Returning the rain
the flowers can stay with me
I'll love the sun soon

To die

Death ones asked me
Do you want to see the light?
I said yes
So he said “ Then follow me into the fright”

I walked in strong and brave
It got darker and colder
And then I saw my grave
He said “ Jump in and may you smolder”

I did as I was told
My braveness was forgotten
And I jumped in to the earth so cold
I laid for years to rotten

I suffered for years
But then the light shined bright
I was only bones and tears
But I got into the white

i want you
to color me blue,
baby live with me in our lie
dance under the beautiful sky
but only for one more night.

then i would leave
you won’t really believe,
you wouldn’t understand why
and then i say goodbye
and leave you all behind.

you would fast move on
but i would think of you till dawn,
i would live in my own lie
dance under the dark sky
but baby i would end it tonight.

will you ever remember me
while i’m swallowed in the dark sea,
i will be forsaken and forgotten
and i may be rotten
i want you

It doesn’t take much to find excuses
for avoiding the unpleasant,
things for which I can find no uses
at the time - find no reason or rhyme.

Truth is, I don’t tax my mind to think of that reason,
don’t imagine how much good it would do,
don’t think how this is just the right season
to do this thing I don’t want to.

But oh how hard I’ll work to think
of ways to do this thing I love to do
find the recipe for that yummy drink
go to the game, find its venue.

I’m so very skilled and do it with ease
thinking of a good dodge or ruse.
This kind of creative work is a breeze
how skilled I am making an excuse!

Step by step
As I descended
Despite the ache in my bones
And the weakness of my heart
I thought of all the things I could have said
And all you could have done.

You were everything to me,
Everything I wanted to come home to
Everything I never wanted to leave.
And it is a strange feeling
Watching something never quite real fade away
Step by step.

"Don't go just yet."

16th floor on the west side, me and you,
my love, you're the moonlight on my nights.
Have you ever felt like this before?
Long afternoons laying by your side.
Let's have some rest, it's been a long night.
Please, babe, stay 'cause I don't wanna share.
Let me cook the dinner for you
I'll wait for your footsteps on the corridor
and we can drink that wine you've saved.

I wonder if you have nights like mine
where I can't sleep for thinking of you
Sometimes when I look at your smile
I know that you're all mine
even if it's just for a while.
