How do they live, how do they go on?

G/C/G/C

1. (Em) I don´t (Cadd9) know, (G) how to sur(D)vive
(Em) your crazy (Cadd9) life  and (G) no lulla(D)bies.
Your (C) trips and endless (G) work are still
(Cadd9) hard to handle, I (G) have no skills.

(Cadd9) Let it (G) be, (Cadd9) just let (G) go.

Mm-mm ... (Cadd9/G 2x)

Chorus: (G) How do they (Cadd9) live, how do they go (G) on
whose love is (Cadd9) lonely, how do they go (G) on?
No hope to (Cadd9) even get one simple (G) glaance, 
no hope to (Em) have a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny change.

2. (Em) I dont´t (Cadd9) blame you, (G) not any(D)more.
(Em) Can´t change your (Cadd9) soul, (G) not any(D)more.
The (Cadd9) ribbons teared from my (G) wedding dress
(Cadd9) flew away, I´m (G) more than less.

Mmm-mm
(Cadd9) Just keep (G) going, (Cadd9) just let it (G) be.
(Cadd9) Easy to (G) say, but it´s (Cadd9) not really (G).

Mm-mm.

CHORUS: (G) How do they (Cadd9) live, how do they go (G) on
whose love is (Cadd9) lonely, how do they go (G) on?
No hope to (Cadd9) even get one simple (G) glaance, 
no hope to (Em) have a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny change.

Chorus: 2. time
End:  love (Em) always has a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny chance.

Bye-bye, Lullaby

"The World So Big" - my friend who travels around the world daily, said once that the world is so small. Starting in the morning you can be other said of the world for the evening.
True. 
I was thinking if you travel whole life looking for happiness, then only thing you really need is LOVE, someone close to you.

The World So Big

Chorus:
The world is so big. You can go wherever you want.
And all the Universe is there in front of you.

The World So Big

(Verse 1)
I found myself on an unnamed path,
The cliffs whispered riddles that the wind laughed past.
A guide appeared, though I never saw his face,
Only his voice, like tides pulling me into place.

He said, "The work begins not with answers sought,
But in the quiet places where you think you're lost."
At the edge of the world, by a cove long gone,
I took the first step as the night pressed on.

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Verse 2)
By the mines of Porthcurno, where the sun sets late,
I followed a trail carved by silence and fate.
He said, "Every ladder will lead to the ground,
Each step a circle that must turn back around."

The mirror reflected what I couldn’t yet see,
Not who I was, but what I could be.
The abyss stared back with its hollow gaze,
And I felt the work in the slowest of days.

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Bridge)
At the Lizard’s edge, the ocean held its breath,
A space between moments, a glimpse beyond death.
He said, "In falling, you find what holds you inside,
In breaking apart, the pieces collide."

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Outro)
The guide faded, like mist on the shore,
His words remained, though I heard them no more.
I stood at the edge where beginnings unfold,
And knew that the work was in what I could hold.

The Work

Marriage - long time desicions. But pair is stronger than one.
Inspired by my friends married 25 years.

Chorus

Dream-life

The wind carries whispers, soft and near,
Mae’r gwynt yn canu, but it’s quiet here.
We trace the patterns, your hand in mine,
Drawing stories on the shore, line by line.

"Tima fy seren fach"
"Do you see the waves? They sparkle like jewels on treasure caves"
"Your laugh cuts through the morning mist,
The tide creeps closer, but it’s gently kissed"
“Mae’n edrych fel celf you say with a grin,
And I watch as you carve a world within."

Lines in the sand, washed by the tide,
Stories we tell, where moments collide.
Each wave a reminder, fleeting yet grand,
Mae’r môr yn cofio, the lines in the sand.

“Look, little sun, do you see the shell?
Is it a home? Does it have tales to tell?”
A seashell glimmers, a fragment, a trace,
Of something ancient, time can’t erase.
We talk of the waves, their endless refrain,
But I see your wonder, untouched by pain.

The sea gives and takes, a rhythm so pure,
But our lines remain, in memory secure.

Lines in the sand, swept by the sea,
Moments of love, for you and for me.
Each wave a rhythm, soft on the strand,
Yn y gwynt, mae’r straeon yn sefyll yn wan.
(In the wind, the stories faintly stand.)

“Do you think, Tima, that the sea keeps our marks?
Like a treasure buried deep in its heart?”
The sky turns to amber, the day growing late,
We sit by the shore, and I marvel at fate.
Your small hand draws circles, infinite and true,
And I see eternity reflected in you.

Mae’r tonnau’n codi, a’n hanesion yn parhau,
(The waves rise, and our stories endure,)
Each line a connection, fragile yet sure.
Though the sea may erase, it never forgets,
A legacy written in the tides’ silhouettes.

“Pan oeddwn i’n dy oed di,” I softly confess,
I wrote my own stories, now yours are the best.”
As stars take their places, the tide pulls away,
Leaving the canvas where we chose to stay.
We sit together, your tiny hand in mine,
Marking the moments, tracing time’s line.

Lines in the sand, fleeting but bright,
Marks of our love in the fading light.
The tide carries whispers, over the strand,
Mae’r cariad yn parhau, yn y llinellau’n y tywod.
(Love endures, in the lines in the sand.)

The sea sings softly, its lullaby true,
Mae’r gwynt yn tawelu, calling to you.
Under the stars, on this sacred land,
We live forever, in the lines in the sand.
