Die Welt Dreht Sich Verkehrt First performance: Stella Jones - 1995
Das Leben wirft mich aus der Bahn Wenn du mich ansiehst Und dann deine Hand mich berührt Es macht sich auf und davon, von dem Moment an In dem dein Kuß mich verführt
Jede Norm ist mir egal Und der Wahnsinn wird normal
Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt Wird federleicht, und schwebt davon Gold und Platin sind nichts mehr wert Ich bin Millionär, wenn ich bei dir bin Lachen und Weinen vereint
Komm' mach aus mir einen Clown Du Akrobat ohne Seil Fliegt mit mir durch die Zeit Ein Haus aus Tagträumen bauen Wahrheit oder Betrug Kein Problem weit und breit
Jede Norm ist mir egal Und der Wahnsinn wird normal Wird normal...
(Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt) Wird federleicht, und schwebt davon Gold und Platin sind nichts mehr wert Ich bin Millionär, und leb' davon
Die alte Welt dreht sich verkehrt Wird federleicht Wenn ich bei dir bin Lachen und Weinen vereint

Song To The Siren Composer(s): Larry Beckett - Tim Buckley First release by: Tim Buckley - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me Sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks, For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
I am puzzled as the newborn child I am troubled at the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Should I lie with Death my bride? Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"

Purple Robe Composer(s): Odell McLeod Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers; and various other artists
There's a story so unkind in the Holy book we find And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore As He stood alone, forsaken on that day And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Words of truth that day were plain from the lips of Pilot came In this man I find no reason He should die But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away And this mighty river I may never see But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church And my River Of Jordan that will be
Verliebt In Dich Composer(s): Cheyenne Stone First performance by: Stone & Stone - 1995
Manchmal, wenn ich ratlos bin Und mein Glaube sich verirrt Tief in mir die Trauer brennt Jage nur hinter Träumen her Ist mein Leben endlos leer? Finde keinen Frieden mehr Sehnsucht schreit, Geborgenheit Doch du bist da neben mir
Hey!
Kennst du das Gefühl? Du bist allein und die Seele friert Mensch sein ist so schwer Traue Deinem Engel tief in dir Glaub' mir, ich steh' zu dir Du allein bist der Grund dafür Ich fühle dich nah, so nah bei mir Fängst alle meine Tränen auf
Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Erinnerung bleibt und erzählt von dir Allein du bist der Grund dafür
Angst, ich lass dich weiter ziehen Hab' dich oft genug erkannt Ich weiß, mir kann jetzt nichts passieren Trage ein Herz voll Licht in mir Stille Nacht, ich traue dir Für mich gibt es keine Zweifel mehr Kann dich niemals mehr verlieren Ein Traum wird wahr, nur mit dir
Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Erinnerung bleibt und erzählt von dir Allein du bist der Grund dafür
Du kannst meine Seele sehen All das Licht in ihr gehört nur dir
Oh... bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht Bin so verliebt in dich Bin so verliebt in dich

Song To A Seagull Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie - 1967 and multiple other artists
Fly silly seabird No dreams can possess you No voices can blame you For sun on your wings My gentle relations Have names they must call me For loving the freedom Of all flying things My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry
I came to the city And lived like old Crusoe On an island of noise In a cobblestone sea And the beaches were concrete And the stars paid a light bill And the blossoms hung false On their store window trees My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry
Out of the city And down to the seaside To sun on my shoulders And wind in my hair But sandcastles crumble And hunger is human And humans are hungry For worlds they can't share My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry
I call to a seagull Who dives to the waters And catches his silver-fine Dinner alone Crying where are the footprints That danced on these beaches And the hands that cast wishes That sunk like a stone My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry
Dreamin' Composer(s): Richard Abbot - Barry Woods
First performance by: Eddie Friel - 1995
Dreamin' Dreamin' on a silver sea of moonlight Magic fills the night Melodies alight, when I'm dreamin'
Dreamin' Dreamin' how I love this nowhere feelin' Round and round I go Shadows soft and low, when I'm dreamin'
You can sail on any ocean Dream an easy melody Moonlight magic shines so gently Moonlight magic harmony
Night time slips away in silence (Dreamin') And daylight steals across my silver sea And goodbye dreamin' in the moonlight (Goodbye) Sleepy wake up to reality
Lalala... Lala lala lala lala lalala... Lala la lala... Underneath the stars, dreamin'
Far away a blue horizon Driftin' on the midnight sea Moonlight magic shines so gently Moonlight magic harmony
(Dreamin') (Lala lala lala lala lalala...) Sleepy wake up to reality (Dreamin')
