Rain

is there anything

I could have done

that morning

rain started to fall

it came to me overnight

and hit me by surprise

it caught me of guard

and I payed the price

as

I couldn't do anything

that morning

rain started to fall

the morning I lost my shine

it came to me overnight

and hit me by surprise

it caught me of guard

and I payed the price

so now

it has been raining

for so many years

and I'm running out of time

I wondered

when will the sun come out

and again make its shine 

part of my life

as I couldn't do anything

that morning

rain started to fall

it came to me overnight

and it hit me by surprise

it caught me of guard

and there was my shine

It's all we have

I'm very at ease, always am
when darkness is in reach, gently
she is in the night, with you there
at my side

you don't say anything, nothing at all
you don't have to, I know it all, just
lying there with you in the depth of
the night

I know, very strongly, here's where I live
here's where I belong, you're allways there
with me to share, without any regrets

it's all we have

Trash

trash at ev'ry corner, in ev'ry alley
just lying there, in heaps cans an' boxes
in anything

trash a kingdom with a king where he lives
in, where he digs in, will hold his wealth, rich
without sins

collector of things, his to have to hold to care
to sell anywhere, fortune it brings, fortune in
the streets

fortune in heaps, a pocket full o' green, a king
walks the streets, diggin' in his wealth, kickin'
up trash, trash to harvest

trash a solid bet, something always there
