A Secret Glance
05:46
|
|||
|
Darkness and dreams drawn from the stars
Reflecting what felt good and what was right
Thoughts get lost among the echoes of the night
Makes you wonder how you’ve got so far
Watching movies and old photographs
I clearly recognize the girl who laughs
at the prospect of the hopes and dreams
that would help to shape her self esteem
Some moments we want to fall in a trance
Forever we long to stay
But we're driven by an inner tide
Soon all that’s left is a secret glance
If I could meet that girl
Would I take her by the hand
And guide her through the perils of this land
Or would I tell her that the castles of her dreams
are built on driftwood and on sand
Or would I just step back
and watch her make her stand
Would I take her by the hand
or watch her make her stand
Some moments we want to fall in a trance
Forever we long to stay
But we're driven by an inner tide
Soon all that’s left is a secret glance

Chalkhill Blues
04:58
|

|
It's gonna be a clear blue day
I'm gonna run up that hill and stay
Run around in circles on the top
Before night falls I ain't gonna stop
I walk up Eagle Road
Leave behind my heavy load
Morning rises from the night
Climbing above the city lights
I'm gonna feast the day
No way it's gonna stay
I’ll stop looking for clues
and dance with the chalkhill blues
I was looking for the bigger picture
and ended up with a random mixture
What I have now will be gone tomorrow
Can't afford the time for fear and sorrow
I'm gonna feast the day
No way it's gonna stay
I’ll stop looking for clues
and dance with the chalkhill blues
I'm gonna feast the day
No way it's gonna stay
I’ll stop looking for clues
and dance with the chalkhill blues

Two Of A Kind
05:07
|
|||
|
We started out as two of the same kind
Dreamers like us you wouldn't ever find
Together we covered a lot of ground
Sometimes you envied, sometimes you mocked at
whatever I had found
You would
Never compromise on dreams
Go ahead and do it
Go ahead and make it
May it be as hard as it seems
In the end it’d be you who would take it
You went up like a hot air balloon
Headed for the stars with a stop on the moon
I was afraid of the fall, so I did not even try
Now it's not what I missed that makes me cry
I have lost what I knew since time out of mind
Split into ones what was two of the same kind
I would
Go with the flow of life
Not worry too much about where to go
but rather learn to be content with where I arrive
For deep inside there's always my very own show

Three White Flashes
05:36
|
|||
|
Setting off from my island
All the joy and sorrow escape my hand
I fail to see the green and gold and white
Nothing but dark lines in the night
The silhouette of a swing and a slide
Places where I used to hide
Adventures in a playground
Discovering secrets noone had ever found
Three white flashes tell me where I am
but lights growing dim over where we’ve been
The colour and the rhythm of the light
just guide us our way into the night
Three white flashes guide us in the night
Gently rocked by the lonely sea
Looking back there is nothing to see
Only touching the edge of the stars
why should it matter what we are
Three white flashes tell me where I am
but lights growing dim over where we’ve been
The colour and the rhythm of the light
just guide us our way into the night
Three white flashes guide us in the night

Lines In The Sand
06:06
|
|||
|
We took a walk together by the beach
We had never seen so beautiful a day
Wanted to grasp it tightly with our hands
But lines had already been drawn in the sand
You had already started to slip away
And would all so soon be forever out of reach
You were born with nothing but a cry
Now you wonder how to learn to fly
When you laugh at the sound of your feet in the waves
All I've ever been comes rushing over me
This is to live, this is to understand what's real
It will not last, but that's the deal
Creating our world every day
So unique and so new
That although forever we'd want to stay
We'll never return to what we once knew
You have already started to slip away
And will all so soon be forever out of reach
You were born with nothing but a cry
Now you wonder how to learn to fly

The Colour Of Happiness
04:57
|
|||
|
What is the colour of happiness?
What kind of feeling is blue?
Why does this place look so different
from what I remember of what I once knew?
What sound do we hear
at the speed of light?
Why is there much less space
During day than at night?
They say the mind can travel time
Then why doesn't matter obey the mind?
Or is that a question worth but a dime?
And are they just two of a kind?
When you find beauty first
is also when it starts to hurt
From the corner of your eye
you can see it fade away
It's a matter of faith
When you dare to wish it should stay
It’s the colour of happiness
This is the colour of happiness

When I don't long for anyone to call
Just watch the world and let it flow
Don't wonder where - just go
It feels like the world before the fall
When the most precious times of all
Blend into the fractals of a single moment
This is the end of memory's torment
This is the world before the fall

Coarbegh Speyer, Germany
Coarbegh was founded as a side-project of Poor Genetic Material, one of Germany’s best artrock bands. Since the release of their second album Dark Sky Reserve, Coarbegh has moved towards the territory of ambient music. Their truly original music is characterized by the tension that is created by the interplay of Philipp Jaehne's synthesizers and electronics and Pia Darmstaedter’s flute. ... more
