L.NORMAN HOMMAGE

dear LARRY friend,

this is a personal invitiation for you!
we will have an homage celebration
in memory of LARRY NORMAN, who passed away on Feb.24th
after a long battle with heart related problems.
there is hardly anybody whose music has deeply moved
and inspired my life.

i..m thinking of a really nice, relaxing party with Larry-friends
from germany, switzerland, the netherlands and from wherever you are!
we should be together, eat together, have a good glass of wine,
dance to Larry..s music, listen to his music and maybe sing his songs.

the ” Kulturelle Mitte” is a perfect location
to combine celebration and concert.
there will be a stage, where everyone is welcome to share
his solidarity to Larry Norman.

if you would like to play 1-2 songs of Larry,
if you would like to read a poem or if you just
want to say what Larry means to you,
if you have filmfootage from his concerts,
song or interview raritys and so on..
please let me know soon!

let me also know if you need
a sleeping place for the night.
it won..t cost you anything,
because we have some nice families who
would love to host you.

i would be happy, if you could help
to invite more Larry-friends-fans
by just spreading this news!

STRONG LOVE, STRANGE PEACE.

And you gave me love so I wrote down this song.”

LYRICS

“Early morning hours”
das neue album ist fertig und ab dem 12.september zu haben!
hier vorab und exclusiv die lyrics:

1.EARLY MORNING HOURS

In the early morning hours
I heard a tiny melodie
It was moving through the lowland
It was heard from far across the sea

I heard no voice
I heard no words
Like a gentle wave
It swept and washed all over me
I was sinking I was sinking
Down to my knees down to my knees

It felt like rising from the grave
It felt like getting saved
Felt like waking up from sleep
With peace all over me
With peace from head to feet

2.BACK TO THE DUST

Back to the dust
back to the dust
We have no money to save
Only us only us

Burning woods
I can see the smoke
Coming over the monuntains
Like a crawling snake
My heart is in a hurry
My feet don´t walk
My lips are frozen

Our little house
It will burn
Before the wicked returns
Before the rain awakes
It will tremble and fall fall

Back to the dust
Back to the dust
We have no money to share
Only us only us

Where is your heart
Where is your heart
I know the fire
Won´t tear it apart

3.WRITE DOWN

Write down what you feel
What do you hear
Are there valleys where you live
Rivers or hills highways and streams
What do you see

Write down what you feel
Are you afraid or are you just tired
Could could we get out
Out of this wheel
It keeps on turning without feel

Wherever you go my land could grow
Oh holy spirit let it flow
Little seed beautiful tree
Oh all my friends should come
And see that you are real

Write down what you feel
Are you dead or are you just sleeping
Stranger, soldier, poet, rambler
Where is your love

Wherever you go my land could grow
Oh holy spirit let it flow
Little seed beautiful tree
Oh all you children come and eat
You will be healed

4.DANCERS OF THE NIGHT

Between the lines
You crossed my mind in a red balloon
From our cherry tree
I saw you talking to the moon

Never we felt so close
To mornings end
Behind the great canyon
Into our father´s land

We are we are dancers
Dancers dancers of the night

Trails of troubles
Leaving fast
Up and down our golden path
Inside the storm above the sea
Oh revelation all over me

With you I will make it
To the other side
We will and not get weary
When the whole world collides

We are we are dancers
Dancers dancers of the night

We are dreamers lovers
Sailors of the sky

We walk side by side
When the gate will close
When the whole world
The whole world collides

We are dreamers lovers
Servants of the bride

5.BURNING OF THE AGES

He´s like the morningsun
Speaks with a burning tonque
Into the twilight of my memories

He´s like a son of man
Far from a distant land
Down to the rising road of misery

I fell at his feet
As though I was dead
When he placed his right hand on me

Is this the burning of the ages
Do you really think this I love
Is this the burning of the ages
Do you really know where to start

He´s my peace of mind
Inside the beat of time
Into the twilight of my memories

He´s coming down the underground
In a mighty sound
And all you flattering lips
Will speak no longer
When you´ll see his eyes
Like blazing fire

Is this the burning of the ages
Is this the secret that we´re waiting for
Is this the voice of revelation
Is this the answer to the older days

6.CRUSH ON YOU

Of you I think the whole day long
You are heart and you are soul
You are now you are then
You are god and you are man

Of you I think the whole day long
The stars and trees they speak of you
The birds and bees they sing for you
The young and old have a crush on you

When the lights go down
On our little countrytown
I lay my burdens down beside your feet
And I climb up to your arms
I climb up to your arms
And I fall asleep

Secretly you spoke to me
We were walking endlessly
In the garden of your son
We were one

We walked to where no humans go
Walked to where the four winds blow
Walked inside three holy rooms
Walked to where the blood had flown

When the lights go down
On our little countrytown
I lay my sorrows down beside your feet

7.SELFPARALYZED

If I could I would scream
With the thunder
Flashing down down down
On my own
There´s a lover and there´s jesus
And I´m always inbetween

Always on the other side
I have faith it´s written down
And I could make the sound

If I could I would scream
With the thunder
Coming down down down
On my own
There´s a lover and there´s jesus
And I´m always inbetween

All the words
I´ve told a million times
They stuck inside this weary line
They follow me to all the crowded places
But they leave me lonely here

I just don´t know how to use them
And I don´t how to soothe the heart
That they tear apart and I wonder
How it was at the start

8.INTO ANOTHER LAND

This life makes no sense
The sky above us and the earth beneath our feet
But noting inbetween

Love is unknown
Freedom baby freedom is another lie
Life is hard as a stone

Come we steal once away
From the cities built by hands
From the highways and the streets
Into another land
Into another land

This life makes no sense
When lonliness is hidden in your golden eye
We better say goodbye

Give me a sad melodie
That sings our hearts to sleep
After we have finished our deals

Come we steal once away
From the cities built by hands
From the highways and the streets
Into another land
Into another land

With you I can talk all night
Feeling save and warm
Know that I can conquer life
Cause I know where I was born

9.KEEP US ALIVE

I´m running faster than I could
Talking louder than I should
From the first to the last
I tell you more than you have asked

We are happy when we look at each other
This connection under the red blood sky
Keeps us alive keeps us alive

You are killing all of my pride
You come to me like a thief in the night
Feed me for I need your love
Give back to me my society/inherity
We are happy when we look at each other
This connection under the red blood sky
Keeps us alive keeps us alive

Oh sweet old world
Tender kiss
Marianne you lovely heart
See millions of us in love

We are happy when we look at each other
This connection under the red blood sky
Keeps us alive keeps us alive
Keep us alive keep us live

I´m walking I ´m walking
The path is narrow but the end is near

10.SONG OF LOVE

oh it gonna take a long long time
To get through to your mind
I might be gone take a long long time
To find this heart of mine
Oh what a thrill If we both start
To fly

Sing sing it like you feel it
Speak it like you mean it
Sing it till we´re free
Play play it in the morning
Play it to the evening
Play the song of love

One day I´ll be next to you
One day I´ll be near to you
On ghost clouds our wooden boats
On dusty wings towards the winds
We go again

Oh what a thrill If we both start
To fly

Sing sing it like you feel it
Speak it like you mean it
Sing it till we´re free
Play play it in the morning
Play it to the evening
Play the song of love

Sing sing it for the orphans
Play it for the widows
Sing it till we´re free
Love love like there´s no ending
Love like there´s no beginning
Play it from the heart

Hold me now
For I need the pure
The night blows cold
Against my door

Hey yellow words and paperplanes
Voices echo in the rain
Come let our hearts let our hearts
Let our love begin to sway again
Oh what a thrill if we all start swaying

Sing sing it like you feel it
Speak it like you mean it
Sing it till we´re free
Play play it in the morning
Play it to the evening
Play the song of love

11.HERE COMES THE DAY AGAIN

Every morning when I wake up
I feel the sunlight moving
Every morning when I wake up
I hear music playing
And someone is singing from behind

It is not too late
Over mountains I´ll take you away
It is not too late
Here comes the day again

Babe, it´s all over now
Just lay your hand in mine
Across oceans I will guide you
Home again

Every morning when I wake up
I hear music playing

12.TRAVEL WITH ME

Travel with me
Oh you weary child
I´ll take you to the northern sky

Rest with me
Oh you secret child
Beneath the streams of life

Sing for me oh sing for me
From all the lonliness inside
Speak to me oh speak to me
From all the heartache in your life
(from all the happiness you hide)

In the leaves of golden trees
In the sunsets majesty
I will cover and I will hold you
For you are mine

13. WALKING BACKWARDS

walking backwards down the stairs
trying to get higher
how can i get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs

watching life elude me
slipping through my grasp
oh i know the truth at last
but to reach the top i’ve
got to stop from

walking backwards down the stairs
trying to get higher
how can i get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs

people stop to watch me
wonder what i’m doing
what direction i’m pursuing
i pretend i’m free
but actually i’m

walking backwards down the stairs
trying to get higher
how can i get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs

14.DRIVING.DRIVING.DRIVING

Everything around me
Is dancing in the dark
I´m driving down the alley
Driving through death valley
I´m leaving leaving leaving
My sorrows behind

Citylights and Lovers
From my window i do see
Everything around me
Is dancing in the dark
Out on the highway into another start

Driving driving driving
Driving down the alley
Driving driving driving
Driving through the valley
I´m leaving leaving leaving
my sorrow behind

I see miles and miles
of brilliant stars
I see miles and miles
of a billion stars
above the highway
To another start
