"Dear Mum 
I'm writing this far from home
It's Christmas time and
You're alone 
And I'm stuck here 

Life can be hard
With miles between you and me 
But I'll be coming home when I am free 
Please wait for me 

And Snow will be falling until July 
The eggnog will make you and me 
Smile
How i wish 
I wish I could fly 

Planes on the ground 
No one will get home today
Luckily I have this phone to say 
I miss You

And Snow will be falling until July 
The eggnog will make you and me 
Smile
How i wish 
I wish I could fly 

Pray for me 
'Cause London can be cold 
I close my eyes and I touch the soul 
A star on the Christmas Tree 

And Snow will be falling until July 
The eggnog will make you and me 
Smile
Wait for me 
I miss You"

Christmas Song written by Pedro De Bruyckere.

Snow in July

"See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
And lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines

And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

I fell out of his eyes
I fell out of his heart
I fell down on my face
I tripped and missed my star
I fell and felt alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own".

Music /Lyrics: Jimmy Webb
Song from the debut album 'Island Girl' by Aleksandra & The Belgian Sweets

The moon's a harsh mistress

"Because you are beautiful 
the softness of my knees 
is for you 

The smoothness of my dress
Crawls to your dream

I shine
Above the sleeping August Sky

And the stars of my eyes fall down
into the white fur."

"Sleeping Unicorn" ("Spiacy Jednorozec") comes from the debut album of Aleksandra and The Belgian Sweets.

Spiacy Jednorozec (Sleeping Unicorn)

"Be close to me
For only then 
I stop being cold 
Feeling the chill of the open
When I measure 
how vast it is 
and how small I am 

All I need is 
Ever your two arms 
Around me
Two rays of the Universe."

Poem by Halina Poswiatowska
Music: Aleksandra Kwasniewska & The Belgian Sweets

Badz przy mnie blisko (Be close to me)

***
"Moje kolana ustępujące
i twoja dłoń na mojej szyi
- po wielkim niebie
chodzi słońce -
 
zwabione
barwą twoich źrenic
odgina powieki
i wilgoć pije
 
a potem
ziemia jest sucha i brunatna
błądzą po niej
złote cętki światła
 
palce twoje
odchylające w dół
moją szyję."
