Don't ask for tomorrow
Just carry on with now
Don't drown your heart in sorrow
I've got to leave you now
Don't ask me for the future
Don't cry for yesterday         
It's time to say goodbye now
I'm sure we'll meet again

Moments turn to hours
Hours into days
My lonely heart is aching
Since you've gone away
I wish you'd read my mind
Send a little sign
I carry you so deeply
Within my soul

Don't ask for tomorrow
Just carry on with now
Don't drown your heart in sorrow
I've got to leave you now
Don't ask me for the future
Don't cry for yesterday         
It's time to say goodbye now
I'm sure we'll meet again

ELEMENT OF TRUTH

Reaching higher than the stars
Those dreams of ours
Too bright to last forever

Foreign lands call out for more
Like once before
They move a little closer

Moments passing through my hands
Like grains of sand
They slip right through my fingers

Walking over streets of old
A past untold
An element of truth
An element of truth

SIGNALS

Like an echo from a distant past
Like an old familiar face
Sound and vision from a bygone time
of a long forgotten place

Send a message
Send a message
Send it on
Send a message
Send a message
Send it on

Like a signal from another world  
A lonely voice across the universe
Casting further than the eye can see
Coded messages unheard

Send a message
Send it on
Send a message
Send it on
Send a message
Send it on
Send a message
Send it on

Images unknown
Searching for a home

Searching for a home

ONE AND ONLY (SISTER)

Sister
born before me
with hope and glory
to behold

Yet holy
fate denied her
now angels guide her

As another long day closes in,
are you coming home tonight?
‘Cause heaven knows where I begin
but I’m going for the ride

Money can’t buy
No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream

Money can't buy
No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream

Years fall

No money can buy
Money can't buy my dream

DRAFI DEUTSCHER
"Jeanne d' Arc"


 

JEANNE D' ARC

(McCluskey, dt.: ?)

 

Jeanne d´Arc geh voran !
Wo du bist, ist der Sieg,
und jeder folgt dir Mann für Mann
in den Tod, in den Krieg.

In der Schlacht von Orleans
gab der König dir sein Heer.
Trommelklang - der Kampf begann.
Wo viel Feinde, gibt´s viel Ehr.

Oh Jeanne d´Arc, und dieses Land
wolltest du vom Feind befrei´n.
Doch Neid und Hass und Schimpf und Schand
sollten bald das Ende sein.

Gefangenschaft und Tod und Pein
und ein Urteil, dass man kennt.
Der Henker kam - du warst allein.
Das Feuer dich verbrennt.

 

 

NINO DE ANGELO
"UND EIN ENGEL FLIEGT IN DIE NACHT


 

Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht

(Humphreys/Cooper, dt.: Horn-Bernges)

 

Refrain:

Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
Macht sich auf den Weg in die Ewigkeit
Diese Welt hat ihm Angst gemacht
Niemand hatte hier für ihn Zeit

Vers 1:

Du warst zu lange 
Nicht mehr hier unten
Die Zeit für Engel ist hier schon längst vorbei
Zwischen Computern
Im Heer der Technik
Mußte ein Engel wie du verloren sein

Refrain:

Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
Und ich wünsche ihm auf dem Weg viel Glück
Daß ihm niemals ein Flügel bricht
Denn sonst findet er nicht zurück

Refrain:

Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
Macht sich auf den Weg in die Ewigkeit
Diese Welt hat ihm Angst gemacht
Niemand hatte hier für ihn Zeit

Vers 2:

Hoffnung und Liebe 
War deine Botschaft
In lauten Straßen hörte dich niemand
Hier ist Liebe 
Nicht mehr so wichtig
Eine Träne ist Wasser und nicht mehr

Refrain:

Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
Und ich wünsche ihm auf dem Weg viel Glück
Daß ihm niemals ein Flügel bricht
Denn sonst findet er nicht zurück

Refrain:

Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
Denn dort oben wartet viel mehr auf ihn
Und ich schau' ihm noch lange nach
Und ich würde gern' mit ihm flieh'n

(April Music)
