FALL
My name
is Florrow
I am
a Robin Goodfellow,
A sprite
living in a forest of England.
I was
born just after midnight
Out of
nowhere
Going
nowhere
On a
moody day of autumn.
Puzzled
by the cruelty of life
It took
years before I discovered
A reason
to live.
On a
spring evening
My whole
world was destroyed.
But a
sweet perfume of love
Took
my bitterness
Took
my emptiness
Off.
I fought
the dragon
And saved
my friends from oblivion.
This
is my story...
(c 2001)
Clean
sweep of the past which flies up in the air
Leaving
only down in the hair
Clean
sweep of the future flowing out of my hands
Leaving
bitter drops to the palate
Clean
sweep of the present which burnt those beloved
Leaving
only ashes in the heart.
Here
is my sword:
I am
tired of fighting the same enemy
every
day
Where
are the days when I dreamt?
Here
is my shield:
I am
tired of winning victories lost
every
dawn
Where
are the days when I loved?
Drowned,
drowned in a sea of emotionless waves
I weep,
exiled in a black desert
Like
a brook in a dry valley
I'm stumbling
over the rocks...
Here's
my shield
Here's
my sword
Here's
my life
Here's
my world
Here's
my love
For you...
Take
a
piece of my life
And give
it to them
Why am
I still alive
And them
gone?
(c 2000)
Lying
on the grass
Looking
at the birds as they pass
The clouds
strolling so high
Up in
the sky.
The green
mountain profiles on the horizon
A boat
loitering on the pond.
Suddenly
A primrose
blooms in my garden
Clean
sweep of my sorrow,
Give
it back my sword!
Where
are the days when I cried?
J'ai froid
en moi
Mais
j'ai foi en toi
Your
smile twinkling in my darkness.
(c 2000)
Gems flying
in the sky,
Slipping
in my hands,
Crying
in the night,
Bursting
in my head
Flying
in the sky,
Bleeding
in my hands,
Crying
in the night,
Bursting
in my head
Then,
then I tried to go and find
a way
leading to their hearts
Then,
then I tried to go and find
a way
leading to their hearts
I don't
want to go away
I'm so
young and I am weedy
I don't
want to go astray
I'm so
young and I am clumsy
I don't
want to go away
I'm so
young and I am weedy
I don't
want to go astray
I'm so
young and I am clumsy
When,
when I looked into your eyes
I could
see fire, love and skies
When,
when I looked into your eyes
I could
see fire, love and skies
When,
when I looked into your eyes
I could
see fire, love and skies
When,
when I looked into your eyes
I could
see fire, love and skies
When,
when I looked into your eyes
I could
see fire, love and skies
When,
when I looked into your eyes
I could
see fire, love and skies
Looked
into your eyes
Looked
into your eyes
Looked
into your eyes
Looked
into your eyes
I won't
be afraid by
Chasing
doom and chasing gloom
Giving
life to full bloom
Chasing
doom and chasing gloom
Giving
life to full bloom
Chasing
doom and chasing gloom
Giving
life to lost souls.
(c 2002)
THE
DESERT GATES
Sahara,
You the beautiful one
Like the blue eyed girl.
(c 2002)
Fight
the dragon
Kill
the beast
Fight
the dragon
Kill
the beast
Look
at his eyes
He's
just like you and me
Fight
the dragon
Kill
the beast
Fight
the dragon
Kill
the beast.
(c 2000)
Why don't
you realise
That
youth is in your eyes
Why don't
you understand
That's
why I take your hand.
(c 2001)
When I
am poor, you'll be queen of misery
When
I am king, you'll be queen of fantasy
And I
do my best to conquer your heart so tenderly
But you
are blind to see the tears upon my face
And I
do my best to conquer your heart so tenderly
But you
are blind to see the tears upon my face.
Why don't
you see that I really love you
Why don't
you see that I love you
Why don't
you see that I really love you
Why don't
you see that I love you
And I
do my best to conquer your heart so tenderly
But you
are blind to see the tears running.
Why,
please tell me why, tell me why I love you so, oh tell me why, oh tell
me
How,
please tell me how, tell me how to enchant your heart, oh tell me how,
oh tell me
And I
do my best to conquer your heart so tenderly
But you
are blind to see the tears running.
Why,
please tell me why, tell me why I love you so, oh tell me why, oh tell
me
How,
please tell me how, tell me how to enchant your heart, oh tell me how,
oh tell me
And I
do my best to conquer your heart so tenderly
But you
are blind to see the tears running.
Tell
me why?
Tell
me why?
(c 2002)
Florrow!
Master
Florrow is back home!
He fought
the dragon,
Saved
our souls from the despair pit.
Life
is back in the village!
Look,
primroses bloom in our gardens.
Time
for joy!
Time
for the feast of friendship!
Broach
the casks and roast the lambs
Put your
full dresses on
And let
the celebration begin!
(c 2003)
FINALE
Now you
all know my story.
Beware
of all dragons
Especially
the one sleeping in you.
(c 2003)
Sometimes out of the swell
Emerge several calls
Or even helpless hands
Quickly drowned by the crowd.
Alone in a fortress
I’d like to forget
A biting coldness
Which grows in my heart.
Exiled in my cell
Dreaming of Eden
I’d like to be a sea-gull
And fly from days dull.
Curled up in a vale
Hidden in a heart
I could yet forget
A sea so pale…
Float, lyre-bird, float
Gather notes with your smile
Fly me away, fly
For my beloved girl!
(c 2013)
