Painless=less pain

walking down the streets of my youth
looking here and there for something
old not new

its laughter and pain come to my mind
yesterday's not always, a good thing to
look for and find

'cause your pain, will always become
more, than you'd ever left behind

so now, I'm wandering through my past
and still I miss that light, I then had it
disappeared and left me over night

never to reclaim its right, to shine again
so very bright, a thing of the past, a lot
of pain, a lot of what I never had

but now, shifting through the leafs of time
now I find, my pain has become more or less
less paimless, now I can shine agian, maybe
so very bright, somewhere in time

Just another room

I'm travellin' down the road

sellin' my stuff wherever I go

I'm good at it somethin' I do well

takes me to remote places 

sometimes that little out of the way

still I enjoy it at the end of the road

just another room where I stay

the same girl with the same smile

the same innocent eyes asks:' will I stay

all night ' yes, it is I know what to expect

when I go up she's lying in my bed in 

just another room a new mornin' arrives 

she's gone happens all the time

I pay my bill hoot my horn leave

the place another day on the road

another day of what I do well

in the end just another room
where I rest well

And I know you do

and again you've gone leaving me
all the good things inside of you yet
the best thing in you, you didn't leave
the best thing in you is you and me

and you must go, as you must, you must
go, you have my trust, go to that place in
time, live there for a while spend some
time on yourself, resting your weary mind

as I know you worry a lot, to where we are
and...are not, and you will be gone for some
time, walking the earth somewhere, with me
wondering , what you're doing so far away
in exile

and I'll never know the reason 'why' and yet...
I'll never need to, 'cause you're coming back
all smiles, having made up your mind, about
all that it is you desire

'cause whatever you do, I will always be
that what it is you need and...
I know you do

A fairytale

once upon a time there were
those happy people who cared
for each other

for their values and rules that
were fair, they lived the good
life

where the young took care of
the old and the old shared the
knowledge of life they had

now a change had come to them
where the old were just old and
the young they didn't care

and yet didn't see or did see but
this change had come to be
complete

still thinkin' it was the best they
had its foundation crumpled and
left them livin' the lie

of a fairytale, livin' the life of
something that was no longer
there

actually this fairytale it has no
happy end their civilization
it died overnight

sadly there is no one left to
know it was even ...there !
