Sad Lovers & Giants - Melting In The Fullness Of Time

A Daughter

Sweet Daughter set me free
Sweet Daughter set me free
With all your restless charms
In silken clouds of sleep
Cocooned in my arms
The sunlight is a stream
Of blessings we can share
To save your perfect dreams
I will fight without fear

Vows I’ll keep, I’ve always been so weak
But I’ll be strong, my daughter I’ll be strong

This song was meant to be
The lullaby I’m learning
The pastures gold and green
I’ve tried to forget
Sweet daughter set me free
And keep my soul from burning
And maybe I will sleep
In the still waters yet

Vows I’ll keep I’ve always been so weak
But I’ll be strong ,my daughter I’ll be strong

Send the keeper for the chains
The spike, the fire and the burning rain
I will take it all for her
To save this small defenceless girl

Vows I’ll keep I’ve always been so weak
But I’ll be strong ,my daughter I’ll be strong

Vows I’ll keep I’ve always been so weak
But I’ll be strong, my daughter I’ll be strong
Sweet Daughter set me free
With all your restless charms
In silken clouds of sleep
Cocooned in my arms
	  

German Cars

I’m in love with 
German cars
Gliding past me
On the Autobahn
Stainless idols
With silent hearts
Never turning
As we drift apart 

Are you a lover or a friend?
Its not easy to pretend
That you 
Won’t leave me in the end 
Its not easy 
The end 

It is harder to say goodbye
Than spend the future unsanctified
By the kindness of your empty heart
Kill me softly as we drift apart

 Are you a lover or a friend? 
Its not easy to pretend 
That you Won’t leave me in the end 
Its not easy 
The end 

I know 
That its been
A little sad
In times
Oh I know 
Like a flower
In the Spring
That’s never 
Been rained on 

Are you a lover or a friend? 
Its not easy to pretend
That you 
Won t leave me in the end
Its not easy
The end
	  

Submarine Girl

Yes its true I think of you 
In an air-raid shelter filled with clover
As somewhere on the radio
Our leader says the war is over
Do you recall the coarseness of my uniform? 
I think of you and yes its true 
I lost my heart to a submarine girl

Sometimes you raised my periscope
Sometimes you haven t got a hope 

Do you still remember
All those buses that we missed together?
As deep inside we realised 
That soon the world would change forever
Across the dancefloor 
In our patent leather shoes
Six months under water
Was enough to make a goddess out of you

Sometimes you raised my periscope
Sometimes you haven’t got a hope

Sitting in a hut with a snoring sergeant 
Polishing your boots did you find the time to think of me?
And now we’re sitting in the armchairs by the fireside
Looking at the children of our children happily
And when I look at you sometimes at night 
Well then I know its true that we ve turned out alright

Yes its true I think of you 
In an air-raid shelter filled with clover
As somewhere on the radio 
Our leader says the war is over
Do you recall the coarseness of my uniform?
I think of you and yes its true
I lost my heart to a submarine girl
A submarine girl
	  

I’m Not in Love

I’m not in love
I never was and never will be
And if I was 
I tell myself I’d leave the country 
When the wind blows through the cornfields
Summer will caress my mind 
But seeds are for sowing maybe
This time is harvest time 

I never had a plan to change
My heart will always beat the same 

So this must be insanity
Along with all humanity
Pleasure now, pain to come 
Just like it was a film 
In saying this I always lie
You probably know the reasons why
Pleasure now, pain to come
Just like it was a film
And that’s the deal 

I’m driving now
Always knew you’d find me some day
Wind in my hair 
Seems I’ve always had it my way 
The things you learn that love can teach you
Are lessons of the living kind 
Just as the leaves are falling 
You learn to love, you learn to cry 

I never had a plan to change
My heart will always beat the same

So this must be insanity
Along with all humanity 
Pleasure now, pain to come
Just like it was a film
In saying this I always lie
You probably know the reasons why
Pleasure now, pain to come 
Just like it was a film
And that’s the deal
	  

Learn

Learn 
Learn to live your life
Learn to live your dreams
Learn to live like anyone you choose 
Turn
Turn into yourself
Turn into your memories
Turn into the job you’d like to lose

I
I have seen the light 
I have seen the darkness
I have seen the subtle shades of grey

I 
I am feeling strong 
I am just a step away 
From the place where I will stay forever 

And I am saving all my best bits 
For the future
From my glorious past
A timeless kaleidoscope of grey
Only the foolish
Face the truth of who they are 
They say we are old and lost
But I’ll never sink that far

Growing older 
Growing wiser
Smiling more 
But somehow sadder 
Growing older
Growing sadder
	  

Melting in the Fullness of Time

Red Sky

Red sky in the morning
Was that the sign?
You left without warning
And now the sun won’t shine
They say there is someone
You used to see
He left you and broke your heart 
And now you ve done the same to me

Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Who doesn t know his name? 

You sail on the oceans
I drown at sea
Lost in my emotions
Crawling round the deck
I’m on my hands and knees
You won t believe 
How deep I am sinking
Girl, I m just a wreck without your love 

Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Who doesn t know his name?

Am I the only one
Am I the only one 
Who doesn t know his name? 

And I feel better day by day
And it would help if I could 
Cast a spell to damn his eyes 
But its really myself that I despise
Its the same old picture in a different frame
Its the same old sense of shame 

Am I the only one 
Am I the only one 
Who doesn t know his name?
	  

Black Crow

Stare Down The Garden through the rain
He’s sitting there again
Black carrion crow, black crow
Through all the years I’ve known
He’s always come and gone
But now it looks as if he’s here to stay

So don’t lean on me now
I’ve got to rescue myself
I need a spoonful
Of sweet medicine tonight

And as I look at him
A brand new path begins
Inside my soul
My soul

So don’t lean on me now
I’ve got to rescue myself
I need a spoonful
Of sweet medicine tonight
So don’t lean on me now
I’ve got to rescue myself
I need a spoonful
Of sweet medicine tonight

I’ve got to rescue myself
I’ve got to rescue myself

So don’t lean on me now
I’ve got to rescue myself
I need a spoonful
Of sweet medicine tonight
So don’t lean on me now
I’ve got to rescue myself
I need a spoonful
Of sweet medicine tonight

I’ve got to rescue myself
I’ve got to rescue myself
