 Verse 1:
The wheels keep turning, the city moves fast,
faces in the windows, memories from the past.
A schoolboy runs, full of life and grace,
I wonder if I’ll ever keep up the pace.
The garbage truck rolls, the man on the back,
his strength’s a reminder of all that I lack.

Pre-Chorus:
So close, but out of reach,
the streets I know, the lessons they teach.
Every turn, a bittersweet scar,
so close to home, yet so far.

Chorus:
The golden angel watches from above,
a symbol of hope, a city I love.
Ten minutes away, but worlds apart,
I carry this pain deep in my heart.
So close, yet so far.

Verse 2:
We drive through Mitte, the signs pass by,
Döner shops lining the streets that cry.
How do they survive, I wonder aloud,
while I’m here, lost in a faceless crowd?
The lights of home, just a turn away,
but the path is long, I cannot stay.

Bridge:
The laughter of children, the warmth of her hand,
a life I once held, slipping like sand.
The city moves on, while I stand still,
fighting to heal, against my will.

(Guitar-Solo)

Chorus (Variation):
The golden angel shines so bright,
a beacon of hope in the endless night.
Ten minutes away, but it feels so far,
I chase a dream beneath this scar.
So close, yet so far.

Outro:
I’ll run again, I’ll hold them tight,
I’ll reach my home, I’ll win this fight.
For now, I watch, as life goes on,
so close to home, but I’m not alone.

So Close, So Far

You’ll never see the end to life
You’ll never know the pain that becomes your own
You try to do the best you can
Until the day you wake up and you'll find

You could fall from grace anytime
And you won’t know when it hits you
But when it does

You pick yourself on up, and dust yourself down
And finish what you started
Don’t be so dumb
‘Cause when life gets you down
Remember you’re the one, to rise above
And finish what you started
Finish what you started

They’ll always try to bring you down
They’ll make you feel uneasy when you pray
Don’t ever turn your back on them
Remember when you hear the words that they say

You could fall from grace anytime
And you won’t know when it hits you
But when it does

You pick yourself on up, and dust yourself down
And finish what you started
Don’t be so dumb
‘Cause when life gets you down
Remember you’re the one, to rise above
And finish what you started
Finish what you started
Finish what you started
Finish what you started

'Cause you could fall from grace anytime
And you won’t know when it hits you
But when it does

You pick yourself on up, and dust yourself down
And finish what you started
Don’t be so dumb
‘Cause when life gets you down
Remember you’re the one, to rise above
Ooh Yeah
You pick yourself on up, and dust yourself down
And finish what you started
Don’t be so dumb
‘Cause when life gets you down
Remember you’re the one, to rise above
Ooh Yeah
Pick yourself on up, and dust yourself down
And finish what you started
Don’t be so dumb
When life gets you down
Remember you’re the one, to rise above
And finish what you started
Finish what you started
Finish what you started
Finish what you started

Rain on the Windowpane

To Give

gleeful Lies follow me tonight

[Verse 1]
Midnight wind blows through the hangar door
I sit alone where we met before
Your voice still haunts the empty air
Like echoes caught in the cold night glare

[Pre-Chorus]
The weight between us, hard to name
Lost in the silence, frozen flame

[Chorus]
Docking Bay 12, where we almost began
Trading words with trembling hands
You glanced back once, then disappeared
I’m stuck where love once appeared

[Verse 2]
Scanners hum and engines sigh
I hum our song beneath the sky
Every ship that glides on through
Could be you, but never you

[Pre-Chorus]
We sparked a fire with signal lights
Left it cold in endless nights

[Chorus]
Docking Bay 12, still smells like flight
Steam and shadows of our night
No liftoff now, just quiet sound
One heart beat lost on grounded ground

[Bridge]
And though the stars may call your name
I’m here where time stays just the same
Waiting in this hollow space
For a ghost I can’t replace

[Chorus]
Docking Bay 12, where we almost began
Trading words with trembling hands
You glanced back once, then disappeared
I’m stuck where love once appeared

[Outro] (spoken softly)
If this bay still holds our past
I’ll be here… until the last

Docking Bay 12

I have written several pieces of poetry over the years linked to doomed relationships, which have filled 8 books I’ve had published. There are also included memories of times spent in military service during conflicts and wars. I thought I might add music to some of them. Here are my meagre attempts.
