yesterdays

 when tomorrow has chosen no longer to be

and the night can't be bothered to show

and all you have is your yesterdays

it's good to know your yesterdays

will always show

My Love

my love was a love for someone I could not have 

my love was a love for someone who didn't know

I did poses this love I had

and my love was a reality, my reality did reject

a realistic yet to me an unrealistic reason, causing a pain

I did not want to have

but then again reality kicked in and kept me in check

There's no tomorrow

no yesterday, no daybreak, no incoming night

there's only you

Tomorrow

Tomorrow's a fool who couldn't speak the truth

van de morgen kan je niet verwachten

dat ze steeds hetzelfde is

soms is ze een dwaas

die de waarheid

niet spreekt

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a fool, who couldn't speak the truth.

Vertaling:

van de morgen kan je niet verwachten dat ze steeds
hetzelfde is, soms is ze een dwaas, die de waarheid
niet spreekt.

Shade of loveliness

and when I see her walking
in the early hours of the morning
through the fields of our yesterdays
with the shine of a new tomorrow
in her eyes I can only sigh

it is when I love her innocence the most
walking through our morning's haze into
the brightness of a coming day wondering
what life will bring when our future finds
its self where our hearts sigh

and when I see her walking in the early hours
of this morning with a breeze running through
the darkness of her hair I know it is that shade
of loveliness I want to share

Collecting

collecting things through out my life
tires me so, I'll leave you tomorrow
collecting one ev'ry day, is why I give
them away

they give me all the challenge I need
working the roads collecting one ev'ry day
I know you'll wear it well, tomorrow a dry bell
poppin' in the wind, jumpin' the gun when I fell

must slow down again, stop payin' the game
start givin' tomorrows away
I must I'm a prime suspect, I'm losin' trust
they're just an inch away at knowin'

I collect tomorrows ev'ry day
collectin;  things through out my life
I'll leave you tomorrow, wear it well
without a lie

Wear it well

collecting things
throughout my life
tires me so
I'll leave you tomorrow
collecting one ev'ry day
is why I give them away

They give me
all the challenge I need
working the roads
collecting one ev'ry day
I know you'll wear it well

tomorrow a dry bell
poppin' in the wind
jumpin' the gun
when I fall
must slowdown again
stop playin' the game
start givin' tommorows
away

I must
I'm a prime suspect
I'm losing trust
they're just an inch away
at knowing I collect tomorrows
ev'ry day

collecting things
throughout my life
I'll  leave you tomorrow
wear it well without a lie
