Heart Of Stone
Mother are you dumb
Or unable to overcome
Your daughter is loosing a son
Is it you, is it me having a heart of stone
Mother stop to cry
While your children are waiting in line
Give up your do-or-die
You are shifting the blame
Insisting on faint-hearted lies
So many tragedies in so many family lines
Will we get over these damages and water it down
Heart of stone
Father get off
Your high horse you’ve been there enough
You ride for a fall
Not to feel the big hole in the place where there should be being loved
So many years imply so many means to move on
Will it be for the rest of our lives everyone on his own
Maybe the deal that we’ve made isn’t that bad
At least no more fight for a change but buy what we have
Being mother and father doesn’t give you the right to press for submission and moan
About all that you’ve sacrificed and all that you’ve lost and not knowing what you have done
Heart of stone

Do Better This Time

Do Better This Time
It was not the fault of my lover
We just needed, we needed each other
So that both of us could find
Yeah, what was right in front
And what was left behind
Looks like
For me I had to face bitter feelings again
When I left someone who needed my hand
And do better this time
It was not all the way out of my hands
It was hard to get past with our past in command
How can we put up with damage done
It’s time to take a stand
Get this down and move on
For her who knows, who knows
For her who knows, who knows
But
Maybe she had to face bitter feelings again
When someone left her in bad fairyland
And do better this time
It was not the fault of my lover

The Trouble I’m In
I’m in heavy rage about what she’s done to you
Keeping you encaged never let go
And when she drops off you are begging for more
I don’t really know how you witness this yourself
From an inside view each time you’re out-of-shelf
Have another pull and tell me what for
I’ve had a hard time to be the good guy
Cause I’ve seen so much trouble in your eyes
And I’ve had a hard time to see good in them
And that ain’t all of the trouble I’m in
Over and over again
What are we waiting for
Over and over again
All the same
Will we defy
And this spirit keeps kicking you back
To the time before you already came unstuck
And it’s poisoning us to no-win
And that ain’t all of the trouble I’m in

How Can There Be Love

How Can There Be Love
It's not what I want
It's not my desire
But there's something going on
We can't deny
It's hard enough
If you force a proof of my love
And it's harder though to force the proof that I don't
When it all will crumble into dust
Before we build it up
When it's never ever good enough
How can there be love
How can I rely on things you say
When you will change your mind before long
No we won't change anything if not ourselves
It's such a weary way
To get along
You don't know what you feel
And you don't feel what you want
No you won't get satisfied
Turning it back-to-front
That's the way we will spread the disease
We didn't learn to deal with
Do we really have to pass it on
On to the precious one we're with
Why should I have another go and change the key
When I know you would change the lock
After all the keys that were given no chance to fit
They were merely made up
To get stuck
How can there be love

Pale Moon Rising
There's a pale moon rising in the darkest sky
In the back of your mind
You can't change the way you feel to put it right
And it burns everything inside
When you choose between long gun or knife
And you wish to be someone elses wife
When you feel that this life's not your own
Tear it down
There's a pale moon rising on the other side
You will see through the eyes of a child
Let me take you for a ride
Let me take you for a ride
And when you feel on top
And still don't want to stop
Build it up
Build it up
When you take a close look at your friends
And you realize this bitter end
When you wish that time is up to come
Tear it down
Tear it down

Lost Descendant
I’m one of the lost descendants
My fate in the will of god
Recalling my dependants
I’ve lost them in the flood
Let tears fall on the fire
Flaring it up to a blazing flame
Fueling my desire
Let it drop till it falls like rain
Flickering higher like gasoline
Let tears fall on the fire
I’ve broken down the border
To get to the Holy Land
I’m out there in the nowhere
While you fear I could gain the upper hand
Let tears fall on the fire
Flaring it up to a blazing flame
Fueling my desire
Let it drop till it falls like rain
Flickering higher like gasoline
Let tears fall on the fire
Let tears fall on the fire

Hooked On You
Taken by surprise
I couldn’t leave my hands off you
It felt so good inside
Head to toe, through and through
You make loving fun
I wish I’m never coming down
You make me a man-about-town
Now you know I’m hooked on you
Nothing else I’d rather do
Craving when you’re gone
Missing to be sensuous
Apply to things undone
They don’t mean a thing to us
They don’t understand
I’m walking on quicksand
Until you’re kissing me again
And I am on a one way avenue
Now you know I’m hooked on you
Nothing else I’d rather do
From the first time on I knew
Until the last time it is you
Cause I can’t get enough of you

The Better Man
Don't be sad I'm your Romeo
Your true lover and troubadour
And I will sing and I will dance
How could I know
You were mother I was child
How could I save you
Make it all allright again
But for you I tried
To be the better man, the better man, the better man
And I’m longing to hear I am, hear I am, here I am
I will touch your skin so solemnly
With words so gentle that you beleive
Your Pied Piper will take you away
He's got no clue
Just how beautiful you are
So let me show you
For your love you need no guardian
And for to turn you on baby
You need a better man, a better man, a better man
And I'm longing to think I am, think I am, think I am
Let me be the better man, the better man, the better man
'Cause I'm longing to hear I am, hear I am, here I am

Avalon
Just like back when we were young
You talk about your Avalon
I sit still and hang on every word
I build on your experience
Your knowing and your precedence
A miracle that is condemned to work
And when it comes to shed a tear
Ain't it good to know you are here
The creed that bonding is a fight
A suit of armor shields the knight
I've always thought at least I came off the best
I never had to renegade
You stood and took the cannonade
While I could get up and join the quest
Ain't it true, we are defiled
Like the unwanted child
I feel naked and revealed
Speak the word and my soul shall be healed
Ain't it good to stand where we stand
We're no crackers, we are brand
We provoke with our demand
To lay it on the line
Knowing that it's gonna hurt
Masochism is the word
Due to you I've never been alone
On my way back to Avalon

Does Anybody Know

Does Anybody Know
Have you found a home more like you
Better than the one you had
Found someone to guide you
Further on your way to where the circle ends
Did you feel the pain, did you have to suffer
Or just wake up to another dream
Did you wait for your mother
Like in your early days to come and bring relief
Does anybody know
How hard it is to let go
You would drink in life like you had a premonition
There is no time to be misspent
Did you live up to your vision
Does anybody give a damn about it in the end
Does anybody know
How hard it is to let go
Did you call your mum on the same kind of wire
You used before you've learned to use your tongue
Your first and your last desire
After all those years she was the chosen one
What a way you let her know
How hard it is to let go
So hard to let you got

One Two Three

One, Two, Three
You have learned to walk
You have learned to talk
You have learned to count to three and hopefully on me
You have been through schools
You have learned their rules
Once you've met your buckaroo you've learned that one and one's not two
It is one for the money
It is two for the show
It is three for your wedding
And then it's go, go, go
One, Two, Three
Is elementary
And sometimes higher mathematics
One, Two, Three
One, Two, Three
You've got primability
Like a prime number undevided
That's what you should be
You have had your share
In family affairs
Here I stand your worst example
God, I am aware
You have made your choice
It's you and two cowboys
May the spirit of today blow every block out of your way
It is one for the money
It is two for the show
It is three for your wedding
And then it's go, go, go
One, Two, Three is elementary
And sometimes higher mathematics
One, Two, Three
One, Two, Three
You've got primability
Like a prime number undevided
That's what you should be
One, Two, Three
You are such a boon to see
If you stay that way or change that number
Whatever it may be
If you stay that way or change that number
You can count on me
You just count to three
You can count on me

Anthony's Garden Munich, Germany
Singer-songwriter Joerg Mair counts on the wisdom of a pure folk-song reduced to its essentials. Dealing with love and hate,
personal and global crisis, the lyrics are the driving force of every song.
His Trio „Anthony’s Garden“ (Wolfgang Peyerl - drums, Markus Angeli - upright bass) runs in the folk-tradition of Stephen Stills, José González, Bon Iver, Nick Drake or Ry Cooder.
