A Second Dream Lyrics © Guitar Mal When I saw your face, I knew that I, was living out... a second dream, a second dream And I knew that I, would always be, living out a fantasy, a second dream, a second dream And even if I find a way into your soul yes even if I find a way..... Well you know that I, will always be, living out a fantasy, a second dream, a second dream When I saw your face, I knew that I, could never die, until the day I realised, that second dream Well you came to me, and in your eyes, I saw a look I recognised, a special dream And even if I find a way to you will I even if I make it through? Well I know that I, could never be, part of your reality, that special dream, that special dream Well you know that we're, all living in, these years of de-cadence and sin, a second scene But you know my thoughts, are pure for you, there's nothing I, just wouldn't do, my special queen But even if I had a second chance with you could I even see it through? Well you know that I, will always be, here if you, should ever be my special queen, my special queen Maybe I could have a second life with you and we could really see it through? Cos you know that I, will always be, here for you, to make it real, that second dream... of you... of me... of you... of me... of you

They say this song is living on a long time Copyright Guitar Mal 2007. _________________________________ I cannot tell what you have written I cannot read between the lines I guess you're saying that you love me Just like you have a thousand times They say this song is living on a long time They say this song is living on so long I've always been the same beside you I've never known just how you felt I could not get inside your feelings Is there a way to make you melt? They say this song is living on a long time They say this song is living on so long I could not touch your skin so gently So gently that you you'd want to cry I never found the magic feeling That brought a tear to your eye They say this song is living on a long time They say this song just can't go, can't go on So now it's time for me to listen For me to open wide my eyes To get behind just what you're saying And try to see it through your eyes They say this song is living on a long time They say this song is living on so long I cannot tell you what I've written I cannot read you out my lines I guess I'm saying that I love you But is this just one final time? They say this song is living on a long time They say this song just can't go, can't go on

Le Vent (The Wind) © 2009 Guitar Mal _______________________________ le son du vent qui souffle dans les arbres me fait penser à toi et moi quand on se promenait ensemble ce jour en mai... tu etais dans mes bras... mais tu n'es plus là partie! tu as volé toute ma vie je n'ai rien compris quand tu m'as dit adieu enfin c'est bien fini *(see bottom of page for translation) so now I find myself alone amongst those very trees that once we called our own, that breathed with us those special days when we made love so deep within their shade but now it's gone can I feel the way I do without a hope of loving you one more time, even if love is so blind? my love for you never shatters in the dust you left behind and even though it chokes me now it's going to settle down one day and you'll be rising from the dust to smile upon what I hope, what I dream about you now you'll never leave these thoughts I have of you are all, all that I can believe the smoking flames of love that wrapped around our every dream and though the fire's gone out and through it all the cold, it seems too much to bear, for you are out my life you're rolling in the ash that's all that's left kill it! killing my life for more, my love I settle down, killing the thoughts I had that we, we'd stay forever round and now, these final thoughts I have of you are all that's left to keep my memories precious so that I can live a little dream one day when I look back on all the times we had and I'll be glad that I knew you then, I'm sure I couldn't leave, wouldn't miss it even though it hurt me evermore but what of you, what has become of all the thoughts you felt for me? you fell in love again it's true but can I really be completely gone from all your prayers and thoughts that you don't call? you never call me up these days, and it's hard, your soul has gone don't want to hate you but it's hard, trying to just move on all of these thoughts it's not easy for a guy like me who's been so very hurt that they can't live another day inside a world that doesn't have their lover ever in their mind; to know they're gone killing, killing me every day, the thought of you not there killing my every dream and hope, hope that you'd ever care le son du vent qui souffle dans les arbres me fait penser à toi et moi quand on se promenait ensemble ce jour en mai... tu etais dans mes bras... mais tu n'es plus là partie! tu as volé toute ma vie je n'ai rien compris quand tu m'as dit adieu enfin c'est bien fini ____________________ translation of first verse: ____________________ the sound of the wind blowing through the trees makes me think of you and me when we walked together that day in May... you were in my arms... but you're not there! gone! you've stolen away my life I didn't understand when you told me there! it's over!

Me About You 05:37
Me About You ___________ If you tell me that you love me, do I believe you? And if I tell you that I love you, do you believe that too? In the morning if you hear me singing a love song Do you really believe it's me about you? With all that's happened now between us It's getting hard to know the truth With all we say The words just end up in the way and Reason flies out through the roof If you go out to night, do I still miss you? And if I go out alone, do you still miss me too? In the evening if I come home singing a love song Do you really believe it's me about you? Yet in the morning we'll be happy But it's getting hard to know the truth With all we say The words just end up in the way and We can't ask to see the proof If you tell me you are leaving, do I believe you? Do I stand up and fight, or does my heart go with you too? If you walk out on me, do we still have our memories Of you about me, and me about you? With all that's happened now between us I just don't know what to do If you should stay We'll end up fighting day by day but Maybe we can see it through... It's all about me, it's all about you You about me and me about you It's all about me, it's all about you You about me and me about you You about me and me about you
