Your Eyes ~ 2020

Arms Wrapped Around

Often it’s so lonely – even in a pair
When darkness strikes and streets are full of fear
It’s as though love’s gone to ground
And we steel ourselves again
To faces set like masks in silent stare

But even though I’m hollow 
You’ll warm me up inside
With your arms wrapped around, 
With your arms wrapped around

And even though you’re empty
I’ll lift you up tonight
With my arms wrapped around, 
With my arms wrapped around

Yes we’re on the streets tonight – marching with a sign
Cause love is the very thing we’re living for
And when the fight will dissipate
The anarchy has fled
We’ll crawl between the sheets and bolt the door

Yes even though I’m hollow . . . my arms wrapped around

You’re wrapped around me – I’m so glad you’re here 
Squeezing me tighter – I’m never gonna you let go

Lyrics (keeping it sparse as usual and to the point)

Verse 1
Your Life – it’s a beautiful thing
One Life – it’s yours to win

Chorus 1
Dark clouds bring a brand new day
Dark clouds wash it all away

Verse 2
Sometimes life, it takes you away
To another time, another place

Chorus 2
Dark clouds bring a brand new day
Dark clouds wash it all away

Bridge
When your heart longs for another day
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright

Outro
Dark clouds bring a brand new day
Dark clouds wash it all away
Wash it all away…

Manet
Alta mente
Repositum
Time and tide

The screaming in the distance
The burning of the land
The warnings are conspicuous
It’s coming to an end
There’s no way back

The salad days are over
In darkness buried deep
And in the heartbeat of a lifetime
The fear I dread to meet

The dream you dare not dream
The hollow lands you’ve seen
Time and tide will leave you in the end

The valley of the dead
With resting places left
Time and tide won’t wait for you my friend

The ghost of your desire
Dancing in the fire
So near so far
Like a fading star

Time and tide will leave you in the end
The valley of the dead
With resting places left
Time and tide won’t wait for you my friend

Between the falling shadow
And the promise of tomorrow
Time is short
It’s withering away

Time and Tide

I'm writing new tracks for some upcoming releases. So for the next few months I'll be re-releasing some oldies. Here's the first... enjoy :)

"Desert of Time"

And every day feels the same like this
And every night feels the same like that
And every time feels the same again


ah ah I feel so lost 
I feel lost 
hey...

And every day I feel the same like you
And every night I feel like nothing is true
And every time, I feel I did this again

ah ah I feel so lost now
I feel lost
hey hey...

And every day feels like this ah
And every night feels like that ah
And every time feels the same again ah

ahh I feel so lost now
I feel lost now
I feel lost 
hey hey..
I feel lost 

And every day feels the same I know ah
And every night feels the same ah right now

I feel so lost now
I feel lost this time oh yeah
so lost
I feel lost 
ah hey 
I feel so lost , I feel lost 
right now

Woman (Lyrics)

Woman I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I'm forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh, well well
Doo doo doo, doo doo
Ooh, well well
Doo doo doo, doo doo

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Ooh, well well
Doo doo doo, doo doo
Ooh, well well
Doo doo doo, doo doo

Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah yeah
Now and forever
