Another Sky 06:42
lyrics

(traduction francaise en dessous ;-) I see the light shine on your face I watch your eyes light up with grace It’s up to me... to keep your sky pure, crystal clean just like the dawn when you were born- seemed like a dream... It’s up to me to stand and fight and carry on, and on, and on; to save this earth I took for granted for so long. Or you will grow to take my place when nothing’s left- I’m so ashamed for you to have to see Another Sky for you to have to dream Another Sky. You walk beneath a thousand stars that light the path to who you are if you can see with open eyes: your world’s alive- we live as one- when One is All then you’ll be free... It’s up to you to stand and fight and carry on, and on, and on; The wisdom learnt from my mistakes will make you strong. Or you will grow to take my place when nothing’s left- I’m so ashamed for you to have to see Another Sky for you to have to see Another Sky for you to have to dream Another Sky EN FRANCAIS: La lumière éclaire sur ton visage des yeux émerveillés et pleins de grace ça ne tiens qu’à moi... de garder ton ciel aussi enchanté que celui de l’aube ou tu est née, come dans un rêve c’est à moi de me battre et de tenir, de sauver cette terre si longtemps salie par mon âme d’égoïste ou tu grandiras pour prendre ma place quand il ne restera plus rien j’ai honte de te laisser un autre ciel j’ai honte de te léguer un autre ciel tu te promènes sous un tapis d’étoiles qui te guideront dans les couloirs de ton âme- acceptes les à coeur ouvert: ton monde qui vibre nous unira et tu seras libre c’est à toi de te battre et de tenir la sagesse apprise de mes faux pas te rendra forte ou tu grandiras pour prendre ma place quand il ne restera plus rien j’ai honte de te laisser un autre ciel que tu ais à rêver d’un autre ciel.

A Touch In the Dark 05:10
lyrics

traduction FRANCAISE plus bas ;-) Well fires rage inside my troubled heart when words are so hard to find to shake the doubts that grind between two souls that love has bound. Trapped inside a shell of truths so different from the ones we tell in hope that others will believe only the ones we want them to believe. So hold me tight, but don’t ask me why, don’t ask me why I need you tonight, your touch in the dark will make things allright Well, lover, I hear you In sounds so true that only fingers can say- Your touch on my burning skin calms the flames within and shows me the way. Strange how I hear you now that my eyes are closed, hidden in the dark. Your love is so clear that all my fears soon dissapear. So hold me tight, but don’t ask me why, don’t ask me why I need you tonight, a touch in the dark will makes things allright A touch in the dark will make things allright… EN FRANCAIS: L’incendie rugit Dans mon coeur troublé quand les mots sont si dure à trouver Pour apaiser les doutes qui font rage Entre deux âmes enlacés par l’amour. Coincé dans une cellule de verités Si differentes que celles que nous racontons En espérant que les autres n’entendront Que celles que nous voulons qu’ils entendent… Alors serre moi fort Mais ne me demande pas pourquoi, ne me demande pas pourquoi J’ai tant besoin de toi ce soir, Ta caresse dans le noir Eclipsera mon desespoir… Mon amour, je t’entends Dans des sons si vrais Que seules les doigts peuvent raconter- Ta caresse sur ma peau brulante Apaise les braises Et me montre le chemin… C’est étrange comme je t’entends Maintenant que mes yeux sont fermés, Cachés dans la pénombre- Ton Amour est si clair Qu’il fait disparaître toutes mes craintes… Alors serre moi fort Mais ne me demande pas pourquoi, ne me demande pas pourquoi J’ai tant besoin de toi ce soir, Ta caresse dans le noir Eclipsera mon desespoir…

Le Somnambule 04:02
lyrics

Si mes nuits parlent de toi c’est que chaque soir je dois t’inventer d’avantage- Si tu n’existes pas, dans mes songes, ton visage s’éveille plus fort à moi… et je tourne sur moi même en incrédule; seul, dans mes rêves je révèle le Somnanbule… C’est pour te retrouver que je dors sans arrêt, assommé de cachets et j’ai l’éternité pour encore te rêver, pour tout recommencer… et je brûle, sur les braises, je me consume… Quand je suis face à face, je retrouve en double dans la glace des yeux morts qui n’attendent plus que le sommeil pour relever le Somnanbule… Dans mes nuits agitées j’ai toutes les libertés de cinglé, de sauvage, mais si je reste entier c’est aussi pour prouver que je suis de passage… et je tremble à l’idée de lâcher… Quand je suis face à face, je retrouve en double dans la glace des yeux morts qui n’attendent plus que le sommeil pour relever le Somnanbule… Quand je suis face à face, je retrouve en double dans la glace des yeux morts qui n’attendent plus que le sommeil pour réveiller le Somnanbule.

Higher 06:40
lyrics

The storm rages in my mind, I think I’m going blind… My demons rule the night While my muse cowers in fright. And doubts tear apart A futur built on dreams; It’s hard to keep the faith amongst the screams…. So I seek shelter from the storm And I come into your room; As I see you there, peacefully asleep the truth calls out to me… I close my eyes and listen to you… your breath fills the silence with peace… You take me Higher… I close my eyes And the voice is crystal clear… Your breath frees a truth I need to hear… You take me Higher… You take my breath away, You turn me inside out, You teach me how to fly High above the clouds… You take me Higher.

Naked and Chained 07:22
lyrics
buy track
The boys gather at the bar to laugh at what they’ve found, then she walks through the open doors and wrestles them to the ground; Promises are made in haste beneath the covers of a sheet…And a face. In the early light of a tired dawn I learned your name. You leave me naked, oh, Naked and Chained. You leave me naked, oh, Naked and Chained. Outside the doors the girls walk by a dime a dozen to the shout; I thought I had all their tricks and their promises figured out. She leaves behind a pair of earrings, a dress, and a ring…Just simple things, but the longer I keep, the less I sleep, all I feel is pain. You leave me naked, oh, Naked and Chained. You leave me naked, oh, Naked and Chained. I find my way beneath her touch, she doesn’t understand how much I trust a single word to a lonely mind becomes divine… To free myself from her gentle touch, I pull my hand away, but it doesn’t mean much it seems insane to like this pain you leave me Naked and Chained…

Mr and Mrs Fly 03:40
lyrics

Fly, hanging in the summer breeze, A family treat to meet His cousin Amélie… Next thing you know, They’re dancing on the floor, Not a care in the world anymore, Flying, Flying high in the sky Off to paradise To show you a piece of his dream. So darling, open the screen, Caribbean air set free, Close your eyes to see The true color of his dream. Fly, fifteen years down the line, Two monkeys hanging on a vine, Red hair ablaze we find In their eyes, your smiles, In their smiles, your love Bathing us from above… Thank you for keeping us high Mr & Mrs Fly…
