--

so you made it out of
this old town
and you, you ran away
what'd you expect 
that i would do
when you're gone without a trace

it ain't my calling
to stay here hollering
calling out your name
when you return 
you will find 
that this will never be the same

no woah
no it won't ever be the same

oh no
oh no
it'll never be the same

you tried to trick me
and win me out but 
i don't think you ever gave a damn about
anything that i really cared for
all you wanted was 
what i had to offer and more

what you needed 
was somebody
to tell you it would all be alright
and so you left
all in the night
thinking that i might just stay

but you will find
that i'm not there
'cuz, i too, can slip into thin air 
i won't stay 
for this ghost story
i'm out to find my damn glory

'cuz i don't need you
and i don't want to break your heart 
that means you had to have one
and i can say with sure certainty
that if you have a heart
it has turned into stone

into stone
into stone
into stone

into stone
into stone
your heart is nothing but
stone

Nothing But Stone

Long Hours

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Verse 1:
As I walk alone beneath the moonlight,
Memories of us flood my mind tonight.
We had dreams, plans carved in stone,
Now I'm left to face this world alone.

Chorus:
Tears in the rain, while calling your name
Dreaming of days when you'd feel the same. 
Walking these streets, heart full of pain, 
Fighting to bring back our love again

Verse 2:
I see your smile in every place we knew,
The laughter shared, the love that grew.
Mistakes were made, words left unsaid,
Now I'm haunted by the tears we've shed.

Verse 3:
I'm reaching out, hoping you'll see,
The man I am, who I can be.
Let's mend the pieces, heal the scars,
Find our way back to the stars.

Chorus:
Tears in the rain, I'm calling your name
Dreaming of days when you'd feel the same. 
Walking these streets, heart full of pain, 
Fighting to bring back our love again

Verse 4:
The road ahead is unclear and long,
But my love for you remains strong.
With hope as my guide, I'll make this plea,
That we find our way back, you and me.

Chorus:
Tears in the rain, I'm calling your name
Dreaming of days when you'd feel the same. 
Walking these streets, heart full of pain, 
Fighting to bring back our love again

Verse 5:
Though the future is uncertain, I hold on tight,
Believing we'll emerge from this dark night.
Hand in hand, we'll face what's in store,
Stronger than ever, forevermore.

Chorus:
Tears in the rain, I'm calling your name
Dreaming of days when you'd feel the same. 
Walking these streets, heart full of pain, 
Fighting to bring back our love again

Outro:
Is it too late for us to mend?
To rediscover love again? 
I stand here with an open plea, 
Hoping you'll come back to me.

[End]
Is it too late for us to mend?
To rediscover love again? 
I stand here with an open plea, 
Hoping you'll come back to me.


Tears in the Rain (Revised)

Somewhere in the dark, I hear you say my name
Like a lighthouse calling, like a hand in the rain

I leave notes on the mirror, trace my name in the dust
Tie a ribbon ‘round my finger, but time still forgets us
The days slip through like water, the years move like the tide
But I know you’ll be waiting, standing just outside.
Oh, I know you'll be waiting, standing just outside.

If I forget my own name, will you whisper it slow?
Like the wind through the branches, like a song only we know
If my thoughts start to wander, if the room feels too wide
Will you pull me in closer, keep me safe by your side?

I lose track of the seasons, but I remember your face
The warmth in your laughter, the way your touch stays
You sing in the kitchen, some tune from before
And I follow the sound back home to your door.
Oh, I follow the sound back home to your door.

If I forget my own name, will you whisper it slow?
Like the wind through the branches, like a song only we know
If my thoughts start to wander, if the room feels too wide
Will you pull me in closer, keep me safe by your side?

Time is a thief with no kindness to spare
But love is a lantern, still glowing somewhere
So when the light flickers, when I start to stray
Promise you’ll find me, and show me the way.

If I forget my own name, will you whisper it slow?
Like the wind through the branches, like a song only we know
If my thoughts start to wander, if the room feels too wide
Will you pull me in closer, keep me safe by your side?

If I forget my own name, will you say it once more?
Like a prayer in the morning, like a wave on the shore

If I forget my own name, will you say it once more?
Like a prayer in the morning, like a wave on the shore

If I Forget My Own Name

There are songs that are not heard, only felt.
This one lives in the spaces between words —
the prayer of the forest, the breath of the roots.

Są pieśni, których się nie słyszy, tylko czuje.
Ta żyje w przestrzeniach między słowami —
modlitwa lasu, oddech korzeni.

Sanmor’Vani – The Silent Song

held//numb

A rendition of Elton John's classic track Your Song. A simple and beautiful, stripped back arrangement performed by the multi talented Wayne Lewis and sung by myself under my real name.

Your Song

Lake Life  🌊🎶

Close your eyes and let Lake Life take you there - a place where time slows down, and the water reflects the golden sky. This folk - country tune captures the essence of lazy summer afternoons, the scent of pine, and the gentle waves lapping at the shore. With warm acoustic melodies and heartfelt lyrics, it's a song about freedom, simplicity, and finding peace in nature's embrace.

So grab a cold drink, kick off your boots, and let Lake Life carry you away.

I see music in the stars, I hear music when I sleep, its a never ending story... Paulo Sergio Carvalho, known to the music world as iPauloSergio, was born in the stunning city of Ponta Delgada in the Azores, Portugal. His early years were enriched by the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of the islands. At the tender age of 13, Paulo discovered his passion for music, immersing himself in the sounds of the piano, keyboards, and guitar. This early exposure laid the foundation for his lifelong love of music and set him on a path to become a multifaceted musician.

Paulo’s music is a rich tapestry woven from a wide array of influences. He admires legends such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan for their storytelling prowess, while also drawing inspiration from the melodic genius of Billy Joel and the powerful anthems of Journey and Van Halen. Furthermore, the innovative sounds of electronic pop icons like Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode can be felt in his work. This fusion of genres reflects Paulo's ability to connect with a diverse audience and create music that resonates on multiple levels.

In addition to his solo pursuits, Paulo has collaborated with fellow musician iGracie to write songs for various bands, including the country outfit Devils and Debutantes and the indie rock group Love Bomb Poets Society. These partnerships have allowed him to explore different musical styles and expand his songwriting repertoire, blending heartfelt lyrics with catchy melodies that appeal to listeners across genres.
