I wait every night for it
Beyond the clouds where the angels gather around
the wind brings soft air and your red curls tangle up
you white silk dress falling down
and my senses are not immune to that
you walk towards me with the sea on your back
to the naked eye your freckles seem stars
that the hand of GOD has drawn and formed
the tulips droop when you pass by
in dribs and drabs the light fades out
and I yearn for not waking up
the dream disappear and the peace with it
and I want you come back to me
and I wait every night for it.

I forgot to Forget what I wouldn't do again
Credit card bills, bus full of kids,
morning headache, books full of notes,
economic news at 7 o'clock
homework to do
I forgot to forget
what I wouldn't do again
panic attack, fear of this and fear of that
meds for this and meds for that
I forgot to forget.....
they call at lunch, insurance for health, insuranvce for dog
and insurance for cats, I need to insurance my bloody ass
I forgot to forget.....
I meet a friend down there in town
she is so preoccupied and she seems so sad.
she can't decide waht to wear at night
I forgot to forget....
I come back home and I feel safe
I hear some moans there's an orgy upstairs
I clap my hand to agree they make it well
I forgot to forget...
I pop up the cork it's 3 PM o'clock
I think a lot, I should make some sport
I search for the sportwear somewhere in home
but my body says "it's a kind of joke"
I forgot to forget...
I sit like Buddha on the living's room floor
I feel some cramps and I can't concentrate so much
I look my third eye, and I cut it out.
so I give up
I forgot to forget...

She

She
Oh! Merry walks on the street
She’ll learn to cry
She’ll leave me alone
On the wall without words
She never touches me
Hey baby you try to cry
Hey i was never drunk
Well, when i was young
I rise my heart to her
Changing the time
Changing the words
Cause the heart that never came
she walks in her silk green dress
and moves like a floweret
brushed by the wind
and shining like a ring
she walks with a smile on her lips
her crafty open eyes
they are behoove to beguile
and you abide them cause their charm

As soon as she was gone

As soon as she was gone
As soon as she was gone
The gentle wind began to blow
I laid me down to read her notes
They were all apocryphus words
Hidden from me, allowed to none
Plenty of the most truly love
I felt the cruelty of those
With bloody swords cheated us all
We are not only food of worms
Heaven is closer than we’d thought
We let the blind to lead the road
And then we say it was his fault.

Beneath the willow tree

Beneath the willow tree
Beneath the willow tree
our woes we sealed
when the sun was setting up
your hair tangled up
and I embraced you very tight
and my head laid on your thighs
while your hands cared my brow
we seemed to be two infants
-Like a beggar you asked my love
and like a butcher I cuted your heart
I heard an angel speak
right from your lips
my eyes they shone in glee
and the sweet heat of your kiss
I cruelty deceived
have your eyes ever wept for me?
Now I know I was unfair
I still feel it night and day
that my grief is not away
but I'm sure yours longtime fled

Story of a child

Story of a child
I was young and I was strong my only wish was growing old
my father told me "enjoy your time"
my mother told me "it's your life"
I took a suit, a good pair of shoes
I took some books and booked a flight
but suddenly I realized that no one wanted me around
I was a cowboy for a while until they said your time is out
I left a horse, a cowboy hat, and turned myself into a gentelman
I had strayed into a wild life, paying for love every single night.
then I turned quiet sad, my thoughts were mazed and I rose my hands to GOD
and suddenly I realized that I already have grown up

No more hanging around

No more hanging around
I felt a hand, which touched my head
I freed my mind
I wanted to be saved
I forgot the bars
where I used to hang
and all those girls
that I'd payed for their embrace
my shadow casts
in hopeless air
like lying on bed
it waits to be saved
like a hopeless lamb
I needed a guide
some sparkling stars
flame's scorched desire
now I'm on my way
to joy reclaim
and the gates of heaven
I'll beg to be saved
I forgot the bars
where I used to hang
and all the girls
that I used to pay for their embrace

Looking for a place

Looking for a place
They took me to a trial
for I didn't understand
they locked me up into a bag
with some other guys
they sentenced me for life
but one day I broke out
and ran to another land
where the ladies were nice
they looked at me with lust
but they all wanted the ring in the hands
so I moved all the way south
where the sun hits so much
and the women all covered in black
and the law is divine
then GOD sent me a sign
I'd heard of a big town
so I went there and it seemed nice
so many people like ants
I'd learnt all the slangs
but they were like privat clubs
I thought once more
where do I belong from?
indeed not where I was born
I was still handsome and young
if there was a time in which I was.

There is a town

There is a town
There is a town, in my mind,
I take the prettiest girl, And I take her to the altar.
All my changes disappear and
They stayed behind the shades of
A dirty lake.
And my best gifts shine between people,
My girl and me.
We are happy, and we live in that green hill. And a butterfly around flies.
From the window, at sunset we can see
The town, blue and lonely
A willow takes a shower of stars
There is not more shadows since I found
This town
Here the wind blows warm
And the leaves happy they move and
Mary laughs too.
And I hold her.
She looks happy
I don´t know myself

The Prophecy

The Prophecy
The rest of my life
Is going to be dark
I’m worried of the clock
That sometimes harms to my heart
It steps over me
Like shit on the ground
This storm-girl will cross over me
Before my time’s came in
I’ve searched her ghost-lips
Traveling through my head
I see her moving faraway from me
I say to myself, “someday I’ll awake”
I’ll open my eyes and I’ll see her there
Staring at me, showing me the way
And all of you will say
“We’ve never heard his name”
