Woah Brother

Slowly dripping candle wax
Shows us the time receding
Dreams of talks we’ll never have
About what we believe in
As naïve children we believed
There was meaning to what we achieved
Woah brother
We’d wait until the witching hours
To tell our secret stories
Of ships and sails and ceiling wax
And hopes for future glories
Whiskey loosened up our lips
But never enough for us to kiss
Woah lover
Years when by and tears were cried
Awaiting perfect timing
We’d fight and scream and make a scene
Our stars never aligning
Excitedly we would spar
But sometimes we’d go to far
Oh how to recover

Play Me To Sleep

I’ll never have a perfect body
I’ll never have a perfect soul
Still I deserve somebody
With whom I can stroll
No I don’t need much money
I don’t need a car
I just want someone who’s kind of funny
To play me to sleep on his guitar
No I don’t seek much power
I don’t want to rule
Just want someone to sit with by the hour
And to hold me when life is cruel
And when I’m gone I’m bound to be forgotten
No statues erect for me
Still I am grateful for all that I’ve gotten
A life full and free

The Rain and You

The pitter-patter in Berlin
Reminds me of our beginning
Now while the rains falling
I can’t help recalling you
Our love was so innocent
You merely held my hand
And I dreamed of a time
When you would be all mine
But now you’re just so far
And now the rain's falling
I’m here recalling you
My fingers ran through
Your flaxen locks
I got to know you
Through our philosophical talks
Now the rain’s falling
And I'm here recalling you
Oh the rain the rain and you
Oh the rain yes the rain the rain it’s hard explain
But when the rain’s falling
I can’t help recalling you
We climbed up the waterfall
One excursion changed it all
Bit by bit we intertwine
Silently we tread the line
Now while the rains falling
I’m here recalling you
Your jokes were so dirty
But you were just being flirty
La di da la di da
You will never be mine
La di da la di da
Still I might pine for you
While the rain’s falling
And I'm here recalling you
Oh the rain the rain and you
The rain yes the rain the pain’s inhumane
But when rain’s falling
I can’t help recalling you

A Civil Break
00:54
|

|
A question burning a hole in my gut
Will we find a way out of this rut?
Or is it time to cut
Ties
And realize
That though you are my best friend
The end
Is nigh
And though we really did try
We are both exhausted from the fight
The truth fact reality case
That I must face
You are not the one
So before our love unravels and every good moment undone
I must leave your warm bed tender lover
A severing pain but one
From which we can recover.
