Lone city

Open arms, a welcome smile
Never been so close to home
It only took a little while
Rough caresses, hands of stone

Making way through empty houses
Wind is calling, calling still
Angry looks, the fire douses
By the people, by the kill

Now this place is dark and cold
Should I go leave stone behind
Ash and smoke, the bones are old
I should leave the stone behind

Ten times over

The third time I pick up the phone to call
The fourth time I stare with contempt at the wall
The fifth time I tell me I will show them all 
Losing time
End the line

The sixth time I look in the mirror and see
The seventh who gazed from the mirror at me
The eightth time I wonder if I shouldn't flee
But I'm losing time
End the line

I'm counting the times I walk up and down
I'm clearing my head and I'm leaving town
Ninth time I blink and look around
But I'm losing time
End of the line

There are little flowers blooming in my head
No cloudy days, but sun instead
I'm counting stars now
Not sure I know how
I'm feeling fine.

Numbers float away like smoke
With the shattered dreams they broke
The first time I start with an empty space
The seconds, the minutes, the hours and the days.

Lovely

Lieve help, Valentijn komt er aan.

Is het niet mijn plicht, mijn taak, mijn doel in deze wereld om als dichter zijnde iets speciaals te doen? Iets met rozen, dingen die rijmen op liefde en chocola? Misschien zelfs iets met een happy ending? Ik heb 10 dagen. De klok loopt.

Hark, a vagiant!

Is ze niet mooi?

Little baby don't you cry for me no more.
I can hear your sobbing through the bedroom door.
I'll wait here 'till your bad dreams have gone to bed
And remember all the things that I had said.

Little baby don't you worry 'bout those things
Let the queens stay sad an mourn for their dead kings.
Let the mother cry for children sick and ill,
Just remember all the good times if you will.

Little baby this has gone on long enough
I am certain it is you the one I love
I will think of you each and every day,
Just as long as I can wipe your tears away.

Baby I love you
Zou deze gewoon over een baby kunnen gaan?

Gunpoint

Through the dusts and the deserts
Through the cities we rode
We shared all of our stories
We shared all our load

Stay with me brother
We will be allright
Remember your hometown
You know why we fight.
