the rain pours down in sheets
and the sky is gray
the sun just won’t come out
and it’s been like this for days

what if Noah had been here
and said he spoke to God
what if Noah had been here
to warn about the flood

now I’m a disbeliever
but he just might be right
it has rained and poured before
forty days and forty nights

what if Noah had been here
and said he spoke to God
what if Noah had been here
to warn about the flood

Noah did like God commanded
and built a gopher wooden ark
God said He'd wipe away
the earth as He had made it -

no one cared to hark

one pair of each creature
invited high and dry
both male and female
so that they could multiply

well, if Noah had been here
I would kick him in the shin
cause if Noah had been here
he just would not let me in

you had a thing with water
you took me out to sea
you had a thing with legends
you had a thing for me

I used to have a vision
I used to hide my tears
I cried you an ocean

with a shell to my ear

well, it’s been a few days now
so how have you been
not that I must know
what state you’re in

I should care less

well, I just bawled my eyes out
and feel really relieved
not that I threw up enough
to fully retrieve

I’m still a mess

but what really helps a lot
is the knowledge that it’s nothing
but the time it takes
you gave me meals for thought
and Robin a laughing break
how quickly will he
re-enter the lists?
don’t correct me if I’m wrong
I’m sure that grudge exists
(especially his…)
and that mine
will make a brilliant song

well, lately I have not been
that close with time
the weekends seem the worst
ever since they’re all mine

it’s hard to get through

well, congratulations -
you entered the Torture Top 3
and by the way
already not happy anniversary

here’s to you and your cool
here’s to me and my catch-22

now what really helps a lot
is the knowledge that it’s nothing
but the time it takes
you gave me meals for thought
and Robin a laughing break
how quickly will he
re-enter the lists?
don’t correct me if I’m wrong
I’m sure that grudge exists
(especially his…)
and that mine
will make a brilliant song

now what really helps a lot
is the knowledge that it's nothing
but the time it takes
it is funny - not at all
half as funny as to call me
Robin by mistake
he will re-enter the lists
don't correct me if I'm wrong
I'm sure that grudge exists
(especially his…)
and that mine
will make a brilliant song

a brilliant song

for Martine

life wasn't easy
Belle would confide
you couldn't stop crying
when Patrick had died

the story continues
at the microphone stand
family dramas
with no happy end

I remember
picture perfect
a few summers back now
a field in the sun
the six of us out there
tarot and tequila
who could've known then
you'd be the one

the doctor was staggered
he showed you the scans
the cancer had come back
all over again

last week on Friday
when you closed your eyes
you said you could feel it
you said it felt nice

I remember
picture perfect
a few summers back now
a field in the sun
the six of us out there
tarot and tequila
who could have known then
you'd be the one

you were the one

so spring never came
no need to digress
it is what it is
this too shall pass

now summer has gone
you need a new plan
before you know
it’s winter again –

all over again

you'll be alright
I know for a fact
just look at the twins
remember the pact

and then there's this blonde
still a bit tanned
maybe it’s time now
you’d let go of his hand

go on…

I peek at you in secret
I ignore you just in time
I giggle like a schoolgirl
I convince you that I'm fine

I’d do anything and more
to make you mine

I curse your taste in lovers
I judge your lack of spine
I put you down in public
I manipulate, malign

I’d do anything and more
to make you mine

I don’t want to make you feel bad
but it's true
there is no one
who can make me feel this good

no one else but you

I'll stop giving signals
I'll start reading signs
I'll stop being selfish
I'll step back in line

but I'll sing you these love songs
until you're mine

just a perfect day
for this time of year
we're making away
with right in the rear
an Indian Summer sun, red

Berlin ahead

the sky so pretty
through the open roof
and I so witty
your laughter, my proof
all your glee

through your hand on my knee

the memory's alive tonight
the driver's seat feels quite alright
and I don't know what it is
but I think I could get used to this

the lamppost lights
are a canopy of stars
but you on my right
you light up the car
the road and me

your hand on my knee

more on than off
it distracts my pedal foot
as we fall in love
with Parachutes

yeah, we do –
yeah, we do

the memory's alive tonight
the driver's seat feels quite alright
and I don't know what it is
but I think I could get used to this

I am aware and sad somehow
this is here
this is now
I just love to be in
this state we're in
right before we take Berlin

we’re moving too fast
let’s take another five
I’d really like to last
this six hour drive
a few hours more
snacks and gas galore

don't tell me you don't feel it, too
