Lyrics "the wind sings the song"

Dreamer Number One


You call me dreamer number one, you call me drifter in a song
You say my head hangs in a cloud, but in a way that makes me proud, makes me proud

I've got a soul that wants to sing, I've got a mind that's wondering
I've got a heart that's on his way, breaks away, from the sorrow of today

Feel the wings that make me fly, hear the strings that make me high
It's an energy that makes me live again, just like I'm lost and found again
Just like I'm lost and found again

Well Mr Steady is that wrong, escape from life itself in songs ?
Cause with eyes open it's hard to roam, all in all I'm not at home, are you home ?
I hear the hungry babies cry, I feel the mighty mountains die
But the moon will shine along, on and on, and the lovers kiss along

It's my way to deal with joy and pain, here is my sunlight, here's my rain
Here is my life, and everything I am, every tune that I am
And I can dream oh yes I can, I can dream yes I can..

You call me dreamer number one, you call me drifter in a song
But I don't care it's how I live and want to give
Through the songs, I want to give

So let that rythm come on in, feel the fire that makes me sing
Feel the love, feel the brightest light, in the night to the light..
It's like the wind that carries on, it's like the ocean wild and stong
It's an energy that makes me live again, just like I'm lost and found again
Feel the wings that make me fly, hear the strings that make me high
This is my world, a song where I belong, I belong in these songs
And I can live within my song, I can dream in my song

 

The Ramblin Dreamer


Rocky Mountain snow, in the forest up in Colorado
He wants to go, where the rivers are running free
Mighty buildings finally dim, the city-life can't satisfy him
Travel slow, to search where he should be

He sings a song, bout a boy who laughed and talked with dolphins
Who still could see, we all are just a part,
of creatures who must live as one, belong to one another
On earth below, up in the sky above, the final strength is love

And as he walks and had another mile
He closes his eyes, just for a little while
He tries to smile, when he thinks about his town
But that picture always aches and brings him down

The dollar is king, in places like his New York city
Factories sing, the sun you'll never see
In the morning in the night, it isn't what he calls a life that's bright
Under fears, he spend there many years

In the mountains, he'll show what he can be
Through the canyons, he'll sing to you and me
He's never been loved, so he will always roam
And tells himself the Rockies are his everlasting home

There are some tears, in the eyes of the rambling dreamer
He sees the sky and the sunlight on a tree
Mother earth 's his friend, but there is no one, who holds his hand
His lover is the moon, his light, who kisses him goodnight

 

Longing To Be Home Again


While the lovers walk along on the bridge in setting sunlight
And I'm about a thousand miles from you
Romance fills the air, every heart seems smiling
Every heart seems far away from blue

There's a lonely deep within, the soul of this young stranger
I walk along and try to find a glow
But my love it slips away, from this bridge along the river
It's flowing to the sweetest girl I know

Love shows where my searching heart is, and far away from you
I long to be home again, falling in your arms, this love is true
Now I'm alone, wishing you were here, the setting sunlight's bringing you to me

While the lovers kiss along, on the bridge in the moonlight
A guitar and a violin share soft romantic tune
I close my eyes and see your face and dream how we'd enjoy this
And pray I'll safe return again to you

Love shows where my searching heart is, and far away from you,
I long to be home again, falling in your arms this love is true
Now I'm alone, wishing you were here, the peaceful moonlight's bringing you
bringing you to me, this love is true, now I'm alone, wishing you were here
The peaceful moonlight's bringing you to me

 

Can You Feel How Much I Love You


You are here and you are there, you're in my mind most everwhere I go
You are the lady that I love
It's strange but since my heart's for you, the dreams I dreamed have all come true
You are the only one I'm thinking of

And I was one who said that I, could live alone and love the sky
And didn't need much more than what I had
But now you are a part of me, without I don't wanna be, no more
I would feel empty and be sad

Can you feel how much I love you, in the songs I sing
Can you feel I'm so grateful you are mine
Can you feel how much you mean to me, through everything
Can you feel the way I watch you in the night
You are the one for me, you are my light

Sometimes I don't seem to know, how to let my feelings show
Although there are a thousand ways for me
And things may change and things may go, but darlin we will be fine though
I'll carry you and you will carry me

Can you feel how much I love you, in the songs I sing
Can you feel I still can't believe you're mine
Can you feel how much I need you through all the crazy things
Can you feel the way I shiver in the night,
when you hold me in your arms so warm and tight

Can you feel how much I love you, in the songs I sing
Can you feel I'm so grateful you are mine
Can you feel how much you mean to me, through everything
Can you feel the way I watch you in the night
You are the one for me, you are my light, always day and night
You are the one for me, my only light

 

When I'm Young, When I'm Old


Would you need me, I ask you, when the best of our years have gone trough
When I'm grey and I'm too weak to walk, would you still be there to kiss and talk
Would you hold me when I'm tired, hold me the same way when we say goodnight
Would you wait when I'm away, would you be there every night and day

Seasons come and seasons go, and the storms will always blow
Dreams and plans, won't always rhyme and the things could change in time
But this feeling in my heart, makes it happen that we'll never part
The romance that flows this day, is a romance that won't fade away
It won't fade away

Would you love me as you do, till the rivers of life have run through
Every night no inner fight, when you're treating me so right
When I'm down, in a bad mood, your smile can make things good
It is magic, but it's true, that I could only be in love with you

When it's cold and dark outside, we'll fight us to the morning light
Tears will be there, and we might lose some hair
But trust on me, you've got me where you want me to be
When I'm young, when I'm old, it's you I want to hold

Oh, your smile will always be there and hand in hand in our rockin chair
When the wine slips too soon to our headd, we will just drink tea instead
Then I'll whisper, yes I'll do, that I'm still head over heals with you
When we're old one day, I wish you're still on my way
Oh your love, you're care, I need it everywhere
Let it be, let it stay, keep the promise of love in our days

 

Felt Like Heaven


Help me, help me I'm lost
Help me, help me to find
You, you are someone I can believe
You, you'll understand that I must leave

Show me, show me the way
Show me, show me the day
Here, there is a night that won't go by
Here, I feel that every hope will die

Chorus:
And dreams, oh I have dreamed so much, a vision that won't go
I have seen my home, it felt like heaven, those happy faces glow
Never I feel the pain, when I dream from life away
Do you think it 'd mean something or will it pass away, never reaches the day

Hope is, hope is a word
Hope is just, hope is just a word
Here where every castle's made of sand
Here where emptiness will always hold your hand

Chorus:

Help me, help me I'm lost
Help me, help me to find
You, you are someone I can believe
You, you'll understand that I must leave

 

It's Summer


There is some sound calling, calling out my name
There is some smell going, to find his own sweet way
There is some hope coming, in a sunshine smile
It's summer in the country, it's summer for a while

And the birds don't sing, like they did before
It's more joyful and more lovely, it gives a little more
And the wind is gently breathing cross the land
And my love she holds my hand

Chorus:
Oh, it's summer, it's written in the air
I have waited for so long and now it's there
Don't you feel it too, the world seems new
Now the sun says I love you

Now the fish is jumping happy in the sea
And the flowers in the canyon are a peaceful sight to see
I get on my knees to write symbols in the sand
Oh how I wish this life won't soon end

Chorus:

When the evening falls we sit around the fire
And I sing some songs with friends in great desire
My heart it burns with love I couldn't find
The rain left it behind

Chorus:

 

The Wind Sings The Song


Follow the sun, though it sometimes seems gone
Life is a path I will help you along
Laughter is shining and you have that smile
You'll have the strength to walk on every mile

Rainbows of hope, oceans of fear
Words fall like rain, choose what to hear
Every day wants you to understand
Search in your heart for you must make your stand

Chorus:
You, you are the light in my eyes, you are the beat of my heart
You are the music I write, you are the rhymes in my life
You are the reason I fly, you are with me you belong
And I'll make you strong, learn life's song
The wind sings the song, the wind sings along

Mountains are high and you'll learn to see
Some things you cross, some let it be
Don't lose the fire, don't lose your way
Trust on a flower and grow through the days

Chorus:

Love is the key, and when it's lost count on me
Through the pain, what you are reaching for seems in vain
Just believe, that life can change like colors on a leaf
Like the moon, it stays the same, but shows different tunes, try to play the tunes

Laughter is shining and you have the smile
You'll have the strength to walk on every mile

Chorus:

It whispers along...life's song

 

Terribly Wrong


This is the picture of my good old home, my mam, my dad, my family, my own
They all died to young in old Germany, 1944 is still shaking in me

Still shaking in me, the nightmares remain, the mem'ries you can't block away
The fear, the heartaches, the sorrow, the pain, still living in each of my days

I've done jobs in the city, behaved like a man, I'd cherish my freedom, I've done what I can
Blood, sweat and tears, it cost to go on, my wife and my children, they made me this strong

They made me this strong, believe that I'm right, believed in me days and cold nights
They made me believe that a fool 'd become strong, that just something was terribly wrong

Something was terribly wrong then, but all of sudden, the circle begins again
Cries in the papers, slams on the walls, "this isn't your land fool,'someone just called

Someone just called and broke me again, hate is seems can't die in men
My family was murdered, and lots and lots more, hopelessly praying and crying;"What for?"
Then people in freedom swore "never again, all human are equal, it won't happen again"
The promise has died, it wouldn't last long and it breaks in me, aches now the circle goes on
Life should be a gift, but here I don't belong, I swear, something is terribly wrong

 

Moonlight


Moonlight in the night, moonlight in the sky above
Could you send a sign of love, could you shine a time ?
Moonlight in the night, moonlight do you know that there
are plenty people losin friends and lovers everyday

Could you send a light to those afraid to feel ?
Could you send a light to souls that cannot heal ?

Could you make them dream, a dream that takes them far away
To see the other side of day, shining like your light
Could you make them dance, with the stars up in the sky ?
Make them sing a lullaby, a poem they won't forget

Could you help them in their endless fight ?
Could you be a beacon in their night

Moonlight in the night, moonlight in the sky above
Could you send a sign of love, could you shine a time ?
Moonlight in the night, moonlight do you know that there
are plenty people losin friends and lovers everyday

Could you send a light to those afraid to feel ?
Could you send a light to souls that cannot heal ?

 

Feel The Sun


Chorus:
Feel the sun, smell the sky, it's the time to say goodbye
to the cry and the teardrop in your eye
Feel the heat, love is sweet, what else could make life complete ?
Our song could only sing and dance along

Are you the one that's on his way, and forget to live the day
For there are far to many questions washed away
And forgot that you're alone, cause you did all on your own
Feel what's love, feel the things you've never known

Chorus:

Are you the one who'll always seek, and look further every week
Watch a new and see the things you have in reach
Cause the things you yearn to find are not always far behind
Look around, enjoy the freshness in your mind

Chorus:

And Mr. blue, well look at you, rather see the dark side too
Only grumbling bout the things the world can do
Don't you see how life can be, that it's sometimes heavenly
See the mountains, see the lovers and the rainbow on the sea

Chorus:

 

By And By


Now the moon is softly shining and I lay down to rest
The wind whispers silently the mem'ries from the past
A heartache that was burnin, but smiles and good friends too
Life's ocean is a broken heart and thousand dreams come true

My family here's to you, you have showed me you are friends
You followed me wherever I went through
I thank you for your patience, that you try to understand
I'm a stranger lost in visions, I'm a song that never ends

But I feel that I'm growing, forever on my way
Forever thinking how it's been and how to live next day
From the city to the windsong, from the mountains to the sky
To a home where I belong, I will get there by and by

My friend in times of sadness you have been my only light
You made me sure the gift of love can put all pains aside
That money makes not happy, that houses don't mean homes
That when you share and when you care, you're never all alone

Like the spirit that can bind us, I have always prayed to be
A friend who makes the hopeless children see
There's a dream for tomorrow and things to cast aside
Don't give up when your sun is down, we'll hold eachother tight

And just feel that we are growing, forever on our way
Forever feeling hands that hold you, to a brand new day
From heart to heart through emptiness, from love to love through cold
From face to face to fly away, from young to growing old
From the city to the windsong, from the mountain to the sky
To a home where we belong, we will get there by and by
