    Hey there! So this is my debut album 'Storytelling Piano Playing Fräulein' and recently the rights went back to me and since there were a few copies left in stock I got hold of those and can now sell them to you guys directly here! It's a really nice CD not in a easy to break jewel case but in a lovely cardboard case with photos, all lyrics included and in high quality print with lovely artwork and illustrations by me, packed in shrink-wrap. Brand new to YOU!

lyrics

I wish I were a photographer so I could picture
How beautiful you are
All you'd have to do is what you always do
Just standing there, aren't you?

But I am faster, I'm running ahead
You're only by my side when I need to rest
I am faster, I'm running ahead
What is it that draws you back?

The problem is, you got my back
The problem is, you held me up
The problem is, looking at you now means
Looking back

You got the L and the O and the V and the E
And now that makes LOVE
I juggle the whole alphabet
From mountain to valley, from ocean to sea
I am faster, I'm running ahead
You're only by my side when I need to rest
I am faster, I'm running ahead
What is it that draws you back?

The problem is, you got my back
The problem is, you held me up
The problem is, looking at you now means
Looking back

Have we met too early?
Or are you just running into another direction
Away from me? Will we meet later?
