[Instrumental]


2. FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE

There is a window out of pain.
But the grief will come again.
Swallow all the light and steal the sleep tonight.
I'll never see the day to take it all away.
There was a time to play my cards.
Drown my anchor in the hearts.
Find the tracks to love and get the tricks to shove
I never found a way to make it here to stay.
My world is dark and out of touch.
I'm left alone a bit too much.
What you see is what you get.
But when you can't there's nothing left.
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave.
My world is full of mortal scenes
That blind my eyes and steal my dreams.
What you feel is what you get.
But when you can't there's nothing left.
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave.
My world is dark and out of touch.
I'm left alone a bit too much.
What you see is what you get.
But when you can't there's nothing left.
My world is full of mortal scenes
That blind my eyes and steal my dreams.
I can't see or feel it yet
And as I can't there's nothing left.
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave.
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave.
I'll miss you from the cradle to the grave...


3. PAINT IT BLACK (Rolling Stones cover)

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens evry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black


4. JUST ALONE

They lowered my body in a dark hole
The dry ground now covers my remains
I stood at their side and watched them crying
They can't know their tears they are in vain

All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone

I can see, I can hear, I can be, be forevermore...

All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone

Where shall I be in this demension?
Where are the others I await?
Is this existence mean forever?
Is there a door that leds away?

All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone

Nailed to a cross of isolation
My punishment is I'm all alone
Just alone, alone...
