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

'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

your song

 

 

 

 

night and day I hear your song

 

it is not that far away must come from a distant sea

 

an' I miss the song you whisper to me

 

it contains a promise I will see you again

 

but I have to wait it's been a long time

 

since you've gone away

 

 

an' I miss the song you whisper to me

 

those words keep floating to me

 

it makes me feel you're still with me

 

where ever you are it thrills me

 

 

I know some day I'll hear them again

 

I'll be there whispering the same words

 

you whispered to me and I'll be with you

 

as

 

always

Forever changing

 

 

 

winds

 

are

 

 forever changing,

sweeping across the nations

 

blowing

 

a

 

war in to its creation

 

winds are forever changing

 

 

winds

 

are

 

forever changing

 

 

bringing words of a down fall

 

bringing words of damnation, bringing word of a truce

 

 

winds

 

are

 

forever changing
 

 

 

still the winds do blow, sweep all over the land

 

people rise to its tune, taking a world to its doom

 

leaving trouble in the sand

 

 

winds

 

are

 

forever changing

 

 

times are forever changing

 

rubbing out old things, bringing in the new

 

winds are blowing all the same

 

they

 

will always change, always be on time

 

a

 

war

 

will

 

always be on the rise

 

 

clouds will bring in the rain, givin' its battle to mankind

 

where its flames are brought to life, by a terrible gust of wind

 

 and

 

ashes

 

are

 

left to frighten,

where nobody think's he's  staying

 

 

the

 

winds

 

they

are

forever changing

Blues

 

 

 

 

i

 

love the night life, in the dark corners

 

and

 

shades of night, where we find a piano playin

 

the

 

piano blues, bluer than life it self

 

 

 

 

driven

 

 

by 

 

a

 

burning ambition

 

leadin me in to temptation, with those haunting melodies

 

 

bound

 

by

 

dark desires

 

she's no hunter, she lets me go, blues surround her old piano

 

 

the

 

lights have an pale old glow

 

smoke cuts through shady places, like a wall hard to see through

 

 

blues

 

were never that good

 

whatever the menue, it's the blues

 

whatever her fancy it is to be blue

 

 

her

 

melodies ar rich in words and lonely without them

 

she

 

gives them het attention when she plays her piano

 

softly, teasing,  sometimes even a rising gale

 

 

she

 

takes what's on the menue, she lives under a blue moon

 

she

 

has the blues in a tight embrace, she loves the blues like her

 

own

 

sweet old lace

 

she's always in a blue

 

 haze

Words

 

words

 

have many ways

 

of

 

showin' how they feel

 

once spoken they're not shy of bein' rude

 

or

 

just a lie

 

 

but somewhere along the line

 

they're not satisfied with our yesterday

 

they speak to me about you words I allready knew

 

 

bein' our yesterdays news

 

an'

 

I don't mind your lies

 

'cause

 

nowadays it's all we have, they have no place to hide

 

but

 

when I speak it's for real

 

 

my words show how I feel, no second guesses there

 

 

an'

 

I share them with you

 

you may not like it  but I share with you

 

 

 

the

 

 

truth

 

 

 

(c)  JR.  2017

Just the feelin'

there are no words, you're one of a kind

 

one above questioning, there you were

 

ginvin' strenght, hope and dignaty

 

when it was needed, you were

 

a rock to depend on

 

 

 

a listener, counceler, my lover and friend

 

my friend

 

without helping it happened

 

I still wonder how it did

 

would it be friend

 

 

I could have no better, still  I value your qualities

 

I treasure your love and kindness, it wasn't waisted

 

I'm gratefull for the time you spend on me

 

but

 

things are as they are, feelings change

 

I wish they hadn't, had to admit they did

 

I changed a mystery to me, all I needed you had

 

 

just

 

the feelin' lacked
