Autumnblaze - Lighthouses Album Lyrics

The Cat With The Silvery Paws

Roads, these roads are clad in smoke
Your talks are drifting past like trains - they scarcely stop
Now I'm gone astray in here
Where tired walls are chattering...... Don't stay! Don't stay!

... and all the ones around me are fainting shapes again

Fear has shut away your dreams
You walk towards a smokescreen, fretful tool

I start to sing a song about the cat with the silvery paws
She plays with starry blades of grass and dreams her little life away
I wonder where I am - under the snow in a sunday cloak
But you just say I'd think too much
Maybe you're right - who will ever know?

Wake Me Up In The Evening

Tell me how long I've been waiting for
a wake-up call late in the evening
Tell me where I've been so many times
Close to the distance here in my sleeping room ...

... I'm freezing ... here

Tell me why the ghosts always frighten me
Back to the caves of my childhood I ever run

... but still I'm freezing ...

Wake me up in the evening
When landscapes are covered with a dark blue film
Wake me up in the evening
When noises scream and shivers rise

Moving little nightmares
Rumours of shivering cries
and a minor road swirling and creeping towards its slow end!

Man On A Lighthouse Mountain

O, how I'm longing for you
But I know, your heart goes for the blue
O, so hard to let you flow
Into the sea, your window is closed for me

Leave the man on the lighthouse mountain
He never fell in love
He don't know he could miss a woman's glowing kiss

O, how I'm longing for blue
But I feel, there's something completely new
O, my heart is trembling shy
I doubt again, but I must say goodbye

Leave the man on the lighthouse mountain
He never felt her tender breath
His helpless eyes, they do not miss
Just staring through the ocean's bliss

Towards The Oldest Silence

Years ago I saw a waveless ocean
Far and great, beyond everything I knew
Nights were glowing, the days too long
For a young man's dreamland and his fancy-song

We lay together on summer-meadow islands
Amazing eyes turned towards the oldest silence
We tried to catch a glimpse of our past
Our primal sea, so deep and vast

All I know, a black hole's coming closer
Hold me on, I fear the nightmare's drowning me

If I dreamed of my most precious moment
I would point at the sparkling waveless ocean

All I know, a black hole's coming closer
Hold me on, I fear the nightmare's drowning hand

All I knew, a fever burned within me
Hold me on, I hope it never comes again
