The Gallery
Walking through the gallery
There are so many eyes to meet
Every mirror needs a face
Trap the mood in a frame
No, it isn’t real
It’s just something that you feel
That you feel
A fragile pose, a youthful gaze
Forever they will stay that way
Every story needs a frame
Every story is opaque
No, it isn’t real
It’s just something that you feel
That you feel
Flowers shooting from a vase
Frozen colours streaks of pain
In cityscapes the silence reigns
These written sounds they float in vain
The silhouette of naked trees
A golden touch of alchemy
Shining trough the autumn leaves
The slow decay of memories
No, it isn’t real
It’s just something that you feel
That you feel

Traveling Theme
The sun is up/ I wake up/ Where am I?/ I don’t mind
Feel all right/ When/ I’m on the road/ Again
Dry lips/ Take a sip/ Have a look/ Outside
Cars and trucks/ Pass by/ Last night’s / Lullaby
Brush my teeth/ With triple protection/ Now what more/Do I need
I’m not on the run
I’m chasing
The one
I’m not on the run
I’m chasing
The one
That I become
When I’m on the run
I’m the skin/ Skin I’m/ I’m the lips/ Lips that sing
A song/ The sound I make/ A wave / Waves that break
Time is gone/ Time is theirs/ It’s the life/ That they share
Not me/ Here I am/ I am near/ Closer than them
I’m not on the run
I’m chasing
The one
I’m not on the run
I’m chasing
The one
That I become
When I’m on the run
No one here/ For miles/ Around/
There is/ No distraction /To be found/
As I look/ Up above/ At the stars/ Shining bright
I realize/ That I owe/ This darkness/ To their light
As I look/ At the sea / And the sea/ Is facing me
I turn around /But it won’t turn with me
I’m not on the run
I’m chasing
The one
I’m not on the run
I’m chasing
The one
That I become
When I’m on the run

The Starlings
Slow rhyme
Glow time
Re wind
When did I dream about this?
Slow lines
Flow wild
Slow signs
Can’t get my head around this
I was in the centre
Of a quiet afternoon
The sun was sharing a pale blue sky
With an early moon
A cloud of starlings
Stretched out and disappeared
Caught myself thinking
Is this what I have feared?
Slow rhyme
Glow time
Re wind
When did I dream about this?
Slow lines
Flow wild
Slow signs
When did I dream about this?
I was on a journey
Through the yellow hills of doom
I was saying something
Or was I spoken to
I was on the verge of something
I thought I found the key
When a fleeting crowd of nothing
Stole it back from me
Slow rhyme
Glow time
Re wind
When did I dream about this?
Slow lines
Flow wild
Slow signs
When did I dream about this?

The Jungle
Like a little child in the jungle
You wander through my heart
You like the birds and you like the monkeys
You like the jaguar
But you don’t like the snakes and the spiders
You will lose your mind
Yes the snakes and the spiders
Are not very kind
You wander off the path
You stumble and you grasp
The very fatal branch
A spider on your hand
You start to scream and
Pray it’s just a dream
I could say I’ve told you so
But you don’t want to know
I could say I’ve told you so
But you don’t want to know
No you like to play
And then it is too late
Like Saint Peter walking on water
I am not afraid
Like Saint Peter I will go down
When I lose my faith
You tell me I can breathe under water
That is not the case
There’s lots to see under water
But you never see straight
You make me feel alive
I take another dive
You call me in the deep
You want me there for keeps
You like to play
And then it is too late

The Enemy

The Enemy
Well here you are
Back in the war
You thought you
Left behind
Down in the woods
The enemies
Like shadows
Multiply
No need to search
Your bitter heart
The time has come
To play the part
You know
So well
There’s no here
To help you out
They won’t know
What you mean
And maybe
Just by telling them
You’d show
The enemy
Where to enter
Through the fence
Your last pose
Of innocence
Un-
Veiled
The wind is blowing through the trees
The days to short the light’s to weak
You don’t like the thoughts you trace
They stare at you from every page
And in their eyes you clearly see
The movements of the enemy
And I don’t like it
Anymore then you
She’ll come to you
And give you back
The dreams you
Left behind
She never had the chance
To love
Someone
Of her kind
She’ll throw herself
Into your arms
And beaming
With her deepest charms
She’ll light
The way
She’ll tell you
You’re the only one
Although
You’re not the first
She’ll love you
Like the chosen one
Who quenches
Every thirst
She‘ll tell you
To forget the past
She’ll tell you
That her love will last
So Dream
With her
And when she finds herself at ease
She will slowly start to tease
You with her body, with her words
She’ll linger where she knows it hurts
And in her eyes you clearly see
The movements of the enemy
And I don’t like it
Anymore then you

Vanity
I don’t know what it is
You mistake me for
Do you want my Jesus?
Do you want my rock and roll?
I got to give you something
And I better do it quick
It all happens on the surface
And the surface must be slick
There is so much information
That I cannot unfold
Got to turn a blind eye
Or they call me paranoid
Still I’m haunted by these dreams
There is a tremor in my soul
I exorcise these demons
To invite them just once more
But…
Don’t I know very well?
You don’t need my honesty
Don’t I know very well?
That we deal in vanities
Sometimes when the voices
Have stopped to disagree
I sing away the darkness
And lose my gravity
Full of inspiration
When every breath is mine
I can’t help to wonder
Where was I all this time?
My father is in heaven
On this world he gave up
Father reigns in heaven
It’s a steady job
My mother runs a warehouse
It is stacked up till the roof
Mother runs a warehouse
Now she can hardly move
My brother is a servant
He works from nine to five
My sister she’s a merchant
She is selling daddy’s lies
My friends they all believe in something’
Oft they call it love
My friends they all believe in something
But something’s not enough
And I’m just like a lady
Who knows not what to wear
I’m just like a lady
I need that special care
But…
Don’t I know very well?
You don’t need my honesty
Don’t I know very well?
You can’t leave the family
When I was child
I walked by a mountain stream
The stones looked beautiful
So I took them home with me
As soon as I got back
I took them out
One by one
To my disappointment
The glow they had was
Gone
I’ve been driven by desire
I’ve been sick and I’ve been old
I’ve been dancing with my demons
I’ve been lost and I’ve been sold
I’ve been down and disconnected
I’ve been speeding down the road
I’ve been dining with the gods
I’ve been juggling with my load
I’ve been flirting with the love
With the love she gave to me
I’ve been nailing my Jesus
Up to my neighbour’s tree
But…
Don’t I know very well?
You don’t need my honesty
Don’t I know very well?
That I deal in vanities
Deep down in the ocean
Creatures live unknown
Can’t bring them to the light
For they will explode
All our deepest moments
We’ll take them to the grave
The truth won’t reach the surface
The sun won’t light the cave

Sleepy Eyes
Sleepy Eyes
Don’t talk with the other boys
Let me sing my way on down
To your heart
Sleepy eyes
I know you’re not ready for love
You want to see the world and just be free
But Sleepy Eyes
I’m just a loving fool
I’ll settle for a sweet memory
Don’t fear the morning
Will sober us up
I’ll cover these worries
I’ll sing you a song
Sleepy eyes
Come crawl into my world
Let me give you what
You think you don’t deserve
Sleepy eyes
I don’t need another drink
Let me take you home
Don’t let me wait too long
Don’t fear the morning
Will sober us up
I’ll cover these worries
I’ll sing you a song
Love
Runs free girl
Don’t hold it back
Because this or that
Don’t hold it back
Don’t you forget
Don’t hold it back
There’s only so much time we get
Come sip a little happiness
With me

A Trip For Two
Waking up together somewhere in the afternoon
The sound of playing kids coming from the nearby school
You make us some tea while I put a record on
There’s nothing here to harm us our world has just begun
On their favourite branch the pigeons sit and swoon
Every now and then the sun lights up our room
I hand you the honey when you ask me for a spoon
You wear my woollen sweater that’s far too big for you
And baby we can live this life forever
Yes baby we can dream or dreams whenever
As long as we can dream our dreams
As long as we can dream our dreams
As long as we can dream our dreams together
Walking down the streets with nothing special on our minds
On a train down south for a weekend out
Walking through the hills in the winter sun
We sit against a tree and smoke a little some
And baby…
Looking through the window of some second hand shop
We see Jesus crucified amidst the clockworks and the cups
A lady in her fifties dressed up all white
Steps out of her car like a fairy queen she strides
And baby…

Double, double
Double mind
Shadows talking
From behind
There is someone
Outside
In these old mirrors
We do meet ourselves
Lost in a distance
That we cannot spell
The sun will set
In colours wild
This world will sing
Your senses high
You’ll meet the one
Who’s there for you
You’ll speak of love
You’ll touch the truth
You’ll see the world
Unfold for you
But in every single slice of life
A part of you is left outside
In many dreams you will partake
But there’s always someone left awake
In these old mirrors
We do meet ourselves
Lost in a distance
That we cannot spell
The sun will set
In colours wild
This world will sing
Your senses high
You’ll meet the one
Who’s there for you
You’ll speak of love
You’ll touch the truth
You’ll see the world
Unfold for you
What’s right upfront is
Left behind
What’s left behind is
Right inside
What’s right inside is
Left outside
What’s left outside is
Right behind
