PASSIO
With hands to symbolize
And words to emphasize
Mistaken by surprise – again
The folly of the days
A search for means and ways
The endless passion plays – the truth
A wish for remedy
The youthful energy
When only fantasy – remain
A humble overture
With nothing set for sure
Alas - be faith the only cure
And with the morning dew
A tiny spark renew
If only just for you – to be
A quiet emptiness
Regarding more as less
A solemn happiness – again?
Released from history
Talk to me – will you walk with me?
No voice of sophistry
Walk with me

COME TO ME
Come to me – O, come to me, sweet daughter of the vine
Let me tell you stories of a journey true and fine
Let me sing you lullabies with dreams of near and far
Come to me – O, come to me, little distant star
Dance for me – O, dance for me
Sing to me – O, sing to me, dear brother of the vine
I can feel your struggle from a journey of decline
Save me from your fairytales, but render up your heart
Sing for me – O, sing for me, make a regal start
Run to me – O, run to me, else we shall depart
Dance with me – O, dance with me, dear lady of the vine
Let me feel your presence and let our souls entwine
Let me hear your rhapsody of happiness and grief
Dance with me – O, dance with me, make my tarry brief
Come to me – O, come to me, swiftly as a thief
Since I lost you, I´ve been missing you
Since I left you, I´ve been missing you
All though I forgot you – I´m still missing you, missing you
Stay with me – O, stay with me, dear mother of the vine
Let me feel the wisdom of your journey true and fine
Let me sleep inside your dreams of tenderness and care
Lay with me – O, lay with me, and teach me how to bear
Stay with me – O, stay with me, here and everywhere

EVENSONG
Dust to dust
Beyond belief
There’s nothing else
Dearest sleep
Come be my friend
Bestow my heart
The cleansing of your splendid colors
This sweet embrace
A gift of grace
For they call from the woods
To bring you tears
Bring you pearls of hope
From the woods
To bring you new
Bring you home
A cold recoil
This grinding toil
This tainted soil
But then they call from the woods
To bring you tears
To bring you life and love
For your heart
For your stride
To bring you home

OPAL TEARS

OPAL TEARS
Blending into grey
Feeling quite astray
In this fair with its merry-go-round
An omnipresent cry
A luminescent why
In the instinct of a hurting soul
Some happy day
In the drift through this humdrum
We’ll smell the flowers on the way
Child, don’t cry
We are holding up the sky
Heart and mind for the happy few?
Effortlessly free
Happy just to be
In a moment of everlasting joy
What an awful shame
They’re calling out your name
To be witness is tearing me apart
Child, don’t cry
We are holding up the sky
Heart and mind for the happy few?
They’re running through the years
Those quiet opal tears
With the kindlings of a broken truth
To light a plan for the merriment of man
Child, don’t cry
We are holding up the sky
Heart and mind for the happy few?
It’s running through the years
This opal trail of tears
Leaving embers of a golden dream
So, child, don’t cry – you have everything
To light a plan for the merriment of man

LARGO
Will you spend all your time counting lies?
I could show you the world - or even more
Remember all the why´s
We could play in the wild - in symphony
We could offer the bright life a place - a jocund company
There´s nothing above - and nothing below
But the beauty and the flow - that blinds the idle eye
And I could dwell in your charm
Be safe from harm, secure in your arms
Will you waste all your time chasing ghosts?
And be a ghost yourself?
We could swim in the now
Be caught in the how - of everything
And not be fooled by shadows all around
Or we could give up our dreams
And die - for a lie
A stupendous triumph for the gargoyles of the past
There´s nothing within - and nothing without
But the lost and the found - the song and it´s sound
And I could dwell in your charm
Be safe from harm, secure in your arms

WELCOME TO OUR TRIBE
Welcome to our tribe – nothing left to hide
Welcome to this place we call our home
Gather round this fire – an electric choir
Welcome to the stories no one told
Welcome to this space – an embryonic grace
Welcome to a new and other world
Drums are beating higher in this magnetic fire
Welcome to the battle and the blow
To the water, the sun and the flowers and the breeze
The whispering life between all the trees
Where the unseen call through the quiet night
And the lamb and the lion lie next to thee
Can you hear the mountain call?
Can you feel yourself at all?
We know you´ve been waiting so long for this release
We know you´ve been going through so much pain
It´s been a long, long journey – somehow
To the water, the sun and the flowers and the breeze
Where the unseen call through the quiet night
And the lamb and the lion - lie next to thee
Welcome to our tribe
Welcome to this space

THE WALTZ

THE WALTZ
Grant me the will to succeed
Give me the strength to obtain
Light in my heart as I bleed
Rescue my words from constrain
Give me the time of my life
Call me the love of your heart
I treasure the blade of your knife
Leaves only truth to impart
I´m holding on
Lend me your ears as I call
Out to the void in despair
Nothing is left to appall
Stripped from the wear and the tear
Wait for me, heavenly son
I savor the thrust of your spear
Carry me home when I'm done
Light, as you travel from here
I´m holding on – holding on
I bring you my scars and my mourn
I bring you my tears of dismay
Hence, to endure I was born
Why did you lead me astray?
What can I ask beyond this?
I smile as I fathom your way
And breathe in the absence of bliss
Now, as the brass starts to play
I´m holding on – holding on
I´m letting go
