The Riot

You may think my life is quiet.
I find it full of change,
An ever-varied diet,
As piquant as 'tis strange.

Wild thoughts are always flying,
Like sparks across my brain,
Now flashing out, now dying,
To kindle soon again.

Fine fancies set me thrilling,
And subtle monsters creep
Before my sight unwilling:
They even haunt my sleep.

One broad, perpetual riot
Enfolds me night and day.
You think my life is quiet?
You don't know what you say.

The Riot

Valerie Dohren wrote this wonderful lyrics
and we made the music to this poem

Two Shadows

I saw … two shadows walking
Yet I was there alone
Two shadows … softly drifting
As I walked on my own

Two shadows … in the sunlight
Two shadows there with me
As I turned … round to see them
One mine, the other she

But she was … not there with me
Not there, not by my side
Yet still … two shadows lingered
Though long ago she died

I saw … two shadows walking
Upon that lovely day
I saw … one softly drifting
Then slowly fade away

from Waiting Hearts EP, 
released 24 July 2014,
recorded, mixed & produced by Blackout Country 
at the HLW6 Studio,

Two Shadows

the lyrics are written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 - 1919)

Love Will Wane

When your love begins to wane,
Spare me from the cruel pain
Of all speech that tells me so -
Spare me words, for I shall know,

By the arms that still enfold
But have lost their clinging hold,
And, too willing, let me go,
I shall know, love, I shall know.

Love will wane. But I shall know,
If you do not tell me so.
Know it, tho' you smile and say,
That you love me more each day.

Bitter will the knowledge be,
Bitterer than death to me.
Yet, it will come to me some day,
For it is sad world's way.

Make no vows - vows cannot bind
Changing hearts of wayward mind.
Men grow weary of a bliss
Passionate and fond as this.

Love will wane. But I shall know,
If you do not tell me so.
Know it, tho' you smile and say,
That you love me more each day.

Know it by the inner sight
That forever sees aright.
Words could not but increase my woe,
And without them, I shall know.

Love will wane. But I shall know,
If you do not tell me so.
Know it, tho' you smile and say,
That you love me more each day.

Blackout Country - Love Will Wane

Blackout Country - I Am

the lyrics base on the poem "I Am" from Valerie Dohren
thank you Val

all music is written, played, recorded, mixed & produced by Blackout Country at the HLW6 Studio, Germany, 2015

I am the wind that blows in your hair
I am the joy in the smile that you wear
I am the rainbow spanning the skies
I am the teardrops that fall from your eyes

I am your candle with flickering flame
I am the language that speaks out your name
I am the ripples you see in the streams
I am the essence of each of your dreams

I am the land and I am the sea
I am all that you want me to be
I am the land and I am the sea
I am your soul........ I am not me

I am the sun that shines in the sky
I am the breath exhaled in your sigh
I am the fire that burns in your soul
I am the shadow o`er mountains to roll

I am the land and I am the sea
I am all that you want me to be
I am the land and I am the sea
I am your soul........ I am not me

I am like the wind in a tree
I am all that you want me to be
I am caught in you and I am not free
'cos I am your soul and I am not free
