I believe that lyrics should be more than just random words chosen to fit the melody of a song. When writing my own songs I try to give them meaning, importance and beauty. I hope my lyrics work as well within a song setting as they do spoken in form of a poem. Here you can read the song lyrics for my first album “Fateful Relations”: |

Tacit
A picture paints a thousand words, it's true.
It did so!
The moment that I blushed the whole world knew.
They did so!
Tacit - it was crystal clear.
No explanation needed here.
When we met there was nothing to be said.
T'was just so.
We got together almost straight away.
We did so!
No waiting list, no asks, no big delay.
It was so!
Tacit - it was crystal clear.
No explanation needed here.
When we got close it was fate, that's how it goes.
T'was just so.
You moved in within seven weeks quite fast.
You did so!
It was love at first sight we thought it'd last.
We did so!
Tacit - it was crystal clear.
No explanation needed here.
We became one there was nothing to be done.
T'was just so.
When you moved out one rainy day I cried.
I did so!
I couldn't comprehend that you had lied.
You had though!
Tacit - it was crystal clear.
No explanation needed here.
It ended sad there was nothing more to add.
T'was just so.
But hang on a mo we're not quite finished here.
Not quite yet!
How can you make yourself forget what you hold dear?
How can you?
I went out one windy day.
And my hat that'd gone astray
Blew towards you and landed on your head.
My face turned red and there was nothing to be said.
Tacit - it was crystal clear.
No explanation needed here.
When I met you it started all anew.
That's just so.
A picture paints a thousand words, it's true.
It did so!
The moment that I blushed the whole world knew.
They did so!
Tacit - it was crystal clear.
No explanation needed here.
When we met there was nothing to be said.

Just Fine
(for Mark)
When butterflies flutter deep in my chest.
When my heart jumps to places I’d never have guessed.
When my head thinks of you the whole day without rest.
I know you’re the one for me.
And you will be mine and I will be yours.
When we have each other we don’t need no cures.
All of our powers combine.
And we’ll forever be fine.
When it’s late in the day and you kiss me goodnight.
And I smile at you and you turn off the light.
When I’m looking at you and the world is alright.
You know I’m the one for you.
And I will be yours and you will be mine.
And we will be ours and we will be fine.
We’ll walk till the end of the line.
And we’ll forever be fine.
And the feelings we feel are strangely unreal.
But we know that they’re true for me and for you.
Love knows no reason, no rhyme.
So I wrote us this song to never forget
The stars were aligned the day that we met.
With you till the end of time.
We’ll forever be fine.
You’re my lifeline - we’ll be fine.
Together till we’re 99.
Darling, we’ll shine - we’re just fine.

In Hindsight - HER
Famous first words.
The start of the end.
You feel that it hurts, but you have to pretend.
You know it’s too late.
The damage is done.
You sealed off your fate, you’ve got nowhere to run.
Why do we never realise?
Why do we ruin what was perfect?
Why can’t we make decisions twice?
To make it alright.
You hang your head low.
You’re walking away.
You want me to know that you have more to say.
It’s not nothing new.
It happened before.
But what will you do once you walked out the door?
Why do we never realise?
Why do we ruin what was perfect?
Why can’t we make decisions twice?
To make it alright.
One false step you pay the fee.
In hindsight it was plain to see.
It’s your choice, you hold the key.
I hope that it’s all just a bad dream.
Why do we never realise?
Why do we ruin what was perfect?
Why can’t we make decisions twice?
To make it alright.
I can’t wake up yet.
I’m trying too hard.
I want you to get that I’m breaking apart.
I stand in the rain.
I’m wearing a frown.
My reflection in pain.
I’m watching it drown.

In Hindsight - HIM
Famous last words.
It ends where it starts.
I know that it hurts but I won't show my cards.
I feel it's too late.
It can't be undone.
My head served on a plate.
The web's already spun.
Why do we never realise?
Why do we ruin what was perfect?
Why can’t we make decisions twice?
To make it alright.
I have to get out.
I'm walking away.
What's this all about?
No, you can't make me stay.
The story is old.
It happened before.
You watched it unfold now you've come back for more.

Forty-Two
Hair has many colours.
Tongue knows many tongues.
Feet have walked so many streets.
Head has messy thoughts and
Chest has mighty lungs.
Soul has got so many needs.
I’ve lived so much, but not enough.
Sometimes I forget how to be.
I’m strong, but scared.
I’m weak, but tough.
I’m strange, but I’ll always be me.
Eyes seen many places.
Ears heard many songs.
Back has carried plenty weight.
Gut knows how to trust and
Heart hopes that it belongs.
Hands have made things small and great.
I’ve lived so much, but not enough.
Sometimes I forget how to be.
I’m strong, but scared.
I’m weak, but tough.
I’m strange, but I’ll always be me.
And when I fall I will pick myself up.
The same way I’ve done all those years.
And when I stand tall I think of the times
When I could not hold back my tears.
I’ve lived so much, but not enough.
Sometimes I forget how to be.
I’m strong, but scared.
I’m weak, but tough.
I’m strange, but I’ll always be me.
Nose smelled a thousand flowers.
Arms held those who found it rough.
Lips tasted more than one sweet kiss.
Shoulders hung on many days and
Teeth have bitten through enough.
Mouth learned how to whisper bliss.

Unicorns
(dedicated to Sylvia & Silvia)
Uni - that’s where we met.
I’ll never forget how you turned up out of the blue.
You said: “Hey, what you’re reading?
I think you’ll be needing a friend - or two.”
And I knew then that we’ll get along.
Far from uniform, not afraid to be wrong.
We were unicorns - colourful, special and rare.
Yes, we were unicorns - fun, fantastic and fair.
Different flair!
Summer - that was the time
For vodka and lime and holidays in the sun.
We made memories there.
Some common, some rare, but always good fun.
And I knew then that we would last.
Ceasing the day and sharing the past.
And we were unicorns - colourful, special and rare.
Yes, we were unicorns - fun, fantastic and fair.
Different flair!
Now that I see you far less
This song’s to express that I miss you even more.
But i’m sure that we'll meet again and we’ll click like back then.
That’s what friends are for.
And we’ll remain friends till the end.
Time spent with you is some special time spent.
And we’re still unicorns - colourful, special and rare.
Yes, we’re still unicorns - fun, fantastic and fair.
Different flair!

Earth’s Pace
(dedicated to my parents)
Sometimes I sit
When life’s feeling blue.
And think of the times
That you helped me through.
You are what I need most!
Waiting, waiting for you.
For you to be back in my arms again.
Sometimes when I’m feeling blue
I wait for you to be back soon.
Back in my arms again.
You taught me so much
And forgave all my sins.
You kissed me and said
One day I’ll find my prince.
I need you here with me!
Waiting, waiting for you.
For you to be back in my arms again.
Sometimes when I’m feeling blue
I wait for you to be back soon.
Back in my arms again.
I wished I could turn
Time back to those years.
When life was much simpler
And you dried my tears.
But I can’t change earth’s pace!
Can’t change earth’s pace.
Can’t change earth’s pace.
Can’t change earth’s pace.

Gemini’s Lullaby
(in memory of my twin brother)
Would you look like me?
Would you be as stubborn?
Would you enjoy listening to my song?
Would you keep for me
All my thoughts and secrets?
Would you start dancing? Would you sing along?
And you’re close to me.
I can feel you.
Although I can not see you
Night and day you’ll be my guard.
We’re inseparable.
You protect me.
Although you might not hear me
You’ll be forever in my heart.
So let’s dream for now.
Sleep tight until tomorrow.
I may get answers soon one fateful day.
But until then
I know you’re here beside me.
Watch over me eternal come what may.
And you’re close to me.
I can feel you.
Although I can not see you
Night and day you’ll be my guard.
We’re inseparable.
You protect me.
I hope that you can hear me.
You’ll be forever in my heart.
You’ll be forever in my heart.
