Once upon a time there lived in Turkey a pasha who had only one son, and so dearly did he love this boy that he let him spend the whole day amusing himself, instead of learning how to be useful like his friends.
Now the boy’s favourite toy was a golden ball, and with this he would play from morning till night, without troubling anybody. One day, as he was sitting in the summer-house in the garden, making his ball run all along the walls and catching it again, he noticed an old woman with an earthen pitcher coming to draw water from a well which stood in a corner of the garden. In a moment he had caught his ball and flung it straight at the pitcher, which fell to the ground in a thousand pieces. The old woman started with surprise, but said nothing; only turned round to fetch another pitcher, and as soon as she had disappeared, the boy hurried out to pick up his ball.
Scarcely was he back in the summer-house when he beheld the old woman a second time, approaching the well with the pitcher on her shoulder. She had just taken hold of the handle to lower it into the water, when—crash! And the pitcher lay in fragments at her feet. Of course she felt very angry, but for fear of the pasha she still held her peace, and spent her last pence in buying a fresh pitcher. But when this also was broken by a blow from the ball, her wrath burst forth, and shaking her fist towards the summer-house where the boy was hiding, she cried:
"I wish you may be punished by falling in love with the silent princess"

Maybe it's not the wind throwing you off your feet again
Could it be that the odds have your confidence wavering
You can blame it on fate, God, luck, ghosts or lunar phase
In the end what you make doesn't care what you say it is
The future is calling
You don't have to feel brave
Your fortune is constant
But your sight tends to sway
The future is calling
While you think it over
Maybe it's not a chance but yourself that you're waiting for
Don't consider the odds or the sound of a closing door
You can't blame it on fate, God, luck, ghosts or lunar phase
It's the risk that you take when you choose to stop playing safe

So many times I’ve heard
Promises of romance
But there’s something about you
that makes me believe in another chance
Can’t explain what I’m sensing
Every part of me trembling as
I feel that you’ve got through my defense
And I should know by now
To always touch the ground
But how I forget
Enchanted by your face
I’ve found my perfect place
So don’t wake me up
Don’t wake me up
Savoring every word
Snowflakes upon my tongue
Take your hand in mine
and our eyes building heat like the rising sun
As I swim in your ocean
I don’t even look back to the shore
We embrace underwater
and now I’m not drowning anymore
Is this a shadow pathway
Is this a mirror image
I don’t care in your arms I could stay here forever

Yesterday and tomorrow
Now feels sudden and strange
I was your every day
But then you just walked away
It's silent, silent and grey
Silent, silent, silent and grey
Silent

I can't stop thinking of you
I swear it's true
I just can't help it
I just can't take
One second far from you
Tell me if you feel it too
Just tell me you feel it too
and I'll be alright

Clad in the beauty of ten thousand stars, he murmured to himself: “Surely a form so rare was never meant to live without a soul” and forthwith he prayed with all his might that life should be breathed into it.
And his prayer was heard, and the beautiful statue became a living girl.
The student would never have thought of praying that she might be given a soul had not the tailor drawn attention to her loveliness by the robe which he put upon her, answered the prince, who guessed what he was expected to say, and they soon set up quite a pretty quarrel.
Suddenly the princess quite forgot her vow of silence and cried loudly:
"How could she belong to any one but the student? If it had not been for him, all that the others did would have gone for nothing! Of course it was he who married the maiden!"
And as she spoke the seven veils fell from her, and she stood up, the fairest princess that the world has ever seen.

Time is ticking so slowly
Like I'm trapped in this hourglass
Caught in the past
No regrets here but every move that I make
Makes me feel like I'm on blast
Think that you can ever show me
You don't even really know me
Never paid attention to the slightest thing I need
Now the doors are way past closing
And my path already chosen
I'm so numb that I can't breathe
I'm living lifeless
Just snap me out of this
Now you struggle as I sign off
Only want what you don't have
It's just bad math
Thought we were best friends
But it's a one way street and you know that it can't last

Can't you see
Falling apart each day
Still I want you to stay
Fire

Tonight I'm yours
The pulse of a city
beating in our hearts
When you find
what makes you feel alive

Never read between the lines
Just follow what your heart is telling you
A fire burning brough this pasion
A prison, oh, but please don't set me loose
Cause I never feel such preassure
and you've said you feel it too
Hard to think those nights since our meet
When we fall
When we fall into each other
When I fall into you

Lay me down on the shore
The waves are crushing over me
Lay me down
Crushing, crushing
