1. Oh, loneliness, my heart´s like a star
Left all alone in waiting for the dawn
Oh, loneliness, my heart´s like a star
Shining so bright and the sky´s so deep and wide

CH: Hear that breeze so gently blowing
Through the crowns of the trees upon the hills
Hear that breeze so gently singing
And whispering the songs of relief (of God´s Relief)

2. Oh, loneliness, my soul´s like a well
With water so sweet, with water so clean
Oh, loneliness, my soul´s like a well
But where´s the thirsty one, the one ain´t around

CH:

3. Oh, loneliness, my body´s so weak
Only dust of grave,blind desires and needs
Oh, loneliness, my body´s so weak
Trembling like a leaf, like leaf in a wind

CH:

1. He was a young little poor boy
hardly no-one knew his name
he had no mummy or daddy
they left him in his baby days

CH: and now he`s gone up in Heaven
and God takes him in His care
he stays with beautiful angels
he joined his real family up there

2. he spent few years in a big house
with many such others there
one day he fell sick and died
oh, what is a life without love

CH:

3. just a little tombstone in the graveyard
no flowers no candles there
the boy`s name`s wholly forgotten
but God knows his name very well

THE LUSATIAN GRASS 2002

1. When I was young I used to dream about
a man's true love I believed it could be found
´twas written in my books I used to read them many times
that´s the love, I said myself, I wanna live in my life

CH: the only splendid love so gentle, kind and sweet
and flying high above the clouds, oh, what a dream
dreams, dreams, dreams, ain´t believe them any more
oh, boy, don´t knock on mine, knock upon another door

2. once I lived o´er the romance of love
I was like a fool, took no good advice
my dear went away ´n´ left pain in my heart
my mum said to me, it ain´t no end of life

CH:

3. then many love affairs have passed through my live
but I´m single and live alone I´m no man´s wife
oh, men, you can call and knock upon my door
but ye can´t change my mind, I ain´t believe in your love any more

CH:

1. My mummy´s had with me them hard times
I´ve hurt her every time I know
I´ve never really wished to do, oh Lord
those bad things I´ve ever done
I don´t know where and who´s my dad
I haven´t seen him since my eight
my mummy always told me "Be a good boy"
I´ve tried, oh Lord, oh but I ain´t

2. we were poor and mummy worked so hard
I know she tried to do the best
but when I wished to take a little talk with her
she said " Sorry son, please, let me rest"
I guess there father´s hand was needed
it could to save me from my falling down
´cause I had only bad friends and I drank too much
and it pushed me into jail where I´m now

3. if there was someone who´d have shown me
bright and clear what´s right or wrong
I wouldn´t be here in that ole jailhouse now
counting every day and night to be gone
there were no gentle words no kindness
when I remember my young days
I everytime felt useless and lonesome too
I really hate that what others call homeplace

CH: Don´t forget what Jesus said
get ready brother it´s not late
all your fails them make you fat
remember that narrow is the gate

1. broad and wide is a way to Hell
don´t choose it you could go astray
you´d never hear that Heaven´s bell
remember that narrow is the way

CH:

2. don´t rely on your wealth
it can´t you help before His face
many do such a great mistake
remember that narrow is the way

1. Just one little look at you with my friend by your side
that told me something´s getting changed in your heart and mind
I can´t give you everything you know you can say
just a little word and I´m not in your way

CH: I´d rather find a quiet place that nobody knows
and stay with a pain only alone
I´d rather find a quiet place where nobody goes
and die with a pain only alone

2. I can get you´re looking for the happiness in life
but I can´t be your husband you´ll never be my wife
we were caught and tied by love I still feel the same
But if there´s another then I´m not in your way

1. I counted so on you my darling
it seems that was a big mistake
those words you told me this morning
broke my heart, oh, what an ache

CH: you said that you returned to the one
who you left some time ago alone
you promised me to live together
it`s just clear you don`t know what you want

2. once you were fed up with your darling
`nd I was close enough to talk
I believed that you had parted
but now it all looks like a joke

CH:

3. you did not mean the words you told me
nor emotions of yours
my heart was hit `n` hurt so deeply
I`m feeling now like a broken toy

 1. Darkness around the world full of sin
I see the light I long to be in
sometimes I feel like reaching you,Lord
but other times my steps are proved to be wrong

CH: I am ashamed of all of my fails
hold me, my Lord, let me watch your bright face
tighten me close to your right ways
I`ll praise you and thank till the end of my days

2. once I believed in Jesus, my Lord
he is my Saviour, first-born of God
he came down for me he suffered and died
now I would change the wrong for the right

CH:

3. he suffered and died to wash my sins away
he rose up from death `twas on the third day
he went up to sit on the right of the Throne
he`s ruling with God and he`s calling me home

1. It´s a dark and a cold, a cold, cold night
and instead of sleepin´ I´m thinkin´ of you
and even one memory just causes the pain
there´s love in my heart and tears on my face

2. When I´m in bed and lay on my pillow
no sleepin´ but you on my mind makes me to weep
I´ve cried whole the night ´till today´s morning dawn
no one can help, oh God, I´m alone

3. Why God caused we met if we can´t be together
still feel my hand in yours but I´ve got to say good-bye
I don´t know what I´d do to ease my worried soul
deep in my heart, oh yet I love you so

4. It´s long long ago I hoped love was gone
but suddenly you stood there and your look burnt me so
I felt my old love, old pains were recalled
I know deep inside that everything goes on
