My tear-stained eyes will not be witnessed
hole in my soul the ashes remain
she left me a note
"don't you wait for me my babe, might be away for long
you gotta be strong, better go and find someone else"

So here I am alone with her poems
quiet as a mouse what else can I do?
an eye on the door, an ear on the answerphone
hoping she'll change her mind or one day she'll drop me a line
that's all I really want

Early in the morning I see your face everywhere
and it's your absence to bear
late in the evening when I failed to understand
you were the sea and me the sand
this odd sensation of cold viscose sheets on naked flesh

I'm circling my eyes just searching for an answer
I'm begging refuge in the arms of concern
I'll dress my room in the colours of distress
waiting for better times a shelter for hollow rhymes
morbid corridor of life

Early in the morning I see your face everywhere
and it's your absence to bear
late in the evening when I failed to understand
you were the sea and me the sand
this odd sensation of cold viscose sheets on naked flesh

Facing the wall I'll sprout my fear
you never stopped being my weary eyes
what if I told you I grew up on you...
my trust will revolt with the passion you stole
I'm blind to love I'll slash my heart
speaking is useless when you're down
my body now has no room for love
tattoo my forearm with the words
"I've been hurt by the best queen of hearts"

Love, now that they have gone
lock the door, pour some wine
love, silence comes to stay
close your eyes, say no words

I'll play you my guitar, babe
some vh twenty-five's
and if you fall asleep, babe
no one cares our happiness is all but wasting time

Love, won't you turn off the light
lean on me, weep no more
love, let the wind caress
on your face, eventually

It's got to be another tender night
a night to be remembered back
I gotta keep on holding you so tight
sometimes I'm scared of all my luck
oh oh, I wish it could be a dream
with you and me in it

Babe, you know what I need
and it's you close to me
babe, I won't let you go
how could I even try

I'll play you my guitar, babe
some vh twenty-five's
and if you fall asleep, babe
no one cares our happiness is all but wasting time

It's got to be another tender night
a night to be remembered back
I gotta keep on holding you so tight
sometimes I'm scared of all my luck
oh oh, I wish it could be a dream
with you and me

"tick" the clock is sayin'
"drip" the rain's a-fallin' on
"tick tock" our time is passin' and then
"drip drop" the water's floodin'

Here she comes the wind steps aside
the stars above begin to collide
how could I flirt with the dawn
if she beholds what is done
how could I ever say why
when she hums a lullaby

Whisper me "I feel you alive"
but then in fact I owe you my life
moments of doubt are long gone
she harboured me in her heart
wish I could choose from the start
which way I should carry on

A paradigm, a story untold
such true romance perfumed marigold
there is no word I might say
that could justify my delight
gazing the crack of the day
under inspiring moonlight

Desire
Turn, turn back to me, you peaceful dove
turn, turn round and see me pleading love
I'll pretend to believe that you're lying close to me
in a delicate way feeling free
don't awaken my dreams I want to be asleep

Oh, we talk about Deetoo

The nicest moments I remember been with you
the easiest things I reckon were because of you
the magic instants that we shared were full of love
nothing left to do but keep this loving
which keeps me well alive

Of all the people I have met no one's like you
the smile you show was born together within you
your eyes reflect imaginary rendezvous
nothing left to do but keep this loving
I got to sing this tune
before the curtain's drawn

Now I want to holler out that love is right
that every time I breathe I feel allright
and I feel fine
I, I won't be stirred when times become so tough
I won't be moved from tears and nor from laughs
and I won't tarry long to be with you
and I'll be waiting for you
to be safe, to be warm in your arms (2)
to be safe, to be warm in you

And if I ever wonder to retrace my steps
and if I ever doubt of all the things I said
and if I wanted to alleviate my painful wounds
nothing left to do but keep this loving
which keeps me well alive

Another story to be told of what is done
another way to say the best is yet to come
I know you'll be forever in this heart of mine
nothing left to do but keep this loving
I got to sing this tune
before the curtain's drawn

Now I want to holler out that love is right
that every time I breathe I feel allright
and I feel fine
I, I won't be stirred when times become so tough
I won't be moved from tears and nor from laugh
and I won't tarry long to be with you
and I'll be waiting for you
to be safe, to be warm in your arms (2)
to be safe, to be warm in you

Come on I wanna be heard when everything is turned down
same days same horror abound, the prophet is on the run
my rage is somehow extreme I just don't wanna take part
in this uncertain affray, a human failure I am

Or maybe I'm not the one who'll find the key to the quest
but if it's not to be solved, acquittal be my judge
of all mistakes I have made none can engorge my denials
the aura I used to radiate epitomized my distress

Angst in all the deeds that I plan
I'm spinning on end I'm sick and tired
I won't accept no tap on my back
I need no smile from them
chances to be senseless are none,
the more that I see the worse I feel
there's no nary a glimpse of respect,
agony in excess forces me to be bad

Where are all those I did trust when I got into a jam?
dream on, you gotta shut up, such heaven's full of void

Stay with me, won't you? be a friend
we could make up a world to live in
I've been too long down here in the dumps
you could put an end to it for good
save your tears for another time
please say something to make me smile
why this cold look on some people's eyes?
joy forgot to carry on somehow

Come on don't leave me alone
I've been through this plight before
my magnet's losing control, illumination's run out

Stay with me, won't you? be a friend
we could make up a world to live in
I've been too long down here in the dumps
you could put an end to it for good
save your tears for another time
please say something to make me smile
why this cold look on some people's eyes?
joy forgot to carry on somehow

I was right just as I expected time did fly
and saturday's back again we're dying to play for a while
never fear, either soon or later you will appear
to tun into a perfect place our playground down here

I don't care the vessel cracking , I don't mind the storm
I would sail my life away if led by Captain Word

The best of my soul I'll commend to your hands
my favourite songs they all spring from your mind
wisdom wrapped, lighting flares to our lives

Cheer me, keep being part of me, say it out loud
I joined your lines converting myself to your sight
bless me, second of mine, name me, water me down
I'll pay this round, my best man, let's down it in one
drink a toast to this pow-wow, you're my host

The best of my soul I'll commend to your hands
my favourite songs they all spring from your mind
wisdom wrapped, lighting flares to our lives

Cheer me, keep being part of me, say it out loud
I joined your lines converting myself to your sight
bless me, second of mine name me, water me down
I'll pay this round, my best man, let's down it in one
drink a toast to this pow-wow, you're my host
beloved friend
in this pow-wow something's changed

Too little a poet for this
never thought could do it with ease
too much love for one single song
still needed to thank you for long, for so long
well, here you are now that it is done

Ire over cadence sublime jeopardize affinity
as we're deluged with this manifold of peace and mirth
scintillate verve when benign
dissolute infinity, gullible state prone to birth

Say, you're resplendent, divine
hidden flare of levity
restive and calm on your own, egress awhile
I will sojourn neath your sign to provide tranquillity
true eremite left in exile

Thunderstorm and sunshine both at hand
a world of dust illumes me on my land
this prosaic epistle to be sent
who'll get it then? who'll get it then?

Wild typhoons affright our discipline
disburden then our grievance clandestine
would never disappoint our mission, suspicion
mischievous delight, profane request

Drifted ashore once again womanized our threnody
lost and confound but not ever thought to be naive
fervour adorned gracelessly would embezzle dignity
soliloquize and scenarize our zest

Thunderstorm and sunshine both at hand
a world of dust illumes me on my land
this prosaic epistle to be sent
who'll get it then ? who'll get it then ?

Wild typhoons affright our discipline
disburden then our grievance clandestine
would never disappoint our mission, suspicion
mischievous delight, profane request

Sublime, benign, divine... your sign

Heard on the radio once, "the future's getting dark"
I cannot reckon who's it for
mine's bright and full of life the edge is not in sight
wish I could tell you something more
my music is inside my heart, my soul, my brain
think I will always feel the same, and it's true

The end is near they say repent and purify your sins
nobody knows how long we'll tread upon this land
for life's a mystery to all
and when my time shall come I'll try not to decay
a gateway to another world
my music is inside my heart, my soul, my brain
think I will always feel the same
can't you see it, I know, I got to sing
I'll say goodbye to all my gurus

They tried so hard to blow my mind
I'll interrupt the course of sorrows
one more time till tomorrow
I'll say hello to things to happen new and better
I say new and better right on

Tomorrow never comes or else I heard them say
the apocalypse is on the verge
get rid of all my load that's what I'm gonna do
escape to nowhere with my rage

We look as if we were all hanging from a cloud
a spark of innocence, no doubt, there is no doubt
and we will sing, sing it loud
I'll say goodbye to all my gurus
they tried so hard to blow my mind
I'll interrupt the course of sorrows one more time till tomorrow
I'll say hello to things to happen new and better
