Lyrics and Music by Ayala Asherov

Like the river I’m flowing
Like its water I run,
Like a leaf on the water,
When the summer has gone.
Like the wind that is blowing
I’m Traveling so light,
And gently caressing
When the moment is right.

Well, this is me, it’s who I am!
You’d better not let go
I’ll spread my wings and fly high,
Ye, well this is me…

Like a Mountain that crumbles
Like a fallen down rock,
When it’s cold, I grow silent,
Like a moment that’s dark.
Like a lone ray of sun,
I’m just shedding some light,
Then vanishing slowly
Till after the night.

Well this is me, it’s who I am!
You’d better not let go
I’ll spread my wings and fly high,
Like a bird I will soar,
Leaving you forevermore.
With the light, I’ll fade to black, Drifting by, taking off
And I’ll never come back…

Lyrics and Music by Ayala Asherov

Climbing up a mountain top,
Across the river she won’t stop,
In the name of love.

Words they never teach in school,
& she’s breaking all the rules
In the name of love.

An aging silvery moon is watching you,
Singing, in the name of love.
Lights up the stage for you, He even follows you,
While you sing the song of love.

As for me, I’m weary, I won’t run. X2

The wind plays in her hair,
She runs barefoot everywhere.
In the name of love.

Yes, she will take a fall,
She’ll try anything at all,
In the name of love.

And the weeping willow tree
Will give you shelter.
When you, in the name of love,
Come and sing your song,
Longing for the summer,
Hoping it’ll bring a brand new love.

As for me, I’m weary, I won’t run. X2

Lyrics and Music by Ayala Asherov

His time is nearly over and
His nights are bare it is autumn.
A bittersweet wine now and then,
All the stars stand still, they’re frozen.
Old devil moon won’t say a word,
His light shines on he keeps on looking.
A shadow falls upon his world,
When suddenly she goes by, just a walking.

So hand in hand, they dance real slow,
The city lights are inviting.
She’s got time, his heart is all aglow,
She yearns for more, love is exciting.
It’s midnight and the clock strikes twelve,
She knows the time has come she has to leave now.
He’s left confused all by himself
With the autumn, bittersweet wine and the sadness.

And he is in love.
And his soul cries out to touch her.
And he is in love,
Writing songs for her,
It’s the only way he knows, and it shows.

His time is nearly over and…
As she, is counting minutes, when…
The waves rush to the shore a kiss,
The high and low tides are colliding.
Their love depends upon the scene,
That keeps on sailing, rearranging, ever changing.
And he is in love…
And his soul cries out to touch her.
And he is in love,
Writing songs for her

It’s the only way he knows, and it shows.

Lyrics and Music by Ayala Asherov

Could be that you don’t even exist,
And I have imagined you here, at the least.
So I can, when I’m sad,
Talk to someone who cares.
It is an illusion, well you’re not really there.

It’s only love, in the dark, way back when,
That reminds me you are here now and then.
That you’re not a spirit, neither fire nor a ghost.
When I’m the least, you are the most.

Could be that you are not even mine,
Maybe I just think you’re real and that’s fine.
You know how to touch me,
When the pain won’t subside.
You know me so well and you make my heart moves inside.

It’s only love, in the dark, way back when.
That reminds me you are here now and then.
That you’re not a spirit, neither fire nor a ghost.
When I’m the least, you are the most.

Lyrics and Music by Ayala Asherov

Should you ever go- I’m broken,
When you’re not around- I cry.
If the tide’s too high
I’ll hold on till we die.
Should you ever leave- it’s autumn
Aching everywhere- a storm,
Your journey is complete
I’m taking you home.

We’ll fly away
We’ll learn to play.
You’ll be my king,
Just for a day.
I’ll be your dancer,
It’s just us two,
My love is so true.

‘T is a drought when you are silent,
A wasteland when your voice runs dry,
Then suddenly you’re free
Like raindrops from the sky.
Running wild, an endless river
Fields of gold, the deep blue sea,
Hold me closer still,
I need you with me.

We’ll fly away…

I promise we can beat the darkness,
Run against the wind, we’re strong.
Peaceful easy feeling, we can’t go wrong.
Let us not forget forever
That together is divine.
Remember, I am yours for always, be mine!

Lyrics: Avraham Halfi
Music by Ayala Asherov

Innocence, we’ve lost,
Tears, we never cared for,
Night stares into our lives,
Its grey head takes a bow.
Death, a faceless smile
We hungered for its nectar,
Brings distant memories,
Of nicotine and tar.

Spaces filled with ashes,
Grey dawn from a distance.
Ruthless, cold, the dawn is
Heartless, nearly dead.
In autumns such as this one
Night becomes a morning,
‘T was the same way yesterday
And the day before.

That’s why we don’t care much
Apathy’s our anthem.
We are just like paupers
We don’t have a thing.
Virtue, we’ve not known,
Just let us bless the silence,
With our voices nearly stilled.

Spaces filled with ashes,
Grey dawn from a distance.
Ruthless, cold, the dawn is
Heartless, nearly dead.
In autumns such as this one
Night becomes a morning,
‘T was the same way yesterday

And the day before.

Lyrics and Music by Ayala Asherov

If you were here
I bet you would cry
For all those who fight,
For all those who die.

And if you were here
I bet you’d admit,
It isn’t what you’ve always prayed for
And this darkness won’t quit.

The boy we got up for at night,
Can no longer sleep now.
The shelters, the smoke and the fright,
Please God! Make it sane,
We don’t want to wipe tears again.

And if you were here
I bet you would say
It isn’t what you knew once,
Sure is different today.
If you were here,
You wouldn’t understand,
Why so many go to war now
But they never will return.

There are children, lie awake in the night,
They can no longer sleep now.
If they could only believe, or at least try,
Please God! Help us cope,
We Don’t want to give up our hope.

Lyrics: Avraham Halfi

I shell call you: My love,
Call your name my true love,
Till the last trembling beat of my heart.

If your name is a tale I won’t sigh,
I don’t mind all the sins, all the lies
Blessed he who goes drunk in rhyme,
Crossing all seven chambers of time.

The most beautiful grassland you’ve seen,
Meadows kissed by the sun, evergreen.
And forevermore weary vagabonds
Will rejoice, they will dance, and sing,
Kneeling down by a brook, to drink.

Let me say, my true love,
Let me say, my true love,
Never have I loved, quite this way.

And the stars will sing sweet songs of love,
Heavenly sounds from above.
So please help us pray,
Please give us this day,
Show your kindness and we’ll find the way.

The most beautiful grassland you’ve seen,
Meadows kissed by the sun, evergreen.
And forevermore weary vagabonds
Will rejoice, they will dance, and sing,
Kneeling down by a brook, to drink.

I shell call you: my love,
Call your name, my true love.

מילים:אברהם חלפי
לחן:אילה אשרוב

לך אקרא: אהובה.
לך אקרא: אהובה עד אחרון פרפורי מאדי.
לך אמר: אהובה,
לא אהבתי כך מעודי.

אם יאמרו לי כי שמך בדוי,
לא אכה על בדיה ועל חטא.
אשרי העובר שתוי
את שבעת מדורי העת.

תמיד פה העשב יצמח,
יעלה ויוריק בשדות.
ותמיד, תמיד
הצמא ישמח
בכרעו על מעין לשתות.

וישרו כוכבים כניגון
מנגן לעיננו מעל.
איך לא נתפלל אז: רחום וחנון,
אל נא שעריך תנעל

Lyrics and Music by Ayala Asherov

Maybe you think of it just once in awhile,
When the wind is blowin’, it’s too cold to smile
Many children are born others die all alone,
I’m no longer a babe I feel it in my bones.

Like the world around me, I’m still looking for love,
Lots of people hurtin’, even angels above.
No more shedding tears, for the lonely and blue
When I’ve other better things, I could do.

Maybe you can hide it now and again,
That you really like her, want to be her man.
But the sky could be falling and you wouldn’t go near,
‘Cause you’re here with me you’re so worried, it’s clear.

Maybe you desire it I think that you do,
But you’re not quite sure, afraid you’ll hurt, it’s true
Afraid to touch me when it’s all I want,
Makes you somehow weak to feel close, so you don’t

And the world….

Lyrics and Music by Ayala Asherov

Tell me how
To dry away the endless tears,
Can you show me where else,
There’s a world, which has no fears,
I look around me,
Just illusions nothing’s real
So why then should I live my life?
If I can hardly feel.

No waves rush to shore,
There’s a whole world and more,
That is shattered to bits
By the water.
The ocean, the sea,
Not a wave do I see.
Broken world,
Grains of sand,
By the water.

Tell me how
To dry away those bitter tears,
Please tell me where else,
I could live without the fears.
When people rush to die
Like school kids love to play,
I’d run into the fire,
If they’d all come back today.

No waves…

Tell me how
Can you live with so much death.
Hiding the tears every night now,
Until your dying breath.
The fire that is calling me,
It’s only in my head.
And the one who disappeared
Will not come back, he’s simply dead.

No waves…
