On the advise of my friends
I took some time to get away
Over the oceans to forget her
And think a few days
How could I have known
How fast her memory would fade
But I got caught in the magic
Of a night so far away
Could be a light of the Asian Moon?
Could be a song an old Asian Tune?
Lovely dark haired ladies and the words they say
A late night sail on a moonlit bay
Could be the stars in the Asian Sky
That got me flying and feelin' so high?
I never thought the hurt would heal so soon
Must be the light of the Asian Moon
That old moon cleared my mind
'Bout what's important to me
Now I want to live and love
And laugh that's all I need
Could be a light of the Asian Moon?
Could be a song an old Asian Tune?
Lovely dark haired ladies and the words they say
A late night sail on a moonlit bay (Save me, save me)
Could be the stars in the Asian Sky (Stars)
That got me flying and feelin' so high? (Stars in the sky)
I never thought the hurt would heal so soon
Must be the light of the Asian Moon
Could be a light of the Asian Moon? (Light)
Could be a song an old Asian Tune? (Could be a song)
Ooh, words they say
Save me, save me

Summer, you old Indian Summer
You
It has been raining
for so long
I have been praying
for a break in the storm
but in the thunder
I hear your name
and it takes me under
underneath all this pain
and I've got to get on with my life
but I don't know how
tell me...
[chorus]
how many rivers to cross
how many crosses to bear
how many miles till I get there
without you
I have been waiting
for so long
now this woman is saying
she can't wait anymore
no sound of thunder
no threat of rain
can keep me under
underneath all this pain
and I've got to get on with my life
but I don't know how
please tell me
repeat chorus
how many rivers to cross
how many crosses to bear
how many miles till I get there
Liebe Liebe komm zu mir
Ich hab` so Sehnsucht
Ich kann doch nichts dafür.
Liebe Liebe geh zu ihm
Sag ihm ich weine
und ich vermisse ihn
Liebe Liebe gib ihm einen Kuß
Sag ihm daß ich ihn
