roots circus - tell me when

If I can't speak
Then I'll try to sing your name
A truly divine refrain
I'll go cross the oceans, round the world and back again
Just give the word, just tell me when

I've searched for you
Since my first breath of air
Somehow you found me, somewhere
With every beat of my heart
With each and every rising sun
I'll tell the world, that you're the one

So when I hear the radio
Singing songs of love so sweet
Words are too small
To explain bout you and me
And if they write a book some day
A tale about how two hearts meet
They wouldn't come close to the way that my heart feels

Sometimes, there are clouds
Building up above our heads
And all things are left unsaid
But when the sky turns darker
I'll be calling out your name
I was alone until you came

And you know that this is for you
All these precious things around me
Is for you
My love, you know that it is true
The world is divided
But with you I feel as one
You are my calm before the storm

roots circus - there is a spell over this city

They made the sun rise once again
And put the wolves back in their cages
I've been asleep for many days
Not wide awake for ever
Seems like nothing can get through
This grey lid that they call heaven
Missing sunshine missing you
Feeling worn out bound and beaten
All the snow makes me believe
A sunny morning in December
It's always been the way for me
For just as long as I remember
And soon the city
And soon the city will awake
Send out an army of pretenders
I plead a dirty black machine
A race that will go on forever

Ah ah ah ah aah .....

There is a black cloud coming down
You know that this place smells of pity
Too many vultures in this town
There is a spell over this city
Too much violence on the streets
Only bad news in the paper
Smiling snakes are wealthy thieves
Too many soldiers too much hatred

Ah ah ah ah......

Now the wolves are out again
There's a shark close to these beaches
Dark and heavy falls the rain
And all the souls are mute are speechless
So many things I'll never see
And all the truths they never told me

What is left for me to believe
When the world and you is burning?
There is a bird trapped in my chest
And my restless bones are aching
I am a one track speeding train
I am a mind ready to cave in
I am the centre of the earth
I am too fast and I'm too lazy
I cannot breathe for all this dirt
But in the end you always save me

roots circus - hungry heart

One day I will fly away from here
Just spread my wings and see
What lies in store for me
There's somebody I need to be
One day I will just leave this place
And leave an empty desk
And all this hollow stress
I've been loosing sleep for years
Cause my hungry heart
Tells me keep changing just keep on changing
Cause my feet and bones
Tells me keep moving, just keep on moving

So I say hey
I see them turning into zombies
Into vampires
Sucking life out of my veins
Until we end up all the same
Hey, I see them turning into spiders
Into tigers
Eating flesh right of my bones
Until I end up all alone

Something in these halls made me sick
It made me loose my touch
It made me think too much
It dug in deep under my skin
Trapped behind a wall ten feet thick
So I no longer hear, the music in my ear
Can't remember where I've been
Cause my hungry heart
Tells me keep changing just keep on changing
Cause my feet and bones
Tells me keep moving, just keep on moving

So I say hey
I see them turning into zombies
Into vampires
Sucking life out of my veins
Until we end up all the same
Hey, I see them turning into spiders
Into tigers
Eating flesh right of my bones
Until I end up all alone

Cause my hungry heart
Tells me keep changing just keep on changing
Cause my feet and bones
Tells me keep moving, just keep on moving

roots circus - beautiful world

When I see something, I haven't seen
Seen about a million times before
When all things around me
Are working out just like the way
They were planned for
Like thunder and lightning
And all the powers
That mother nature has in store
Well it reminds me, that we are living
We're living in a beautiful world

Beautiful world
We are living in a beautiful world
Beautiful world

I love cold mornings, just like I love
Just like I love the summer light
The smell of breakfast
When you've been sleeping
Just like a child all through the night
To see new places, to find a way
Through all the chaos all around
Well it reminds me, that we are living
We're living in a beautiful world

Beautiful world
We are living in a beautiful world
Beautiful world

Of all the things surrounding me
It's the love, it's the love, it's the love
We don't got that much time you see
In this world, in this world, in this world

Beautiful world
We are living in a beautiful world
Beautiful world

roots circus - love song

In the pale light of the setting sun
I realize what we've become
and I think about I what could have been
Then I close my eyes and go to sleep
Only ruins what we left behind It's in these ruins
That I spend my time
Walking through what still remains
until I let myself be swept away

I Lost track of whom
I am and why I need somebody by my side
What I do to make it through the day
so now I close mu eyes and drift away
And then morning comes and nothing's changed
All and everything is still the same
But really nothing seems to matter now
that you're gone every love song is about you

Now every love song is about
Every word they sing they're all about you
Now every raindrop is for you
And all the tears I've cried they're all for you

Wish I could love you like you want me to
but I can only love the way I do
And I know I never told you why but I
hope you understand
I tried There is this part of me that never rests
Like a vicious voice inside my head
Like your words that seems be stuck with me
Cause when you're gone Every love song is about

Now every love song is about
Every word they sing they're all about you
Now every raindrop is for you
And all the tears I've cried they're all for you

All have to give it all away
no remorse
no regrets
never regrets
never forget
Don't look back no more tears

roots circus - sadtown

Sadtown, we're all living in this sadtown
Shadows running on every wall
Waiting for that mysterious call
Footsteps carved in the concrete
Never chasing away the beast
Didn't turn out the way he planned

Sadtown
Everything's been lost but
Nothing has been found
Sadtown
Don't feel you're safe here
Don't feel you're safe in this town

Sadtown, we're living in this sadtown
Names written in stone
It's aching into the bone
Sinking deeper thru the ground
Begging for that grasping hand
Didn't turn out the way he planned

Sadtown
Everything's been lost but
Nothing has been found
Sadtown
Don't feel you're safe here
Don't feel you're safe in this town

Sadtown, we are all living in this sadtown
Sadtown, we are all living in this sadtown
Sadtown, we are all living in this sadtown
Sadtown, we are all living in this sadtown
Sadtown
Sadtown

roots circus - hard times

Ah-ah-ah-ah-aahaa

No, I couldn't see it coming
I was affraid of falling
So you tore down every wall when you walked out that door

You where so afraid of leaving
To loose what we belived in
But every minute turned to days, you had to find your way

I forgot my own desires
I became the worst lier
I even fooled myself, began to loose myself

So they day you left me crying
I had to stop denying
You made it all so clear, it was my life I feared

When the earth is shaking
When the ground is breaking
When my feelings flow - That's when I grow - That's when I grow
When the light is fading
When the truth is changing
When the hard times show - That's when I grow

I did what I could to stop you
I tried my best to hold on to
All the memories and laughs, the fire in the past

Like there would be no tomorrow
No fading of the sorrows
One day I came to see we weren't meant to be

Ah-ah-ah-ah-aahaa

roots circus - know me by now

I see a million empty eyes
That've seen the world a billion times
When you're looking into mine
Tell me if you know me by now
I hear a million voices speak
But to me they don't sound real
When you're listening to mine
Tell me if you know me by now

Try to forget the screen
Forget how it makes you feel
Forget about the face you see
Cause that face could be you

Tell me what do you fear
And tell me your dreams
Look past the clothes I wear
Imagine you're me

I see a million empty eyes
That've seen the world a billion times
When you're looking into mine
Tell me if you know me by now
I hear a million voices speak
But to me they don't sound real
When you're listening to mine
Tell me if you know me by now

Where do we go from here
And what do we leave
Is this enough for you
What is it you need?

Nothing of this will last, we are
Just passing by
All this will disappear, in a
Blink of an eye

I see a million empty eyes
That've seen the world a billion times
When you're looking into mine
Tell me if you know me by now
I hear a million voices speak
But to me they don't sound real
When you're listening to mine
Tell me if you know me by now
Bridge x2

I had my mind set on the top
Of a mountain but now
I'm standing on the edge of a cliff
I always thought I could
Keep myself above this
But now I'm standing on a edge of a cliff

I see a million empty eyes
That've seen the world a billion times
When you're looking into mine
Tell me if you know me by now
I hear a million voices speak
But to me they don't sound real
When you're listening to mine
Tell me if you know me by now

roots circus - there is no us

Never saw the hand that struck me down
Never heard the gun go off
I couldn't see the storm clouds building up
Until they bore down on me

Now I'm standing in a hurricane
Now I face the bleeding sky
While the rain turns to a crashing flood
A tidal wave of lies

For a moment I thought of you
And what I should do
To get over you

For a moment I thought of us
But there is no us
No there never was

For a moment I thought of you
And what I should do
To get over you

For a moment I thought of us
But there is no us
No there never was

Maybe all of this was destiny
Maybe all was ment to be
But it's still your face I'm looking for
Everywhere that I go

Now I tell myself I'm safe from harm
I say that the storm has passed
Then I go and act a fool again
And we are right back where we began

Maybe I knew just what I was
Getting into and built my own walls
Maybe I knew and maybe it's true
But I'm damned no matter what I do

roots circus - just one place

I need to be, where the sun meets the sky
Just one place for me
Where the air is clean and bright
All that I feel lies inside
All that I see in your eyes

I need to sleep
Where the sea is always near
Just one place for me
Where the waves are all I hear
All across the sky tonight
A thousand stars sing lullabies

Right here is where I belong
Right now is the time

Been waiting for a sign, boy
Don't think we need to wait no more
This is the right time, boy
This is the time we're longing for

I need to dance
Underneath the neon lights
Just one place for me
Just when everything feels right
All over town, tonight
Our smiling faces paint the sky

Right here is where I belong
Right now is the time

Been waiting for a sign, boy
Don't think we need to wait no more
This is the right time, boy
This is the time we're longing for

roots circus - i still believe

Remind me of the songs we used to sing
How you said that we would live
Through everything
Tell all those pretty lies to me again
I still believe, I still believe
Tell me about the stars, you used to say
Oh how you would take them down
For me one day
Tell all those pretty lies to me again
I still believe, I still believe

Oh, there's something with this place
A part of me never left here
Oh, and I said to myself
That I never come back
But well now here I am
Oh, and it seems nothing has changed
These streets are just like I left them
Oh, just a quick glimpse of that
And I'm back in my room
Listening to sonic youth

Remind me of the songs we used to sing
How you said that we would live
Through everything
Tell all those pretty lies to me again
I still believe, I still believe
Tell me about the stars, you used to say
Oh how you would take them down
For me one day
Tell all those pretty lies to me again
I still believe, I still believe

Oh, when they turn on the lights I am gone
Can't stand the chance to see you
And, with my door shut behind
Then I finally can, get you out my head
But oh, when the night comes around
And I'm left, alone my mind starts to wander
Oh, if my heart could decide
You would be here with me
Instead of just memories

The distance that we keep from each other
Won't be there forever
Remember the nights we had
And now I love the pain that I feel
When I see you walk away

Remind me of the songs we used to sing
How you said that we would live
Through everything
Tell all those pretty lies to me again
I still believe, I still believe
Tell me about the stars, you used to say
Oh how you would take them down
For me one day
Tell all those pretty lies to me again
I still believe, I still believe

roots circus - must have been love

Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely there's air of silence
In the bedroom and all around

Touch me now I close my eyes
And dream away

It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good but I lost it somehow

It must have been love but it's over now
From the moment we touched 'till the time had run out

It must have been love but it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows

Make believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I've turned to water
Like a teardrop in your palm

And it's a hard winters day
I dream away

Chorus

Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely there's air of silence
In the bedroom and all around

And it's hard winters day
I dream away

roots circus - imagination

Your mind is just like
Water flowing, just like
Trees that's growing
You should do with it what you like
Try to use your
Imagination, leads you, through creation
Let your fantasies run wild
Your mind is just like
A roaring engine, thoughts are, never ending
Make all your dreams alive
Then the earth will sing
The earth will sing

There's magic in my hands
Still the paper staring back at me blank
Another hour pass
Still chasing that one moment that will last
You know how it feels
When your head's so full
Of thoughts that you can't sleep
The air is full of inspiration
You can't reach
All these doors but you can't
Seem to find the key
Then you must trust what you feel

Your mind is just like
Water flowing, just like
Trees that's growing
You should do with it what you like
Try to use your
Imagination, leads you, through creation
Let your fantasies run wild
Your mind is just like
A roaring engine, thoughts are, never ending
Make all your dreams alive
Then the earth will sing
The earth will sing

When everything feels right
Ideas rush down a highway in your mind
All things fall in to place
Like raindrops falling down on your face
You know what comes next
Just like a stone that's has been
Lifted from your chest
Just like fresh air
When you've been gasping for a breath
That magic moment when you do
What you do best
When you forget about the rest

Your mind is just like
Water flowing, just like
Trees that's growing
You should do with it what you like
Try to use your
Imagination, leads you, through creation
Let your fantasies run wild
Your mind is just like
A roaring engine, thoughts are, never ending
Make all your dreams alive
Then the earth will sing
The earth will sing

roots circus - milky way

Well I don't know the birds but
It seems they always got someplace to go
And I don't know the trees but
They always seems to know just where to grow
It ain't no mystery
It's just a matter of numbers of choice
And of priorities
Chose something and another thing is lost

I'm always dreaming of a better day
But it's like walking on the milky way
I'm always dreaming of a better day
But it's like walking on the milky way

What if your thoughts were blank
Would you feel better if your mind was numb?
What if your eyes were blind
Would this change anything of what's to come?
There's always something else
A better way and greener grass that grows
But if you stand your ground
A brighter day will come to you you know

I'm always dreaming of a better day
But it's like walking on the milky way
I'm always dreaming of a better day
But it's like walking on the milky way
I'm always dreaming of a better day
But it's like walking on the milky way
Bridge

So what do you know
What hides in your soul?
And what do you care
Of all that's out there?
I know what I've learned
What makes this world turn
It's all 'bout trying
It's all 'bout trying

It's all 'bout trying, so keep on trying
It's all 'bout trying, I'll keep on trying
It's all 'bout trying

I'm always dreaming of a better day
But it's like walking on the milky way
I'm always dreaming of a better day
But it's like walking on the milky way
I'm always dreaming of a better day
But it's like walking on the milky way
