You talk too much when you're nervous I listen just to observe it A girl like you is deserving Of someone to love your courage To see your shape in the morning Impossible not to adore it For months I tried to ignore it I'm sorry for me to intrude But I can't fight it anymore And I promise by the time this is through You'll have been way way happier before And you stayed down You had me when I was face down To see your heart in a cold room I wish someone would have told you But you stayed down You had when I was face down I wish someone have told you You put your heart in the cold room And you look pretty in the sundress that you wore To your best friends wedding in july You look pretty when you undress And you were so embarrassed, she was mad it was white But you're golden Color of the pack that she's smoking She can't get back what was stolen It's what everybody else sees What everybody else sees But you're coping, Constantly unfolding It's clear what she doesn't notice Is what everybody else sees What everybody else. And you stayed down You had me when I was face down To see your heart in a cold room I wish someone would have told you But you stayed down You had when I was face down I wish someone have told you You put your heart in the cold room And you stayed down And you stayed down Yeah you even had me when I was face down And you stayed down You had me when I was face down Put your heart in the cold room I wish somebody would have told you

No travel bags, no shopping malls No candy canes, no Santa Claus For as the day of rest draws near It's just the two of us this year No silver bells or mistletoe We'll kiss and watch our TV show I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you Till it's Christmas in the room No traffic jams, no ice and storm Far in the house the fire is warm No Christmas tree, no great parade It's just an ordinary day No parties planned, no place to go It's just the two of us alone And in the house we see a light That comes what we feel inside I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you Till it's Christmas in the room Till it's Christmas in the room Oh, I can't see the day when we'll die But I don't care to think of silence For now I hear you laughing The greatest joy is like the sunrise No gifts to give, they're all right here Inside our hearts, the glorious cheer And in the house we seek a light That comes from what we know inside I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you Till it's Christmas in the room I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you Like it's Christmas in the room Like it's Christmas in the room

Come my love, I'll tell you a tale Of a boy and girl and their love story And how he loved her oh, so much, And all the charms she did possess. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel; It's as real as the feelings I feel. Now this did happen once upon a time, When things were not so complex. And how he worshipped the ground she walked on. When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel; It's as real as the feelings I feel. This love was stronger than the powers so dark, A prince could have within his keeping; His spells to weave and steal a heart, Within her breast, but only sleeping. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel; It's as real as the feelings I feel. He said, "Don't you know I love you oh, so much, And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?" She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves Always have a happy ending?" Then he swooped her up, just like in the books, And on his stallion they rode away. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel; It's as real as the feelings I feel.

Rüdiger stands in the rain and the snow Collector of autographs Names upon photographs Faces of people who everyone knows Rüdiger lives in a place on his own Briefcase and spectacles Strange and respectable He knows the meaning of being alone Oh, Rüdiger Rüdiger Rüdi-, oh, Rüdiger Rüdiger works as a clerk in the town Music or politics Rüdiger gets his kicks He gets information, then he comes around Oh, Rüdiger Rüdiger Rüdi-, oh, Rüdiger Rüdiger waits at the hall in Berlin He waits there all night Security's tight They know who he is, but they don't let him in Rüdiger waits in the dark by the stair His fingers are shaking His feet, they are aching But your name's in the paper so Rüdiger's there Oh, Rüdiger Rüdiger Rüdi-, oh, Rüdiger Rüdiger Rüdiger Rüdi-, oh, Rüdiger

The chisels are calling It's time to make sawdust Steely reminders of things left to do Monteleone A mandolin's waiting for you My fingerplane's working Gentle persuasion I bend to the wood and i coax it to sing Monteleone Your new one and only will ring Monteleone Your new one and only will ring The rain on the window The snow on the gravel The seasons go by to the songs in the wood Too quick or too careless It all could unravel It so easily could The chisels are calling It's back for an encore Back to the shavings that cover the floor Monteleone A call for more Monteleone A call for more

These tables are haunted by the ghost of Las Vegas Their chips were once mountains but they came here to play They could take me if they wanted but I have nothing worth counting And like the sands of Nevada they go drifting away Lady luck's still a mystery with her head on my shoulder And I don't know why I still want her to dance I guess that's all history what it is is I'm older And I'm still a fool for your one-way romance Her dice were red rubies, they rolled and they tumbled And I never saw time running out with my roll And in the wasteland of cut glass my dreams were all crumbled And I've paid with whatever I had left for a soul Now the dawn's broken even on a empty horizon No reason for folding, no reason to stay It's too soon to be leaving, too late for criticizing And the sands of Nevada go drifting away
