City of Dreams:     PW

 

waking up in the city of dreams
you think your lucky, but it’s not what it seems
 the clock is always ticking
the clock is always ticking                                                       

the minutes of your life (away?)

waking up in my city of dreams
your eyes are open, but it’s not what it seems
on this stone cold floor       

it’s hard to see the light of day

in reality

the lucky ones are you and me

there’s no guarantee

the fate of our planet                  
is in our hands

you want to live in my city of dreams

you  plan your life all according to scheme’s
there's no recognition

only superstition

no idea where thats coming  from
You want to live in your dreams with me

and feel the endless possibility’s

Love  is the answer 

To everything you wished for

it’s  not a real city you know

long live our imagination

I’ll never tell you which way you got to go                                         

in my dreams i can live in a fairytale

happily ever after
                            

 

Where we are today:  JMF

 

There was a life before you

You don't know anything of

I lived in shambles on a hill

Looking for the meaning

of life and love

And I am searching still

 

Well it did not hold me back to live life to the full

Though there’s always something difficult in your way

And the vague and faint direction isn’t visible at all

Its a long road from where we are today

 

There were springs and summers

It seemed like they never ended

But eventually, they still did

and while our youthfulness was squandered

we felt more and more mature

and we handed in our prime

 

Well it did not hold me back to live life to the full

Though there’s always something difficult in your way

And the vague and faint direction isn’t visible at all

Its a long road from where we are today 

 

And the ships were sailing by each night

and we were standing on a never ending shore

it all went on without a fight

without knowing anything at all

we were bound to fall

 

now the days before us

as uncertain as they are

cos all we really have is hope

these are days of trial and error

if we give up now we might as well be

dangling from a rope

 

So it should not hold us back to live life to the full

‘cos there will always be something challengingl in your way

Even though vague and faint direction isn’t visible at all

there will be a new road from where we are today

 

 

Silver String :  PW

 

another day

has come my way

i see the sun rise in the east

daylight appears

the morning sky

painting colors in your eyes

i hear your voice

i hear you say

take me with you  far away

 

where are the wings to take us to the stars above

And our doubts are always near, just like our love

 

a silver string

a string to keep us tight

and keep us safe throughout the night

 

and if we part

you’re always there ‘cos of these

silver strings around our hearts

 

where are the wings to take us to the stars above                                      

And our doubts are always near, just like our love 

 

another day

has come my way

i see the sun rise in the east

Julia     JMF

 

I was in a bar, one gloomy night

just waiting, waiting for the show to start

and suddenly you jumped into my mind

i was looking at my watch to see what time it was

people looking at me, just as if to say...

what an awkward kind of guy he was

could he be waiting for someone?

nah, she's forever gone.

 

It was another time, It was our prime

but you did not care for me

i was hopelessly in love; you didn't know

banging with my head against the wall

i put you on a pedestal

and suddenly you walk into this place, same face

oh do i dare to say the things

i never got the chance, to say to you

 

Julia, just as pretty as way back when

do you still see me as you did then

i guess time can be such a fool

i was the fool love had made me

don't wanna be foolish, not again!

 

I remember all the bars I looked for you

and i know that you never changed your lines

I wish that after so long i could say:

"baby, so have I"

But i miss you just the same

just mentioning your name, oh Julia

Julia, the beauty of your name

Julia!

 

Many years have passed since school

you don't know me, and i don't know you

but what if? Just if?

You'r lonely like I'm lonely too...

 

Julia, long gone memory, come back again

You don't look down on me as you did then

i guess time can be such a fool

I was the fool love had made me

don't want to be foolish, not again no

don't wanna be foolish, not again,

Julia

 

Swirling Dust : PW   

 

 

A ray of swirling dust reflects the evening sun

it dances in the air like diamonds

life goes on,

on and on

on and on

 

The days when we were wild and young are gone

The king of Avalon sings his song

He doesn’t wait for the dawn

no he doesn’t wait

 

Another day you’ll find another ray

You sweep the dust and make room for another day

And life goes on

 

Dust is the future, and dust is the past

we’ve come to understand that nothing will last

Life goes on

On and on

It’s such a fuzz

 

The days when we were wild and young are gone

The queen of Avalon hears a song

We don’t wait for the dawn, no we don’t wait

We don’t wait

we don’t wait

There is no time...

There is only now

 

 

Buggers & Thieves:  JMF

 

your life is complete

people you need

are always around

loving them like i always did

and they do me (BV unisono)

but every now and then

out of the blue

bad things happening

there is no clue

to what can you do

 

That’s why everything needs to stay the same               

i can’t stand things changing for the worse
I just can’t go wrong this time
every good thing needs to stay the same
i have no need for buggers and thieves 

committing crime

 

Forget about the news  Don’t watch tv today

the whole damn world
is going down the drain anyway
so what would you say
 let’s all make love
and drink some wine

tell the politician

where to shove it
They’re always in a hurry

but they’re never in time

everything nice
or a little bit better

i only want sunshine

every day good weather
like a beautiful picture
in a beautiful frame

everything i love today

has to stay the same

 

That’s why everything needs to stay the same
i can’t stand things changing for the worse
I just can’t go wrong this time (Can’t go wrong this time)
every good thing needs to stay the same (als echo van de lead) 

i have no need for buggers and thieves
committing crime

 

Every time i see you cry: PW

 

these days we say that  life’s not the same anymore
everything used to be so much better
there was always something worth living for
we were so much more together
 

but here’s a story
of a young girl

gullible and so pristine
and how a bad guy, took advantage

she was only seventeen
 

in those days when something hit the fan
why tell anybody ‘bout your sorrow
you learn the world is full of angry men
and you leave your troubles for tomorrow
 

but some inflictions
leave bitter scars

and no matter how hard you try
your eyes tell me it’s not over

everytime i see you cry

And looking back at wrong decisions
one day the hurt will all be gone
i hope you find your innervisions
and find a reason to go on
And don’t you let anybody tell you
it’s not true
 

but some inflictions
leave bitter scars

and no matter how hard you try
your eyes tell me it’s not over
everytime i see you cry

 

More Dust: MF

 

 

i have a suitcase full of “thank you’s”
A room full of “well done’s”

precious things we save for later days ?

boxes full of pictures

stolen kisses, letters of love

and maps with routes to find me better ways  

only because we feel we must
this is how it’s got to be

and it is really nothing more than dust

  

i have memories of heartache
and of decisions that i made

and none of them can ever be undone

will i ever stop to bother

will i ever stop to care

i suppose i am really not the only one

I hope i saved up enough moments
'cos when it comes to rainy days
you might need a memory to linger on to
 The day you find out what the purpose was, the meaning off it all
the rise before the fall, the writings on the wall
the misconceptions, the truth you knew was false and unpredictable

you see that nothing was in vain
even though dust was all i gathered
and i just endured the pain

here’s a picture of my mother, here’s a picture of my dad

i just wonder if there’s something left here
that makes sense of the lives they had

their struggle day to day in a time when little things mattered

their efforts in this world lie scattered

you see the evening-shadows  fading
like a glimpse of yesterday
and all the dreams you wished you would remember
will come your way

 

The day you find out what the purpose was, the meaning off it all
the rise before the fall, the writings on the wall
the misconceptions, the truth you knew was false and unpredictable
you see that nothing was in vain
even though dust was all i gathered
and i just endured the pain

 

The man behind the mask: JMF

 

Home all day, every day

There is no need  for doing stuff

I sleep my life away

I feel depressed

I used to be a prisoner of stress

And when it’s  dark

I still can SEE

The working man i used to be

And after all this time

Of being a suit behind a desk

Meet the man behind the mask

 

The Man behind the mask you see

is no a guy like you and me

he jumps around quite joyfully

But is he who he wants to be?

I wish I made the right choice

In a time when things were not that profound

Girls were girls and boys were boys

And i couldn’t get my head around it

Just  when i thought i knew

that everything would be okay

I took another wrong turn

But now it’s time to look at it

In another way

 

So now I’m here  toady

Still a little bit poor

And i can see all your faces,
And I’ve seen them all  before

Is this  just another dream

or just  another scream for love

I’m still consumed by mixed emotions
I  Wasn’t ev en thinking of
And  now these days when i finally

put some things  at rest
I find there’s still another man

behind the mask

 

Sunshine : PW

 

like a thief

in the night

i packed my things and went

away from you

far from the light

far from the time we spend

 

you were asleep

so peacefully

didn’t kiss your cheek

didn’t stroke your hair

not wondering  when

not wondering where

walking down the stairs

 

i knew my days would be cold

‘cos you were my sunshine

i waited much to long with this song

you are my sunshine

 

there’se  no excuse

i know that now

i wish i could have made more sense of it

and it never stops

it’s in my dreams

it’s in my soul, it’s who i am

 

you are my sunshine

 

and now these days

still daddy’s girl

we made amends

no more regrets

just memories

and still the best of friends

 

Like Flowers Growing

Summer wind        

 

i can see you when i close my eyes 

so i close my eyes

so i can see you

just because i’m looking doesn’t mean i’m searching

i’ve had a crush like this, so many times before

falling in love is such a lovely memory

it doesn’t happen often enough

it only lingers on

 

everytime you’re there i wanna close my eyes

tell me it’s not happening

tell me it’s not true

just because you’re pretty and you're looking like a moviestar

yes you could be a sin

for all the boys galore

falling in love is just a lovely memory

doesn’t happen often enough

it always lingers on

 

you’re like summer wind, blowing through the open window

summerwind is your breath on my skin

in the middle of the night i can hear your whisper

say my name

take me away

 

maybe there are things we must not try to understand

or find meaning

or give reason to

just because it happens doesn’t make it meaningfull

or fall into place

at this moment in time

falling in love is just a lovely memory

it doesn’t happen often enough

but it lingers on , and on and on and on

 

 

Strange day

 

heaps of junk in a house for hire

tea with Robbie on Sunday afternoon

one black crow on electric wire

are you coming home soon ?

 

it’s such a strange day

a strange day to say I love you

such a strange day

are you just as scared as I

will you come with me and hide?

and well just wait it out until its time

 

one more movie and an empty seat

me and Mary in the month of June

love’s enchantments love so sweet

next apparition on a yellow moon

 

'cos the tiding ‘s lost

someone shot the messenger

the barriers crossed are only thin white lines

unspeakable signs in residual clay

and it's such a strange day

 

one last glimmer when the evening falls

in a soft sound

two silhouettes on the underground walls 

and a lost one found

 

it’s such a strange day

a strange day to say I love you

such a strange day

are you just as scared as I

will you come with me and hide?

and well just wait it out…

well I guess it’s time

 

 

Pretty head around

 

 

you need somebody to be there for you

you need someone to love

and maybe there are days you need some friendship too

your memories won’t help

your past is only trying to keep up with you

don’t turn your head

your pretty head around

 

you need your sacrifise to be of some value

and you need some consolation

it surely was the right thing to do

if there’s a purpose in life

well it must be life itself

just don’t turn your head

your pretty head around

 

we had everything going

the world at our feet

in our imagination

inspiration like flowers growing

but we quit living like that

 

you need your lonelyness you need your peace

but you also need a pair of smiling eyes

and someone to put your mind at ease

and now your name is here

and i can see you

please don’t turn your head

your pretty head around

 

you can say it’s over

and take the road you like

pick you four leaf clover

or wait for love to strike

 

 

A splendid gathering in the sliding dunes

 

 

on a hot and humid day

in the lazy hours of noon

there was a splendid gathering in the sliding dunes

a feast of summer in the salty air

you and me just lying there

your eyes closed, the sun shone through your swirling hair

 

so we laid our bodies down

our backs In the warm sand

our shoulders close, our minds as one, I touched your hand

the sound of the waves became a story

telling tales of

how the sound of the sea became a melody of love

 

time was never passing

because the world was standing still

not a word or a sigh was heard against our will

so strange to realize

this perfect harmony

and the soft sweet kisses of your salty lips on the rhythm of the sea

 

colours changing, stars appeared

millions of little lights

but the evening sky was not as pretty as the lovelight in your eyes

oh why did all this happen on this very hemisphere

can this thing really happen

are we really here ?

 

love was made and love  we made

until our lust was satisfied

until the hunger quenched

'till our hearts were light

silhouettes walked hand in hand

there was no one there but you and me

we were golden shadows in a moon lit sea

 

the sand still warm the whole night through

then came the cool of morning air

awakened by the sound of seagulls everywhere

we did not want this all to end

but it did.....

so on our separate lives we went

 

 

Mad man at the helm (Silly people)

 

 

silly people eating french fries in the rain, silly people

people do the darndest things,

and they do them without reason

 

on this autumn day when I miss the warmth of summer sun

and all I do is reminisce

i wonder where the love has gone

 

silly people buying stuff they never really need,

on a digital marketplace

they fill their homes with little trinkets

and they lace their lives with hope

 

you might think your day to day routine

is of any importance

but it’s only trivial, i mean, c’mon

you tell me now, you decide...

 

because it looks as if the headlines

are more explicit and more obscene

it’s only fake news ruled by silly people

vicious, cruel, and mean

there’s a mad man at the helm

will someone help us please

 

do you ever think there will come a day we will figure out where things went wrong

it’ s so much easier to turn away and deny what’s going on

we can fill an ocean with our tears

but we seldom act accordingly, ‘cos we can compromise

and the future is a distant thing...

 

 

Comfort me

 

 

i was passing by the old house we lived in long ago 

It felt strange and cold

you were born there i remember 

on a sunny day in spring

and i was struck by the sudden gloomy mood

i landed in

 

it was like i was transported through a void in time

again I felt isolated 

we had some good times i remember

on that sunny day in spring

and my love for you, well it has not faltered

it’s stronger than it’s ever been

 

 

and in these days where things are dire (2nd:we live in days where things are dire)

and the world collapses with disease 

our possesions are on fire

our hearts keep calling out for peace 

i feel a strong urge to withdraw

and seek shelter and feel free (2nd: seek shelter under this siege)

find a way to comfort you

just like you will comfort me

 

now you live in your secluded life, and  i, i live in mine

we dont see eachother very often nowadays

there is a distance inbetween us

and it re-apears from time to time

some words still sound the same

but they still don’t rhyme

 

so we sort out all our differences

we come to terms, for what it’s worth

you need to, otherwise, whats there to gain

i guess we’re probably too proud or just plain stupid

well anyway, it is just never worth the pain

 

 

An unfulfilled promise   

 

 

 

an unfulfilled promise 

I read in your eyes 

and it has been such a long time

since i saw your smile

the years have been kinder 

than i thought they would 

and allthough this time has passed my heart still jumps for you

 

i remember the first time

i layed eyes on you 

oh, I was so gone and so in love

i Just didn’t know what to do

and you were so lovely

and i was so in awe and so blue

you conquered my heart right there and then

 

maybe there’s a reason why the cards where dealt this day

we could have been together but our lives developed in another way

in the end the years became our enemy

 

an unfulfilled promise

the trueth or a lie

we carry these memories

in the back of our minds

so one day when we’re older

we’ll smile and we will say

it was worth all the sweet pain we still feel to this day

 

 

You Said

 

 

you change your dreams and then you grow up

and if you dwell on dreams you might forget to live

and i could never

I would never ever

make you fall in love with me

 

the world can change in one day, yes it can

and fear can leave you blind, with your eyes still open

but i could never

I would never 

make you fall in love with me

 

one day i will leave and I won’t return you said

It was all in vain, but at least we tried you said

 

now you take forever, well, thats a long long time

much can happen, so you need to draw the line

like, you could never resist

thats why

you fell in love with me

 

and in the heat of struggle and battles never won

the only thing you loose is pride

why did you ever

why did you ever

fall in love at all

 

and making up is easier than falling out of love

your heart will rock, the pain will stop

but then again, sweet pain is never ending

but  understanding will come as time goes by

I supose an easy life is only for the ones who refuse to try

 

 

Sparrow in the rain

 

sparrow in the rain 

what do you know 

about the hurt in the world 

it is not your fault 

your wings all wet

your eyes so bright 

i hope  you can sing your song

before you go to sleep tonight

 

willow in the wind

wave your branches

before you bow and break

and your leafs will fall 

you grew so tall 

almost touching the sky 

a desparate growth 

because you know the end is nigh

 

word in the wind

you’re there all the time

coming through my open window

a thought in the night

a thought so bright

don’t leave me waiting

waiting for your light

 

sparrow in the rain 

what do you know 

about the hurt in the world 

No it is not your fault 

your wings all wet

your eyes so bright 

i hope  you still sing your song

before you go to sleep tonight

 

 

Under the radar          

 

never made a serious attempt of any kind

hardly ever tried to get noticed by anyone

a  fantasy life inside my mind

Imagination flowing freely, on and on

 

never taking any notice but you could say that i was on the run

though i never figured out for who or what

i was in a battle but i allready knew  that it couldn’t be won

not sooner, and not later

 

i was under the radar

always under the radar

but i was never too far

‘cos I was watching you, watching you

from under the radar

 

everywhere i look i see asylums

everywhere i look i see open doors

i see everyone hiding on their own private island

fighting their own wars

 

sometimes i stare at people and i wonder

some of them should be a little bit more like me

a little more modest, a little bit under

the radar, under the radar

 

Winter wind

 

on a cold winternight we part

finaly you’re flying free

i will keep you in my heart

your love is safe with me

 

with this this winter wind you suddenly leave

your worn and rugged coat

but time, to make me grieve

but time, to make us float

 

this is where the long ride ends

this is where we say fare thee well

and after all the bows and bends

we go and tell about that final breath

without death our life is meaningless 

 

on a cold winternight you go

tired but at peace and you left your mark

like my footprints in the snow

like a shadow in the dark

 

i am naked in this winter wind

naked as the the day when i was born

naked i’ll keep wandering

i’m the child left forlorn

 

 

Broken hearts & Cancelled dreams
