Goodnight Berlin

Sleep well, little darling

Don’t let this angst get in the way

Love slips away, no crying 

We both know It’s getting late


It’s killing us, sweet darling

Devouring our home night and day

So let it be now, no fighting 

Had the time, no true words to say


Arms around you, my darling

Locked yourself in, my yearning outside

We came so close, stopped trying

I breathe a sigh, helplessly by your side


Dream of him, Oh darling

As the world we built is torn apart 

He calls your name, you’re smiling

A picture of a brand new start

Take you on a cruise

I remember having told the pirate lady about the lack of mail flowing through these currents and the little interest this sailor had in getting any message across. The sea hadn’t been easy for the past few moths and it gave neither rest nor truce, yet she managed to come by into my rusty ship and made some odd but sweet demand: She wished to find some mail. Words were like gold and jewels to her and what could lie between those written lines represented the worth of her sought-after treasures. She’d been buccaneering these waters long before I had. She knew best. Another night, another sail through, Field Commander Cohen was whistling up to the stars and throwing the occasional howl at that moon, strumming those gentle chords while the old man Bukowski kept sipping white wine with his maids. He pulled them out of the water every now and then. I never cared for what they did; they were a good crew, loyal company. I sensed these men knew and shared something I didn't quite know...

Late, Later On

One of these days I will be as gone as I could be, so you can go back to sleep now darling, because we may never be, and this is something I’ve been told, right from day one. Within these words I am left to be found, forsaken and flirting with time, because silence won’t make it truer, and this is something I’ve known, right from the start. Out on the highway and into the shadowlands, when your night is eclipsed, I’ll be out of sight. You will long live in my memories, so sleep tight sweet dreams my darling, because tomorrow is all there is, and for me a new day is dawning, right out of you heart. Out on the highway and into the shadowlands, when your night is eclipsed, I’ll be out of sight.

Burnt Down House

Don’t worry, sometimes this is just the way things are, we’ve been eating the same meals every day and the radio still plays the same old songs. I guess we both got somebody else in our minds. The truth falls before our eyes and drips onto the table again and again. Welcome to nowhere, th a t ’ s what reads on the sign. No common ground to stand on, so where do we go from here? -The road ahead stretches for miles and miles, every line on the asphalt rolling through the rearview m irror incites the sound of the sirens, I look up at the white metal ceiling as I dwell upon chasing a walking hurricane. The wind deserves praising for sweeping me away from the dirt a nd ashes of our temple into somewhere new. Oh she has the most beautiful of names, but the blisters on my hands tend to speak aloud, they would give me away so e asily and unlike you, I’ve wised up and scorched enough to be looking for an unjustified cause to play with fire. Hope your journey is as pleasant as mine, as for us...
