@SONG: Cars & Cars
(Nits)

In the mirrors of this house
I've seen your face
A thousand times or more
In the corners of your room
I've seen your face
A thousand times or more

In the darkness of the town
I've seen the wheels a-turning
I'll be gone
In the darkness of your room
You've heard the wheels a-turning
I'll be gone
In

Cars & Cars
Cars & Cars going faster

In the mirrors of this house
I've seen your face
A thousand times or more
In the darkness of your room
You've heard the wheels a-turning
I'll be gone
In

Cars & Cars
Cars & Cars going faster


@SONG: Ting
(Nits)

I am waiting
At the bus stop
'TING TING'
With my girlfriend
She is pregnant
Like a raindrop
'TING TING'
And the donkey
And the bull
Are standing next to me
'TING TING'
'Here comes the rain'
'TING TING'
I am walking
With the blind man
I am talking
To the deaf man
'TING TING'
Here comes the rain
Here comes the bicycle
Here comes the girl
here comes the child
'TING TING'


@SONG: Soap Bubble Box
(Nits)

I saw a box in New York
Inside the MOMA
Clay pipe and cork
It's a soap bubble
It's a soap bubble

I saw a map of the moon
Cut out of camels
Tin spoon
It's a soap bubble
It's a soap bubble

He is walking very slow through
Manhattan

In the snow
Joseph Cornell

I saw an egg painted blue
Rhinestones in 4 rows of 2
It's a soap bubble
It's a soap bubble

BOX


@SONG: Fire in My Head
(Nits)

In a Swiss town by the lake
Fall down like a white snowflake
There's a fire in
A fire in my head

Roll on like a stone in a field
I've got a home but I've got no shield
There's a fire in
A fire in my head

Saint George and the Dragon fight
In a church by candlelight
There's a fire in
A fire in my head

All the birds in the waving tree
Look down and they sing for me
There's a fire in
A fire in my head

All the angels falling down
In the smoke above this town
There's a fire in
A fire in my head


@SONG: House on the Hill
(Nits)

I saw the house on the hill
It burned like a tree
In an endless night
Tell me river when the fire ends
Tell me fire where the river bends

I had a vision of my house
It turned into a flame
On the riverside
Tell me fire where the river bends
Tell me river when the fire ends

Tears are falling down
Like a river through a town
Where I saw the house on the hill

Something in my mind's eye said
I was afraid
Something in the late sky said
I was returning
Back into the river
Where I once had sailed
Back into the fire
Where I was not burning

I saw the house on the hill
It bloomed like a flower
In the summer rain
Tell me fire where the river bends
Tell me river when the fire ends


@SONG: Christine's World
(Nits)

On a sunday morning
The bus is stopping
At the espresso bar
She's stepping out
Into the light and disappears

Christine you're in a dream
Oh Christine

'I like to buy a postcard
Of the falls
And send it home
When he calls
I will keep it as a bookmark
For I keep forgetting all the words'

Christine you're in a dream
Oh Christine

On a sunday night
The bus is leaving
At the espresso bar
She sits behind the window
And waves 'goodbye'

Christine you're in a dream
Oh Christine


@SONG: Bus

@SONG: River
(Nits)

So many years
And the river flows down
So many
It is hard to count them
And so many years
I am standing there
On this stone bridge
Now
Like sand flows
Through my fingers
The water flows under me
So forgotten in the city smoke
So many years
I've tried to find a photograph
Taken somewhere here
It's a sad day
Sand through my fingers
Time
Same old river

Now
You
Smile


@SONG: Tree Is Falling
(Nits)

When I was a young boy
I was swimming in the river
Drinking the water
When I was young

When she was a young girl
She was diving in the water
Drinking the river
When she was young

Tree is falling
And I'm standing

I'm still living

When I was a young boy
I was living in the city
Watching the river
When I was young

When she was a young girl
She was walking through a wood
Picking the flowers
When she was young


@SONG: White Night
(Nits)

How many years I waited

How many years you walked

In my raincoat and my shoes

On a bright day

Like a white night


How many days I listened

How many days you talked

In my raincoat and my shoes

On a bright day

Like a white night


How many hours you wait

How many hours I walk

In your raincoat and your shoes

On a bright day

Like a white night


@SONG: All Or Nothing
(Nits)

Come back come back
To the house on the hill
Where the tree is falling
And I think I will

Come back come back
To the house anymore
Where the water is burning
And they knock on your door

When it's all or nothing
All or nothing for me
When it's all or nothing
It's all for me

She said
'The man in the street
Will break your heart
They try to mend it
But it falls apart'

Come back come back
To the house on the hill
Where the tree is falling
And I think I will


@SONG: Night Fall
(Nits)

He is counting all my footsteps
I am looking at my watch

Night Fall

See him walk
The somnambulist
He is counting all the trees

Night Fall

In the ponds and in the ditches
He is counting all
The ducks and swans

Night Fall

Whistle bird in the window
Lightbulb and the rising moon

Night Fall

It's the watch on the thin wrist
Of the somnambulist who walks

Night Fall

Night falls
Moon in heaven
He is dreaming of a park

Night Fall


@SONG: I Try
(Nits)

I tried to be afraid
But you said that it was too late
I tried to be alone
But you said that I wanted this home

I try I try I try

I try to be like you
But you never wanted that I
Wanted it too
But I try to be around
Somehow, sometime I was found

I try I try I try

I have seen mirrors black
In a room by the sea
When we came back
Sometimes it's a sunny day
You lift your head and walk away

I try I try I try

I tried to be afraid
But you said that it was too late
I tried to be alone
But you said that I wanted this home


@SONG: Yellow Boat
(Nits)

Here comes the yellow boat on the river
She is sleeping and I will leave her
Look at the yellow boat on the river
She is swimming and I will give her
Water to drink
Candles to light
I am walking home tonight
In the wind on the right corner
Flies

Look at the yellow boat on the river
She is swimming and I will leave her
Here comes the yellow boat on the river
She is diving and I will give her
'Give her'
Apples to eat
Wood to burn
Then she tells me when I turn
She will turn to stone and fall asleep
I will be a memory

Here comes the yellow boat in the night
She is turning off the light
Look at the river
Look at the moon
Sailing home on a windy night
Soon


@SONG: Saint Louis Avenue
(Nits)

On Saint Louis Avenue

There's something in the air

My heart beats like a hammer


On Saint Louis Avenue

Cathedral-bells and cars

Are singing when I meet her


'You came today ...

I am living

One day ahead of time'

She said


On Saint Louis Avenue

There's something in my head

I wish I could remember


On Saint Louis Avenue

A cloud fell on the street

It's so hard to find her
