WHEN THE DUST CLEARS
Woke to the sound of the starting gun
What seemed a lovely day for a run
Turned into a nightmare
Going nowhere, you got into a snare
Down the lane on my charley horse
Out of breath, have never been worse
Pain in the chest and dust in the air
When you trip over and fall into despair
But only when the dust clears
You'll see the crowd with their cheers
Rooting for you
Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
You'll reapproach the mirror
And greet a rising winner
Falling over 7 odd times,
Charged with all crimes,
Desperation is ever closer
Get up again like a jet plane
From your knees up
Into the sky and even further
Running a distance, living a life
Missing and loosing and falling apart
He never wins who stays on the ground
Or just stares around
Thru dehydration and thru the pain
Under the sun and under the rain
When there's a will and when it is gone
Just keep on running and keep on going on

Save Me

SAVE ME
Lying on the grass watching the blue sky
And holding hands, and feeling warmth of each other
Blessed with simple things - easy to see why
You raise me up when I fall like the infant’s mother
You’ve got to help me
You’ve got to raise me
You’ve gott to save me
You’ve gott to
You’ve gott to
You and I, you and I, we should give it one more try
I believe that we could fly, you and I, when you and I
You and I, you and I, watching centuries go by
Till the rivers all run dry - You and I
Lying on the grass smelling your soft hair
I feel so peaceful, there’s a sweet scent in the air
And if anyone tries to defeat us
Together we make a stand against whoever dares

JUST FINE
I wake up in the morning
Feel happy, what a day!
A Sunday's never boring
Just you and me
Perfect all the way
Good and bad and ugly
I can be right anything you want
Drop-dead handsome, hardly
And for sure I'm not as tough as Bond
But you just don't mind it
And we're drinking good old watered wine
Laughing till our sides split
And we're grooving just fine
Sunbeams across your freckles
Today we're sleeping late
Some toast with jam, and kettle is on the gas
Perfect all the way
Good and bad and ugly
I can be right anything you want
Drop-dead handsome, hardly
And for sure I'm not as tough as Bond
But you just don't mind it
And we're drinking good old watered wine
Laughing till our sides split
And we're grooving...
Good and bad and ugly
I can be right anything you want
Drop-dead handsome, hardly
And for sure I'm not as tough as Bond
But you just don't mind it
And we're drinking good old watered wine
Laughing till our sides split
And we're grooving just fine

PURSUIT OF HAPPILESSNESS
And you're running away
And you're burning the bridge
And you think that's the way
To join the rich, to join the happy...
But suddenly
A little doubt about
What you're leaving behind
Slowly starts to green out and feels your mind
You want to break it
You want to make it
All you have now doesn't matter
You deserve much more and better
Pursuit of happiness
And you are blessed
With more of happilessness
Like a shark when asleep
Moving forward down deep
I am never misled
Never drift, always swim ahead.
I dig the process and not the goal
I'm the man of her wishes,
She's the girl of my wishes
Do I need better?
Am I that vicious?
I can relate to your frustration,
It grows by day with escalation...
Pursuit of happiness
And you are blessed
With more of happilessness

FALLING
Misty morning, rays of sun are touchable again
Heard the warning of the ground frost declaring winter's reign
Golden, yellow, blood and rain they're dancing in the sky
Leaves are falling, they're so graceful when they die
Falling down...
Windowsill and cup of tea, I feel like going for a walk
Noone's near, it's fine by me, I do not really have to talk
Walking down and kicking leaves, I’ve fancied that since 1989
And I'm jumping on the pile...
Misty morning, lying flat and looking in the sky
Gentle murmur of the falling leaves
The autumn's sigh...

A HAPPY SONG
My little love
The one I’m so proud of
My sunny day on Sunday
This is my happy song
I guess it’s never wrong
To sing a happy song
When you are happy
You're what I breathe
The one that runs beneath
Beneath my skin
My soul twin
This is my happy song
About where I belong
About how feeling's strong
Unbreakably
Tender morning sun is rising new
Your eyes are skyful blue
Run fingers thru my hair
All set, the wind is fair
Hold on tight
We're taking off tonight
You are my eyes
To help me see what is nice
You are my all five senses
This is my happy song
And there is nothing wrong
With singing a happy song
When you are near
You are so near
I have no reason to fear
We’re dancing in slow motion
This is my happy song
Come on and sing along
Go let your hair down
No one will ever frown

Stop 'N' Listen

STOP ‘N’ LISTEN
Downtown crowded street
Here, now, I'm not that very hard to meet
I just play my six string,
Bare my soul, sing my song and do wink
At onlookers, passersby, and those who care
Stop and Listen
To the story of pure words and kisses
Stop and Listen
Give it a try
Stop and kiss me
Been so long without someone to miss me
Been so long since I cried
Hey mate, what's your name?
Wait! Great! I’m at the height of my own fame
You can take a picture, you can make me a wee bit richer
Funny creature, singing preacher in a frame
Stop and Listen
To the story of pure words and kisses
Stop and Listen
Give me a try
Stop and kiss me
Been so long without someone to miss me
Been so long since I cried
Stop and Listen
To the story of pure words and kisses
Stop and Listen
Drop me a dime
Stop and kiss me
Been so long without someone to miss me
Been so long since I cried

NAIMA
Small princess, sweet child
So graceful, so wild
With toes in the sand
Playing with castles
Tight brunches, tanned face
So much to embrace
Helps mommy with chores
Working her magic
And Naima does it everyday
Hot sunset, the day was so long
She's dancing, her shadow's oblong
She's singing what everyone wants
Naima
The pearl of her smile
Walking up the aisle
Enlightens the room
Flowers start blooming
Her princess, her child
Sleeps to a lullaby
So loving, so true
Cuddling and kissing
And Naima does it everyday
Hot sunset, the day was so long
She's dancing, her shadow's oblong
She's singing what everyone needs
Naima
