The clock is ticking tic toc
And time ain't gonna turn back
to pick you up
If you stop along the way
That's time that goes away
There may be no tomorrow
So don't waste your time in sorrow
Stranded in the past
Seize life while you may
Live it up everyday
The stars are reciting
The story that you're writing
in the universe
Make the most of every word
And don't let them be unheard
Drink deeply from this ancient cup
The true essence of life
But don't spill a single drop
Of life

Two old lovers

I was trying to find myself staring
At the mirror of my wrinkled hands
When I got swept into the whirlpool
Of an hourglass falling sands
And I saw two young lovers
Dancing in the dunes of love
Two young lovers drunk on love
Now I walk a little bit slower
And there are somethings that I can't recall
Though my vision is getting blurry
I still can see us in the dance hall
We were two young lovers
Dancing to the beat of love
Two young lovers drunk on love
Many things slowly slipped away
Since the day that you became my wife
But in this world that begins to fade
You're still the spark lighting up my life
And like two young lovers
We keep dancing in the name of love
Two old lovers still in love

There's a new star shinning bright
Like no other in the night
Sparkling pearl up in the skies
With the colour of your eyes
The saddest clouds begin to weep
For you fell into an endless sleep
Caroline
Life's a candle's swaying flame
That slowly burns away
But when you were still in your prime
Yours burnt out before its time
Overshadowing your life's beams
All your hopes and all your dreams
Caroline
It's hard to realise you are not coming back
Now that your halo fades to black
Caroline

Watching all the world go by
While the moon reigned the sky
I couldn't help but stare
When I saw you standing there
At the last lamppost of the street
We walked beneath every light
Of the streets that night
The world ceased to exist
When we first kissed
At the last lamppost of the street
And we spent every night
Throughout the summer together
Oh sweet love
But now those days are foregone
And though I thought I'd moved on
Every time I pass by that place
I'm hoping to see your face
At the last lamppost of the street

You roam
In those worn out shoes
'cos at home
There is nothing else than memories and blues
Silver streets of rain
Walked ten thousand times to heal the pain
No matter what you do
Love turns its back on you
Alone
In the multitude
Bound
To live this life in solitude
No matter what you do
Love turns its back on you

Dear my sweet Giulietta
I'm sending you these words
Huddled in the trenches
Beneath the stars and the faint light of the moon
Please excuse my bad writing
For today I killed a man
Now my hands are shaking
And I feel so very far way from home
From the shelter of your lips
My dearest Giulietta
Your letter just arrived
In these days of pain and sorrow
Your words brought light into this cold dark night
I'm marching to the battle
With your lines on my mind
In these field of fear and horror
I feel closer to the beating of your heart
And to the shelter of your lips
Dear my love Giulietta
I'm pleading with the wind
To send you these my last words
I'm whispering as I'm laying on the ground
Now the world's going quiet
I fix my gaze up to the sky
And I hide for the last time
In the one place where I always feel safe
In the shelter of your lips
