Lost

a strange sensation
ran through me
I was at the station
I was knocked out
he had me beat

lost in my words
I tried to explain
wasn't it a mistake
I tried to plead

he wouldn't give in
didn't he love me
we had something goin'
goin' down well

but he was leaving
goin' out of town
throwin' my life to pieces
leavin' me hell

lost in my words
I felt the hurt
comin' on strong
my screams rang out

almost blew my mind
for all the lies
wasted my life
caught my breath

he finally went to
that pretty girl an' all
the one he loved best
leavin' me here

sheddin' no tears
my love was dying
the ashes were blown away
words...came back to me again

Night in the city

citylights they watch me
they give me fright
when I wander along
the banks of the river
they make me shiver
by their cold stare
that's all but there

follows me ev'ry where
whereever I go never
seem to leave me alone
alone in the streets that
give me their quietness
that give me their peace

I can hear them breath
I can hear them call for me
to walk in them
just for pleasure, just to please

I'm a city freak
I wander the streets
the streets show me
what I wanna see
I'm so very pleased
the streets call me
yes...
they really love me

what ever I see
they kept for me
all the murders
all the rapes
I see them happen
in a front row seat
again an' again

that's why I wander
wander at nightfall
'cause the Streets
are pleased to see me
wander them at their
darkside
wander them where
there are no city lights

Breathing

was breathing
my last breath
still had a couple o' sighs left
when suddenly an angel appears

with noiseless wings
comin' to show his love
comin' to take me away

I thought 'oh well'
there's no better place
where I can stay
and fly all day

took....my breath away !

Neglect

The plant had died, there was nothing he could do about it or could he. Water is esential to a plant he had denied it by neglect, no more no less. It had been beautifull once, it ended in a heap of missery trying to hold on to life in vain.

He had thrown it in the bin and thought no more of it, 'till one night its tentacles choked him in his bed. In the last moments of his presence he was amazed how much he admired to draw breath when there was none.

'Communication' a love story told in the lyrics of a song

It's been going on
for quite some while
we're not getting anywhere
it's only a waste of time
I can feel communication
getting rather thin
I can hear it break
while we're talking

It's a hard bit to chew
I know I have to
something I can't explain
emptiness crept in your voice
is just what I can't take
it used to be so different
full of laughter an' life

it's come to announcing
a straight statement
it's geting me deep inside
your hurting with those
irritated sighs
which can't hide
your interest is gone
out of sight

and I can hear it happen
line of communication
is getting rather thin
I try to keep it open
but I can hear it break
while we're talking

I can feel those
cold words touchin' me
its chill's surrounding me
with difficulty I anwer
it's not an easy one last call
so much there was to say
just hopin' to breath life
in to this conversation again

and I can hear it happen
line of communication''s
getting rather thin
I try to keep it open
but I can hear it break
while we're talking

we've come to the end
of a long hard struggle
where we took so many falls
I lost count
always hopin' to pull us together
never did I let my spirit down
never thought it was the last round
but by now I'm convinced
that last fall did us in

and I can hear it happen
line of communication's
getting rather thin
I try to keep it open
but I can hear it break
while we're talking
I can hear it fade
'till there's only the wind

There was thunder

 

 

 

 

 

a

 

woman can kill with so much

 

as

 

a

 

breath of love

 

a

 

woman

 

can kill with a look, love with an embrace

 

cry in the shade

 

a

 

woman

 

can kill with so much as a gentle touch

 

 

feel

 

the coldness of her arms, see the chill in her eyes

 

the

 

hate when she smiles, still she speaks of love

 

which

 

she

 

promissed but easily forgot

 

 

 

whatever

 

reason took her love, it wasn't completely lost

 

like

 

a

 

desease some of it never leaves, a faint  feeling remains

 

disturbing in fact, 'cause it doesn;t rest

 

 

always

 

a

 

stir a movement is there

 

she

 

knows it all too well, leaves her in despair

 

'cause

 

strong the hate, it's done in passion, love its name

 

 

 

her

 

strenght weakening, comin in for the kill

 

close to total surrender

 

there

 

was

 

thunder

Wonders of your life

when

 

I feel her breath upon my face

 

the

 

warmth of her body closin' in

 

settlin' down in my mind

 

 

I

 

know nothin' gonna change this feelin'

 

 

it's

 

my only chance of knowin' I'm alive

 

 

an' it;s comin' to me from over the mountains

 

 

where I live

 

 

through the trees on the wind

 

wanders down in to the valleys like a

 

heaven

 

 

an' yes,

 

your breath on my face is all I need

 

all I ask of you

 

 

live with me the wonders of your

 

 

life
