Wat ooit is geweest

nu je dan toch weer weg gaat
weer op weg naar dat nieuwe
mij opnieuw achteloos,
achterlaat

op weg naar iets dat niet bestaat
neem je zonder dat je het weet
elke keer steeds meer van mij mee

iets dat je wel wilt, maar niet kan vergeten
iets dat maar niet vergaat of wil verbleken
dat wat je altijd weer terug brengt naar wat
je dacht...dat ooit is geweest

Kinderen van 't licht

wij...
zijn de kind'ren van 't licht

onze...
lach schalt door het bos

hij...
blijft hangen tussen z'n bomen

waar...
we liefhebben in zijn schaduw

en...
onze duisternis zich altijd weer
oplost

Aandacht

ik vecht er voor, voor
die aandacht van haar
die is mijn

en...
zij neemt mij mee op
die reis naar de rand
van haar emoties in
de coulissen van
haar geest

en...
ik, neem haar mee

zij vecht er voor
voor die aandacht
die is mijn

we gaan er voor, voor
die aandacht in elkaar...

Achteloos

en ik
ik was mijn vader's komaf

hij
was mijn verleden, ik zijn toekomst
die hij achterliet

en ik
ik ben jouw komaf
en ik
ik ben jouw verleden

en jij
mijn toekomst die ik achterlaat

en ik
ik ben jouw komaf die zo achteloos
aan je voor bij gaat

Eyes

eyes
are the face
they're stone cold blue
and they're staring straight at me

lookin into mine
I'm amazed, thrown
into their pit o' fire

they make me smile
oh yes, those stone cold blue eyes
just a miracle

untill my amazement
changed into its wondering

de roos

de roos kracht,
passie en kleurenpracht
ontvangen uit een hand
met liefde omgeven

symbool van een nieuw leven

de roos
is, zal altijd
in iedere en elke gedachte
voortleven

carried burdens

on a lazy Sunday afternoon
as I was walking along the river
I noticed the sun low in the sky
getting near the end of the day

so peacefull, gracefulle dying
at that moment I became restful
burdens, carried on my shoulders
seemed to leave me for a while

I sensed suddenly, nature took a rest
it took its time, leisurely came the night
and I melted down with the Universe
exploring the stars, lighting up the sky

a calm had fallen upon me at midnight
I was alone, at peace down by the riverside
I realised, this was really the way to live
took a deep breath feeling so right

the water, calmly broke on to the banks
I heard the cricket play its song
a rowboat was lying there on its side
rolled it over and set out on the river

I never  felt so at ease rowing the boat
my worries had dropped into the rriver
slowly I was getting there to my little heaven
and when I reached it I recognised it

it was early in the morning at dawn
I returned to the bank of the river

left the boat in the place where it belonged
and...
walked the path back through the village

finally I had found the pace of life
never was I to carry burdens again
they had vanished at midnight on
the river

Alles of niets

alles of niets
niets is een leeg gegeven

een gegeven

waarvan niets is over gebleven

iets

het geeft zoveel meer
verstand

iets waar je van leert

hoe je het dan ook 

wend of keert
alles of niets

het,...

 

geeft je toch wel iets

zweven

tijdloos zweven we voort
in het niets dat ons toebehoort

drijven we op de rand van eeuwigheid
met schitteringen omlijst dorstig naar
meer en meer strijken we
in deze oase neer

drinken uit de beker van 'oneindigheid'
vallen in een overvloed van tederheid

overspoeld door emoties duiken we
in een vijver van stilte zinken in de
schoot van 't leven om uiteindelijk

onze vrucht te geven

I see sunshine

lookin' into the distance
I see a shape vaguely comin' towards me
with each step, it becomes more an' more familiar
an'... I realise what it is

her smile touches my mornin' sky
her eyes lock into mine,,,I see sunshine
an' we talk an' talk, all those things of the past
our thoughts aline...we're fine

somewhere distant...I hear a clock beckoning me, rise
I wake up an' really...I see sunshine

Where time has no say

time the essence of life is runnnin' out of time
and there's nothing I can do to change its mind
my time is runnin' out of its time

and it's an angel's lie thinkin' time has no end
thinkin' there's angels 'round the next bend
thinkin' heaven's where rainbows end

and immortality's just a place where  angels play
and heaven has no end, it is where time ends where
immortality flies on the wing, high, and time
has no answer where Love resides

where Love stares you straight in the face
with closed eyes and as time shows no mercy
in its ending it has no say over where 'Love Eternal'
flies on the wing high

Doomsday

rundown, exhausted and spent
I'm lying on my back kickin'...
against the walls of my misfortune

know the feelin' ?

when your mind's out of breath
and breathing weighs heavy
on your chest

and your heart's poundin' away
waitin' for its Doomsday

that's the feelin'

time to make up your mind
listen to the signs, listen and
maybe you're in time

fallin' an inch short of the finish
story of my life

Dollmaker

I walked the street on
a Friday afternoon when
it happened

people shyed away
heard them whisper
Dollmaker's here again

He rounded the corner
wearin' his cloak
of wealth an' honor

richness lay in his strides
he had come to collect his
outstanding debt

he went from door to door
collected more an' more
untill one could not pay

there he would take a\way
the beauty of the house
to square the debt away

he took them home
to his house of dreams
where they could be unreal

they would sit very still
and they don't move at will
these dolls were his only thrill

he had loved dolls all his life
ever since he was a child
promissed himself when he grew up

to have his own collection to admire
so he did, no one was to know his dolls
were to be the living thing on show

Side of the road

I'm standin' here at the side of the road
with people passin' by leavin' their cares
and worries here... at the side of the road

where I'm standin' , with a weary, worried
and troubled mind, with its emptiness
its loneliness  here... at the side of the road

and they pass me by, with their happy faces
smilin' goin' to their happy places and
they  leave me their blues here...
at the side of the road

where I'm  standin' with my weary, worried
and troubled mind and I know it will be some
time before I will travel yet...
another mile

Relivin' the past

I still think of the place
where I had sown my seed
so far back it is

it's more like a distant memory
I had more than one love there
I gave them more than their share

I left my mark on that moment in time
they'll always remember me there
I left something behind

I can't put my finger on it
I don't know what it is but
those long forgotten days

I wish they were back again
with all the loves that loved me
again close to me

I can hear their laughter
smell their manly scent
God, wish I was back again

one was there that did me in
I got hooked on him as he came in
Brucy baby, still remember your name

one of a kind you were, I could barely leave
I left you, my freedom meant that much to me
it's th only mistake I ever made

I should have stayed, given her a name
the reason being all too obvious in a way
but my rise to fame got in the way
can't we relive the past in some way
