Another day in paradise

she was sweet, she was gentle, she was kind

sometime ago, a raging fire, a source of love

another day in paradise

good things grow, but never last

in the dusty sands of love

there was a change, our love grew lazy

things started to fade, love was an escape

she was sweet, she was gentle, , she was kind

she was all that, sometimes a raging fire

a source of love

we were just another day in paradise

Sweet, gentle, quiet smile

I met her somewhere with her sweet gentle quiet smile

when I saw her, something shifted inside, I fell in love

with someone whom I knew, would never be by my side

so,...when I left, I said goodbye to that sweet, gentle, quiet smile

promising myself, I would never reveal to her what lived inside

now,...many years later, I thought that sweet gentle quiet smile

would have faded out of my heart and my life, still how hard

I tried, she never left, she's still with me, until,... I guess, the end

of my times.

There was thunder

a woman can kill
with so much
as a breath of love

a woman can kill
with a look
love with an embrace

cry in the shade
a woman can kill
with so much

as a gentle touch
feel the coldness
of her arms
see the chill in her eyes

the hate when she smiles
still she speaks of love
wich she promissed
but easily forgot

whatever the reason
took her love
it wasn't completely lost
like a disease some of it

never leaves
a faint feelin' remains
disturbin' in fact
'cause it doesn't rest

always a stir
a movement is there
she knows it all too well
it leaves her in despair

'cause strong the hate
it's done in passion
love its name

she came in for the kill
loved so deeply
couldn't afford it

her strenght weakening
close to totall surrender
there was thunder

Solid ground

she was there an' she shook me
she was there an' she took me
she promissed me a gentle storm
she promissed me her smile
and swept away my solid ground

so when I left her for the breaking of light
I left her gentle darkness. I left her velvet
touch, and.. I knew I'd come again, maybe..
on solid ground I'd even stay
