LOVE'S SEASONS When the bees are humming in the honeysuckle vine
 And the summer days are in their bloom,
 Then my love is deepest, oh, dearest heart of mine,
 When the bees are humming in the honeysuckle vine. When the winds are moaning o’er the meadows chill and gray,
 And the land is dim with winter gloom,
 Then for thee, my darling, love will have its way,
 When the winds are moaning o’er the meadows chill and gray. In the vernal dawning with the starting of the leaf,
 In the merry-chanting time of spring,
 Love steals all my senses, oh, the happy-hearted thief! 
In the vernal morning with the starting of the leaf. Always, ever always, even in the autumn drear,
 When the days are sighing out their grief,
 Thou art still my darling, dearest of the dear,
 Always, ever always, even in the autumn drear.

YOU WILL BE WILD You had your world carefully wrapped into dreams, yet now like buds in spring they burst open, again. and soon will become your real world, again. You are not here to sacrifice, there’s no one here you should admire. You will be wild, will break the ice! You are here to set the world on fire. In a dream you catch up on what you've always missed, for you came to be danced, to be loved, to be kissed. oh, how I wish I could be part of this dream, so please, please, please, let me in! What a powerful dream you fought for inside of you! Don't be afraid that one day it might suddenly come true! Oh, I want to be a warrior for your dream, so please, my dear, let me in! You are not here to sacrifice, there’s no one here you should admire. You will be wild, will break the ice! You are here to set the world on fire. Such a beautiful dream may outwit reality, but will never promise you its infinity. I want to hold you up so you can live your dream, oh, please, my love, let me in! So now fly high, as high as you did in your dreams! And what you thought what really happened each day, You only will see from afar, anyway. You are not here to sacrifice, there’s no one here you should admire. You will be wild, will break the ice! You are here to set the world on fire. You are not here to sacrifice, there’s no one here you should admire. You will be wild, will break the ice! You’re also here to set a man like me on fire.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT I look at you, you look at me, your eyes seem like a mirror to me. I see the many folds in my face. And like in a clairvoyant’s mysterious bowl I see hidden nooks of my soul. You don't need to talk to me, just keep on looking like that at me, I can already hear your soft, beguiling voice, see glimmering landscapes of breathtaking size. Such magic is caused by your eyes. When you look at me, when you look at me like that, then I start to hop and jive. When you look at me, when you look at me like that, then I feel that I'm alive. I love the way you look at me: As if you are about to talk to me or have already set about seducing me. Right now, to be perfectly honest with you, I just love to be loved by you. When you look at me, when you look at me like that, then I start to hop and jive. When you look at me, when you look at me like that, then I feel that I'm alive then I know that I’m alive ’cause with you I am alive.

I CLOSED MY SWEETHEART'S EITHER EYE Lyrics "Ich halte ihr die Augen zu" originally written by German poet Heinrich Heine, first published in "Neue Gedichte" (Hoffmann & Campe. Hamburg 1844). Translation/poetic adaptation "I closed my sweetheart's either eye" by American poetess Emma Lazarus, first published in "Poems and Ballads by Heinrich Heine" (Hurst & Company. New York 1881). I also set another of Heinrich Heine's poems to music. And I recorded it twice: once in the original German and once in English. For this, as with "Ich halte ihr die Augen zu (I closed my sweetheart's either eye)", I used the English adaptation by Emma Lazarus. Both recordings of the song can be found in my albums "Frisch aus der Küche" ("My heart is heavy") and "Luftschloss • It Feels Like Coming Home" ("Mein Herz ist mir bedrückt").

BLUE EAGLE AND RED KITE I knew a girl in the hills wearing feathers in her hair singing songs of praise and wisdom dancing ’round and around dancing wild alluring and gracefully bare I knew that girl in the hills signs of wings up her skin singing songs of love and freedom dancing ’round and around dancing wild making love to her was no sin I had to leave the hills, betray our love she smiled knowingly, started to pray the Great Spirit spoke to her over night and in the morning she woke up by a screaming Red Kite She saw the Kite in the sky the signs of wings up her skin became strong and she took off to fly so now an Eagle circles round circles wild she's reveling new life’s begin Fly, Eagle, fly the Great Spirit told you last night Fly, Blue Eagle, fly to make your dreams come true of strength and love and Mother Earth’s delight For now I’m back in the hills a shiver runs down my skin no-one’s singing, no-one’s dancing but an Eagle and a Kite circle wild devoured in love that ain't no sin Fly, Eagle, fly circle ’round beside the Red Kite Fly, Blue Eagle, fly to make your dreams come true of strength and love and Mother Earth’s delight Fly, Sweetheart, fly trust my wingspan by your side Fly, my loved one, fly we’ll fulfill our prophecy: „Blue Eagle and Red Kite“ (dedicated to Coco Nella, the Blue Eagle)

I WOULD MUCH RATHER... Come on, come on, my love, we will saddle our white horses, together let’s ride the dream, which a very source of our life is. A posh racing car for my love and me would certainly be a possibility, but I would much rather travel with her in a rattletrap on the way to the sea. A busy bank account for my love and me another of many possibilities, but I would much rather live with her in unconditional love without hidden fees. Oh, come on, come on, my love, we will saddle our white horses, together let’s ride the dream, which a very source of our life is. A gilt canopy bed for my love and me yet another of many possibilities, but I would much rather sleep with her in the grass under fragrant jasmine trees. if you really love your beloved, the circumstances do not matter if we came back to our senses and slow down again, material world would not hold shares in us, then life itself would be so much better. Come on, come on, my love, we will saddle our white horses, together let’s ride that dream which a very source of human life is.

WHY SHOULDN'T I? There’s so many kinds of love, so many ways to define love but I don’t care! Might have changed in a week or two does that invalid any truth of what I feel now? Why shouldn’t I say what I feel about you? Why shouldn’t I show how I feel about you? There’s only one way to feel love.

That’s why I say: I love you. That’s why I say now: I love you.

THE OWL AND THE BEE AND THE DESERT MAN how to go on when everything is gone in the darkness you won’t notice the sun how to walk through the woods when the paths are overgrown how to go on when everything is gone just follow the owl and you will walk on how to go on when everything is dry when blossoms have faded you won’t hear them sigh how to boost your soul on the edge of a withered margin how to go on when everything is dry just follow the bee for the nectar so high how to go on when everything is dust when rivers dry up you won’t crack the crust how to find the fountain of youth in your gracious life how to go on when everything is dust just follow the desert man to oasis’s lust sometimes life leads you straight through a somber glen then follow the owl and the bee and the desert man
