I am
I killed a man today
he’s kind of hurt but he’s okay
That is just like me
I kill easily
just like one, two, three
’Cause I would rather knock him dead
than have him playing in my head
and I know that song
yes, I know that song
I want to tell you
that there’s something in you
that is glowing in the dark
don’t go wasting all that spark
don’t go wasting all that spark
don’t go wasting all that spark
You know that half of me is here
the other half is numb with fear
baby that’s no lie
look into my eyes
and I would rather not let it start
than have you playing with my heart
and I hear that song
tell me I am wrong
now I do things I don’t normally use to
but I get so scared to lose you
and I wouldn’t let you stay
if you didn’t know my name
if you didn’t know my name
if you didn’t know my name
you always make me smile when I see you
but I never see you
and I can’t be sure quite yet
but I think you got the warmest heart I ever met
you got the warmest heart I ever met
you got the warmest heart I ever met
Know my ups and know my downs
release me from this crown
(and I’m doubting and doubting you you you
but really I am doubting me)
and then you go and do something of you
make me so proud of you
make me forget all my fears
that have been with me all these years
that have been with me all these years
and the rain was pouring down
and the night was cold and damp
snow was in the air
and I saw his friendly face
as the light from the trains grew stronger
and he said: ”I really like the way you sing
but I just can’t recall your name, please tell me once again”
and I told him there and then, I said:
”You don’t know my name
but I don’t know who I am
I don’t know who I am
I don’t know who I am
I don’t know who I am
I don’t know who I am
I don’t know who I am
I don’t know who I am

Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday sky
Tall and blue
I don't believe in God
I believe in you
Your weakness
Your strength
Your heart
Your hands
Your hands
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are
Little Armies (A Hymn)
Hold me like a child that’s always running wild
Again
This slow sensation
It’s almost luminous
Sun, shine on us
Like a ray of light
You give birth to me each night
And in the factories
Workers piled up to their knees
Sun, shine on me
Bye, bye lullaby
Close those clear blue eyes
In the schools
Children piled up two by two
Little armies, doing good for you
Paris
When at last I saw Paris
Some kind of light would glow from it
Green leaves as far as mine eyes could see
I don’t know why this is happening to me
Will you or will you not come with me?
Leave the city behind and come with me
I wouldn’t take me this far to get back again
Gimme some flowers and let them go all away
All the way
My Friend, My Friend
West on wind
Over land a liaison
Between sunshine and a lifting bird’s water trails
Making a rainbow
I saw an old general by the water side
In a parallel dimension he was you
At the same time looking and longing
Beyond the horizon
And making conversation too
Hold up with arming your forces
He died of natural causes…
And the sea was breathing
And I thought that there were cars
I counted them in fish net stars
While you told me
You said: ”I can’t always be here
But I’ll keep your smile inside”
Now don’t you want more than my pride
And don’t you want to be my friend, my friend
And always help me, baby
Deep inside I know it’s not the end
’cause I have seen you, baby
Once I thought that I had seen you dead
It almost killed me
Where’s your decency, my friend, my friend
I’m only here ’til you talk to me
