"San Fernando"

"San Fernando"


Weit im Süden liegt ein Hafen
Es war wunderbar, dort vor einem Jahr
Tausend Wunder, dort im Hafen sind die Gründe
dass ich bald nach Süden fahr.

San Fernando, San Fernando
Ich komm wieder, wenn die Rosen wieder blühn
San Fernando, grüss Maria
Grüss die Sterne und die Liebesmelodie

Weit im Süden liegt ein Hafen
Der voll Zauber ist, den man nie vergisst
Doch das schönste dort im Hafen
Sind die Lippen, die mich tausendmal geküsst

San Fernando, San Fernando
Ich komm wieder, wenn die Rosen wieder blühn
San Fernando, grüss Maria
Grüss die Sterne und die Liebesmelodie

"Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)"

"Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)"


I peeped in to say good night
When I heard my child in prayer
"Send for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In my town no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeped in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
I saw ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

"Shahdaroba"

"Shahdaroba"


Where the Nile flows
And the moon glows
On the silent sand
Of an ancient land

When a dream dies
And a heart cries
Shahdaroba
Is the word they whisper alone

Shahdaroba, Shahdaroba
Means the future is much better than the past
Shahdaroba, Shahdaroba
In the future you will find a love that lasts

So when tears flow
And you don't know
What on earth to do
And your world is blue

When your dream dies
And your heart cries
Shahdaroba
Fate knows what's best for you

Shahdaroba, Shahdaroba
Face the future and forget about the past
Shahdaroba, Shahdaroba
In the future you will find a love that lasts

Shahdaroba

"She"

"She"


She was the wind, the earth and sky
She was the one who made me laugh and cry
She was cake and she was wine
She was fun and she was mine

She'd lie lie lie to me
And I'd believe her
She'd cry and cry and cry for me
I couldn't leave her

No one could hurt, no one could flirt
And no one could smile like she could
She was misery and sorrow
She was reason for tomorrow

The smile of the cat was on her face
A Chaparral she love to run the race
The style of the fox men embrace
To know her was to love her
And no one could treat me like she could

She was just a little girl
She was a woman of the world
She was all my dreams
She was many things
But she is, she was, she'll always be
A woman

"She Wears My Ring"

"She Wears My Ring"


She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally
With loving care I placed it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

"She Won't Hang Her Love Out (On The Line)"

"She Won't Hang Her Love Out (On The Line)"


She come from Kansas City, lookin' mighty pretty
She's as sweet as Kansas City wine
Oh, it's such a pity, she won't wanna kiss me
She won't hang her love out on the line
No, she won't hang her love out on the line

A mystery to me, she's not what you see
She's a strong, mighty woman who loves to disagree
If I could just talk to her
I know that I could fool her
But she won't hang her love out on the line

She don't care for nothin' she holds onto her lovin'
I wonder if she'd ever change her mind?
I'll fall in behind her, hopin' that I find her
When she hangs her love out on the line
When she hangs her love out on the line

A mystery to me, she's not what you see
She's a strong, mighty woman who loves to disagree
If I could just talk to her
I know that I could fool her
But she won't hang her love out on the line

I'd take her lovin', I'd take her lovin'
I'd take her lovin' anytime
I want her lovin', I need her lovin'
but she won't hang her love out on the line
she won't hang her love out on the line
she won't hang her love out on the line
No,she won't hang her love out on the line
she won't hang her love out on the line

"She's A Mystery To Me"

"She's A Mystery To Me"


Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where I can't find my way
Without her as my guide

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
and burn eternally

She's a mystery to me
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl

In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut like a switchblade to my heart
words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
And I just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl

Haunted by her side it's the darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
But if my love is blind then I don't want to see
She's a mystery to me

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
and burn eternally

She's a mystery to me
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl
She's a Mystery Girl

"Sleepy Hollow"

"Sleepy Hollow"


There's a place I call Sleepy Hollow
Where I go when you're not around
There's a brook running clear in the meadow
I lose my blues in it's sound

The wind and the trees from the hollow
Whisper secrets of life in my ear
When I lay down in their shadows
I dream that you're still here

The bubbling babbling brook is your laughter
The wind blowing softly,your touch
I've found the one thing I'm after
Your love, your love means so much

Until you say that you love me
And make all my dreams come true
I'll go down to my Sleepy Hollow
And dream my dreams of you
I'll go down to my Sleepy Hollow
And dream my dreams of you

"So Young"

"So Young"


Dawn comes up so young, dreams begin so young
And if you live just for today the day may soon be done
But there's a place where dreams always stay so young

A place to hear the sun go down and fade away
To see the wind just run away with yesterday
Anyplace for those who care Zabriskie Point is anywhere
Time runs out so fast on love too good to last, so young

A time to look forever's there or never found
To touch the sky and really feel the world go round
To live to love to laugh to cry to be alone
Young, so young love was meant to be wild and free
So young young, so young love is space in life
A place in time a state of mind too late I find
When tomorrow's gone and love is lost so young

"Something They Can't Take Away"

"Something They Can't Take Away"


All too soon we were blown upon our seperate ways again
And our warm summer dreams
Joined the fallen leaves that tumbled in the wind
With the echoes and traces of voices and faces
And places that I've left behind

But there's times in the morning
And there's times at the close of day
When your memory comes easy as smiling
And that's something they can't take away

I may die without ever knowing happiness again
Leaving nothing behind but a line of lonely footprints in the sand
But I know that wherever I go, I will never trade anything I'll ever find

For the times in the morning and the times at the close of day
When your memory comes easy as smiling, and that's something they can't take away
When your memory comes easy as smiling, and that's something they can't take away
