Dode bladeren

de

 

hemel opent zich

 

stuurt een ademtocht, die hen streelt

 

misschien gaan ze weer dansen

 

maar

 

hij

 

vergeet

 

 

'dode bladeren'

 

dansen

 

niet

 

zijn zucht is tevergeefs

The stranger

 

 

 

 

 

 

see

 

the stranger come down the hill

 

he

 

lets the horse find its way at its own will

 

gently, the stranger leads it on, 'till he comes down and sees

 

the

 

people look at him

 

 

 

he's

 

from far away and thirsty up to this day

 

but

 

first the horse quenches his thirst

 

he's

 

a

 

stranger in a new world

 

 

 

the

 

people are anxious to hear the news

 

they

 

don't hear much in this out of the way place

 

he's

a

carpenter with gentle man's ways they can see that right away

 

and

 

he tells them stories of the old world

 

where once he stayed

 

and

 

they are pleased to have acknowledged they did the right thing

 

to

 

go

 

away

 

 

the

stranger is given a meal and asked to stay

 

but

 

he says he has too many stories to tell to too many people

 

he

 

has to be on his way

 

so he mounts his horse ande the carpenter with the gentleman's ways

 

rides of in to the distance

 

and

 

fades

 

away

Seasoned man

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've

 

 seen many seasons come and go

 

seen winters die, summers grow

 

I'm

 

a

 

man of many seasons

 

 

love

 

found me once and went by

 

lasted 'till the end of summer

 

she went where the sun never sets

 

I

waved and never saw her again

 

a

 

midsummernights dream it was

 

 

 

the

 

hurt stayed with me many seasons

 

I never quite recovered from the pain

 

it

 

forever reminded me of her name

 

she stayed with me in my heart

 

she

 

 took posession of a big part

 

it's

 

been many seasons since

 

and

 

all I hear now is the wind

 

it

 

lives in the trees near me

 

I

 

form an image of her to see

 

but many seasons went by

 

life got a meaning again

 

it

 

now is an old memory that died

 

I'm

 

a

 

man

 

that saw mamy seasons

prey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

we're hunted prey

 

 

locked in to position

 

he's

 

 lookin down the barrel

 

a

 

kill in the making

 

 

he's a loner, doesn't care

 

it's how he lives

 

malicious,

 

cold

 

 

no feelings, has clarity, never asks why

 

a

 

gentleman in disguise

 

 

cold and kind, one of a kind

 

 

takes your life,

 

one of a kind

 

 

we're hunted prey

 

locked in to position

 

ready for the kill

 

he

 

knows

Over the rainbow

 

 

 

come to me over the rainbow

 

tell me all about your fantasies

 

and

 

I'll

 

grant you eternal amnesty

 

 

come and bring your own sweetself

 

bring your own sweet pot of gold

 

'cause your a sweet human being

 

come to me over the rainbow

 

 

come to me with your tender heart

 

in

 

my life you'll be the biggest part

 

sail with me the oceans of the world

 

come to me, be my greatest pearl

 

and

 

I

 

will give you all I posess

 

it wil bring to me a time of rest

 

finally I have found my home

 

come to me over

 

the

 

Rainbow

Life

I'm

 

standing here right out of the blue, in a ray of light

 

don't know what to do

 

don't believe in life anymore, but I've go to hang on

 

just

 

for the sake of living

 

I

must

 

get through this  , it will cease to excist, but it'll  take time,

 

 

 

I

 

flip a dime

 

time will be all mine, my life is like a shell, hollow and empty

 

getting

 

drowned by its sea of emotion

 

 

 

thrust upon a shore, barely alive

 

I

 

will

 

recover

 

 

I

 

will crawl to freedom and take it by its tail

 

I

 

will shake it be once more in the running again

 

and

 

get

 

rid of my pain, that grabs me again and again

 

 

 

I

want to get rid of it  and be whole again,'cause I'm downcast

 

thrown un to the ground where I crawl around

 

looking for way out

 

as

 

always in myself , got to do it myself, to be whole again

 

I'll

 

take my stand , be back on the edge , work my way back

 

and

 

I

 

ask myself what do I want from this life

 

 

 

it

 

is

 

not much some sanity to live on in peace

 

and

 

lie

 

under the appletree

 

thinking

 

this life it is to

 

be

Little blue eyes

 

 

little

 

blue eyes, she has seen it all

 

her

 

innocence fell about the first time

 

a

 

gun roared like hell and when it came down

 

there

 

was only silence

 

 

it

 

wasn't easy to remain standing

 

 

 

 



little

 

blue eyes did just that, without a drop from her eye

 

she

 

looked out over the devistation, trying hard to undertsand

 

 

child's

 

eyes take in more than they need

 

 

ev;ry day

 

she cried a litle growing up

 

evr'day day a far cry from reality

 

 

in

 

the shadow of her life she cries

 

as

 

her

 

 litlle blue eyes were

 drowned

for

life
