Far away, ends a summer day.
And the breeze it carries your quiet sigh.
'Cos you're tired today, and sleep won't come,
Pretty bird, why do you hide your head and cry.
Ooh, there is a love that stays now.
Ooh, let it all fly away now.
Ooh, lie awake and you'll find love waiting.
Little one, how far you've come,
Down a path that never was and easy one.
So rest your head, come lay it down.
Hear the wind calling you to fly the moonlit clouds.
Nine Sixteen
Words and music by Bruno Merz
I need the nine sixteen to get me where I'm going to,
Take me from this place of lies and shame.
My tears are falling down, falling down on everyone,
Think it's time to leave and start again.
But where is home, where is home.
Tired of feeling alone.
So come fly me away.
Ooh, yeah I'm riding on.
Ooh, yeah I'm riding on.
Thought I'd forever be bound by regrets that torment me.
Never seen a day break oh so clear.
And as the leaves appeared you whispered words of love to me,
Melted through this heart so full of fear.
Beautiful Always
Words and music by Bruno Merz
Your gentle hands they cover me,
And I feel sleep come finally.
But I don't want to sleep tonight,
I want to stay here forever like this,
In your arms.
And how I'm longing for the sea.
To feel the waves wash over me.
And like the shining sea, light finds you.
It all becomes calm here with your head on my heart,
And in your sleep I heard you say,
You say I love you in a tender way,
All I could do was lie and gaze,
Upon that pretty sleeping face.
Beautiful always, beautiful always.
Serenade
Words and music by Bruno Merz
A serenade,
To say goodbye,
To ceaseless lies that bind me.
I can't feel the pain,
Can't rest my head,
I'm afraid to try tonight.
So I'll take these wings.
And learn to fly.
And all the words I've longed to hear,
You whisper closer in my ear.
Replace the lies I've believed.
So come find me,
'Cos I'm waiting,
I can't waste another day.
So I'll take these wings.
And learn to fly.
Breathe this this breath,
And learn to cry.
And I'll wait here beside this river wide.
'Til the silence replies,
Bringing tears to these eyes.
So wash over, wash over,
over me, over me.
So wash over, wash over,
over me, over me.
