1. Evermore Love (3:30) + PAROLES
The road to recovery is paved with good intentions
Tears are words from the soul that cannot be spoken
A medic told me that you’ll get better very soon
For sure I love you a little bit more every day
Life is made of ups and downs and even if the river flows
Sometimes it’s good to take a step back I’ll make your pain go away
Tears are words from the soul that cannot be spoken
A medic told me that you’ll get better very soon
For sure I love you a little bit more every day
For sure I love you a little bit more every day
For sure I love you a little bit more every day
Waiting for you in the hall, hope things will work out well
You’re stronger than you think, more loved than you know
For sure I love you a little bit more every day
For sure I love you a little bit more every day
It may be stormy now, but it never rains forever
Late at night we cross the line, sunshine love will splash in the air
For sure I love you a little bit more every day
2. Chasing Sun (3:30) + PAROLES
Bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky
Bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky
Angels scream when the golden night falls
No pain smoking that dope the Indian gave to me
Before dawn I was found on the floor
Singing with a strange shadow of a bird in the sky
bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky
I realise that illusion becomes so impure
Fighting against self-destruction I need to draw a line in the sand
Secret weapon to overcome my fear to climb the tree of life
Bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky
Got the blues running down my mind
Solace shows our path, the wolf takes our life
Lying back home with my Cocaine blues
Singing with a strange shadow of a bird in the sky
Bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky
The crows fly back waiting for the dead man
Fighting against self-destruction I need to draw a line in the sand
Secret weapon to overcome my fear to climb the tree of life
Bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky
I live in a world I don’t want to live in
Too much poverty and no one cares,
Hopefully I can see some love right there
You and me can make something to change the road of death
Bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky
Bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky, bird in the sky
Ohh.. Ohhh.. Ohhh… Ohh… Chasing sun Yeah !!
Ohh.. Ohhh.. Ohhh… Ohh… Chasing sun Yeah !!
3. Lying on a Mountain (2:51) + PAROLES
There’s not much to complain about now
The monkeys chase the weasel the trees are dancing with the wind
The moment I stand towards these beautiful things
I said to myself life is too short, yes too short
Catch the sun before the light, the light is coming
Blow my mind at the edge of time
The snake catches your breath
Standing behind the owl
Across the red line the road has no end
so many questions remain unclear
Sunshine, love buzz, splash in the air
The moment I stand towards these beautiful things
I said to myself life is too short, yes too short
Catch the sun before the light, the light is coming
Blow my mind at the edge of time
The snake catches your breath
Standing behind the owl
As you get no pleasure in the death of the wicked
4. Rivers of Blessing and Broken Hearts (3:06) + PAROLES
Going back to this crazy land
Sliding down the river of emotion
Going towards you, exposed
When you get into this bar you lose part of your soul
This is the price to pay when you get old
I’ll never no never make it again
Give the right things a chance to catch you
When we walk across the old drake bridge
Blessed by a broken heart in the river of emotion
The sun is in our eyes I still fall for you babe
as we walk across the old drake bridge
I’ll never no never make it again
Give the right things a chance to catch you
When we walk across the old drake bridge
Don’t lie like a fool, something in the wind so cool
Take a boat and you will see
Take a boat looking for change, real change
Blessed by a broken heart in the river of emotion
I’m blessed by a broken heart in the river of emotion
