Sweet Morning Light

Sweet morning light
Sweet morning light
Sun shinin’ bright
On everything inside

Green is the grass
Winter has passed
No sign of cloud
Wanna shine out loud

That I love to live
And I live to love in the
Sweet morning light

Sun in my eyes
Is my sweet surprise
Now life of lies
Or black disguise

Good lord of life
And precious sight
Keep out the storm
Try to keep me warm

‘Cause I love to live
And I live to love in the
Sweet morning light

Lonely Ship

Where, oh where shall I look my love
Where in the world
To find a thousand battle ships
With all their flags and furl

Will the will of life for me today
Can a log so sadly sink
Of the love we found and cast away
That was my everything

I’m not saying that I’ll die for you
I’m not saying that I long
What I mean is I will look for you
For it’s you who has my soul

Far, so far into the empty night
My lonely ship will sail

Where there’s life
There must be love
In this world and the next
And paths along which lovers walk
Whom happiness returns

My Dream

In my dream I saw ahead
Another thousand years
I saw the vision of a world in fear
In my dream

And I saw the battle at
The whole world lost
And left no-one to sit
And count the cost
In my dream

But my head was flying high
Above the tired strife
I saw beyond
The actual waste of life
In my dream

Slowin' Down

I feel I’m slowin’ down
Left here to die
On the ice cold ground
I’ve had my share of trouble
And all the misery around

I got one day left to live
Nothing left to give
Take my soul, I’m slowin’ down

I just can’t stay around
I’ve been abused
And I’m leavin’ town
I’ve had my share of trouble
With sorrow followin’ me around

I’ve seen fightin’, people dyin’
Politicians lyin’
Take my soul, I’m slowin’ down

Before I Die

Let me see one summer
Before I die
Free my heart from weary fortune
Let me see the light
With the stars at night
With not of deserving
These clouds at its side
Before I die

Bring no tales of hidden meaning
Please don’t speak to me of war
These are things my heart rejected
Oh, forever, never
Never cause me pain again
Before I die

What’s the use of a life without love
With our love is everything
There’s no place for it here or above
Yes, love is everywhere

Oh, before I die
