VON HERTZEN BROTHERS LYRICS

1. New Day Rising

There's hell to pay,
I'm on my way
Not a minute more to waste in this town
No time to say goodbye
You held me in your cabaret
Like a gimmick holding back your meltdown
For too long
I don't need a dime to save it for a rainy day 'Cause nothing here has value anymore
Oh no
When the candle is burning out
And I've got nothing left to save but my soul
New York is changing
I will be okay 'Cause we can't turn the wheel to the past
To fix the bad ideas that got out of control
New love needs making
I will be okay
Again
Escaping to the dawning red
I will break the chains and smash the windows
To a world
I see much brighter
My home
I believe what we see and go for it
I have never been into chasing rainbows
And so I move on 'Cause nothing here can satisfy my soul
When the candle is burning out
And I've got nothing left to save but my soul
New York is changing
I will be okay 'Cause we can't turn the wheel to the past
To fix the bad ideas that got out of control
New love needs making
I will be okay
Again
There's hell to pay
I'm on my way,
I'm on my way
Today

2. You Don't Know My Name

I'm careful with my every step
Determined what I wish upon a star
'Cause when you light a cigarette
I know you're lost in thought and off your guard
I don't need your little lips
to tell me I was trouble from the start
that's why
You got to let me closer
And closer
All the way
Still
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
And each day when I sleep
When I close my eyes
I feel like falling
into your dreams
I want to show you who the real life me is
Got to let you know who the real life me is
I want to show you who the real life me is
Got to let you know that the real life me is right
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
You don't know my name
And each day when I sleep
When I close my eyes
I feel like falling
I want to show you who the real life me is
Got to let you know who the real life me is
You will know my name

3. Trouble

You wait until
The air is still
Before you launch your overkill
No one thought you'd dare come back for more

You shoot to thrill
You've trained this skill
You put me through a burning mill
I get caught in corners, that's for sure

Silent steps

My heart is racing
My heart is racing so

I will bear
My despair
In my way
I don't want you here no more
I don't want you here no more
I'll just say
You will fail
Time and again
I don't want you here no more

You're insincere
Devoid of fear
Hiding till the coast is clear
Make no mistake, I've seen it all before

Our ghost appears
With a stream of tears
False like all the countless years
When no one knew you're vengeful to the core

Silent steps

I will bear
My despair
In my way
I don't want you here no more
I don't want you here no more
I'll just say
You will fail
Time and again
I don't want you here no more

Oh, you're so much trouble

I will bear
My despair
In my way
I'll just say
You will fail
Time and again
I don't want you here no more

You're causing me trouble

4. Black Rain

This pain
My pain
This pain I have to deal with every day
Black days
In black rain
I'm a wreck and bleeding toxins through my skin
Through my skin
I'm a wreck and bleeding toxins through my skins
It's been years ago since last heard your laughter
This road to hell was paved by me
It took those years to know the answer I've been after
I'm missing home
This pain
My pain
This pain I blame myself for every day
Someday
One day
Someday I might get clean and feel no shame
It's been years ago since I last heard your laughter
This road to hell was paved by me
It took those years to know the the answer I've been after
I guess I'm slow
Is there anyone at home?
In the place I used to call my own
Oh, I have to know if you're waiting for me
If you wait.

5. Hold Me Up

Im in the eye
of the storm
That left me high and dry
For you to hold me up
The heavy rain strated a landslide
A force that caused no harm
'cause you were open and co-operating
Im not the first to say it's alright
When thing's are falling apart
I get stuck and feel like suffocating
Yeah i've been around the world
And the world i see in you
Is quite out of the ordinary
I can't belive i found a girl
Who can turn my days around
Despite i'm always in the eye
of a strom
That leaves me high and dry
for you to hold me up
We met the rains along the coastside
and watched the oceans rise and fall
Ain't this how all things go?
Ain't this how all things go?
Yeah i've been around the world
And the world i see in you
Is quite out of the ordinary
I can't belive i found a girl
Who can turn my days around
Despite i'm always in the eye
of a strom
That leaves me high and dry
for you to hold me up
Yeah i've been around the world
And the world i see in you
Is quite out of the ordinary
I can't belive i found a girl
Who can turn my days around
Despite i'm always in the eye
of a strom
That leaves me high and dry
for you to hold me up

6. Love Burns

Glory days
At times I felt so hypnotized
I had
Eyes to see you
Skin to feel you
And my hopes were bright and high
I thought there could be
Someone else
but time has proven otherwise
So I greet you
And I treat you
as if everything was right
I float along with the evening's tide
Memories washing by
are like blindfolds on my eyes
blindfolds on my eyes
Love burns
Memories
oh memories
Hold me in your caring hands
Let me feel you
cause I need to
embrace your quicksand
Sayonara
Sayonara
Emptiness is all I have
I loved with no reason
out of key and
now I'm a lost man
I float along with the evening's tide
Memories washing by
are like blindfolds on my eyes
blindfolds on my eyes
Love burns
I hear your voice as I'm recalling all those memories
and I feel an undertow of solace climb my spine
Only a thought of you accepting my apologies
would start the healing of this burning in my eyes
I'm redeemed from you
I'm redeemed from you
When I settle my eyes to the present, which I could never rely on
How I needed you
Help me make up my mind about choosing a life so hard to decide on
I believe it's true
I believe it's true
Life is only a test of our gratitude
Either spit or smile on
I float along with the evening's tide
Memories washing by
are like blindfolds on my eyes
blindfolds on my eyes
Love burns

7. Dreams

I'd like to climb a mountain all the way up north
to kiss your pretty face by Niagara Falls
I'd like to see you naked before I get old
Together grow bald making fun of it all
Let it show
I know you'd love to see the Hanami in Japan
Admire New York as the liberty land
I'd take you to the sights of Maui and France
to spice things up I'd even learn how to dance on the pole
Instead I sit and write a melody
I'll dream it all up to a song for you and me
Singing feels like a remedy
Oh, how blessed I would be to have you as my girlfriend
I know it sounds like the same old song
dreams that I have right until we both sing along
and any thought that it could go wrong
Cut it down
Cut it down
Cut it down
We would tandem cannonball into the deep blue sea
and watch the sunrise where the dolphins feed
Trace our feet in the snow white sand
Look up at the stars holding each other's hand, yeah
Instead I sit and write a melody
I'll dream it all up to a song for you and me
Singing feels like a remedy
Oh, how blessed I would be to have you as my girlfriend
I know it sounds like the same old song
dreams that I have right until we both sing along
and any thought that it could go wrong
Cut it down
Yeah
Don't wake me up before it all becomes reality
What we dream about is how it's meant to be eventually
Instead I sit and write a melody
I'll dream it all up to a song for you and me
Singing feels like a remedy
Oh, how blessed I would be to have you as my girlfriend
I know it sounds like the same old song
dreams that I have right until we both sing along
and any thought that it could go wrong
Cut it down

8. Sunday Child

You're far away from home
under the cloudless skies of blue
Exploring the unknown
Holding a guiding light with you
You see a silver lining in every passing cloud
and in a pitch-dark silence your path is always found
You are a sunday child with adventure in your heart
and in the midst of trials you always know your part
You were meant to be
far away from home
Walk in the light
Exploring the unknown
to find me
I am the lighthouse keeper on the other side
and you may feel that my light is keeping you alive
I'll be there by the tower watching from afar
if the flare makes you blind and stops you where you are
You were meant to be
far away from home
Walk in the light
Exploring the unknown
to find me
You met me in a daydream - once before
You saw me as a sunbeam - to live for
I came without a warning - like a storm
and I left you with a calling - a resolve
You're far away from home
under the cloudless skies of blue
You were meant to be
far away from home
under the cloudless skies of blue
Exploring the unknown
Holding a guiding light with you

9. The Destitute

10. Hibernating Heart

It's the end of summertime,
We grew water from the earth,
Until it ran dry.

I knew it all the while,
This moment would arrive,
Ground is white now.

Autumn leaves have fallen,
And my heart is like a hibernating Romeo.

My roots remain unfrozen,
But all the birds have flown away,
Like you they can not stay.

And so, underneath the snow,
I dream about your warmth,
To wake me up.

Autumn leaves have fallen,
And my heart is like a hibernating Romeo.

My roots remain unfrozen,
But all the birds have flown away,
Like you they can not stay.

11. Long And Winding Road
