When I See You
----------------

When i see you
I could almost puke
When I see you
A strange shudder goes through and through
When I See You
My head turns bloodred
While the world shifts in two halves
And none of them would last
Without the other one…

When i see you
And that happens now and then again
It’s too uneasy to explain
My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look at the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart that pounds
And am all agitated
I avoid all pictures of you
Try not to think about it too much
Close my inner eye, too…

When i see you
And that happens now and then again
Oh, it’s so uneasy to explain
My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look on the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart that pounds… ahh…

solo

When i see you
You never talk to me
No reaction you show
Just stand somewhere off silently,
Peripheral,
In the background
Wthout a sound
How can I see what is not there ?
How can I remind what never took place ?
How can I feel that i was close to you,
Even if that was unreal, ?
And if I’d see you
As a monster,
As a hypocrate,
As a drama queen ?
And if i’d see you
As a mirror image ?
As a saviour ?
As a lover … ?

When I see you
Oh, when i see you
It’s so uneasy to explain
It’s too uneasy to explain…
When do I see you ?
When will i see you ?
When will i see you again ?

When I See You

Lass dich dabei treiben, lehne dich zurück und genieße die Klaviermusik.

Let yourself drift, sit back and enjoy the piano music.

Cheers

For Janett

I shared a Latin Pop version of this song two years ago with vocals performed by our friend Richard John (thank you Richard).  Well, here is another version of the song which existed back then that was not pursued.  As I'm scrapping the barrels, thought I might as well give it a go.  This is Celtic folk approach with a different ending where I added an additional verse of new melody & lyrics.

One of my favourite compositions.  Just see what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
And wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show how your path could be			
If you walk in peace and come along freely with me			
		
Watch the sun slip away into the night			
Hold each other till it goes out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only want to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up	and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head			
Thoughts of all we shared			
			
If you like, we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of magic as it begins to change			
I'm watching you thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
I can show you how I will guide your hand
	
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental break
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and keep thinking of me			
			
Have a secret dream		
No-one else can see			
No-one else can dream		
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head	
Thoughts of all we shared	

Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the sun slips into the night.............
Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the thoughts go out of sight

A song in an old tradition, with the wonderful Nadia Selvaggi. 
I recommend that you go and listen to her lovely music https://soundcloud.com/nadiaselvaggi

Oh, where is my love

Oh, where is my love
Oh, where has he gone
He has gone to the war
With fathers and sons
To fight for our right
to live a peaceful life
To safeguard the future 
of daughters and wives
To fight those other men
With rockets and knives

They were once our neighbours
Our cousins and our friends
We would live together
Brothers without end
How could they turn against us
What twisted reason wends
To create this wicked violence
To hell we will descend

Oh where is my loved one
I have heard not a word since he left our home
I fear I have lost him 
I have heard not a word
Please return to me my darling with the swiftness of a bird
Please fly to me my darling with the swiftness of a bird

They were once our neighbours (etc as above)


Oh, where is my love
Oh, where has he gone
He has gone to the war
With fathers and sons
To fight for our right
to live a peaceful life
To fight those other men
Who have daughters and wives

Oh, Where Is My Love (with Nadia)

La mer y était belle chancelante et cruelle
Les bleus gris s’allongent pour des reflets

Evidence, c’est la danse du bord de mer
Enivrante comme le sel au goût amer
Captivante dans les reflux solitaires
La vague est là, comme des bras en l’air

Nous aspire dans les regrets les souvenirs reviennent
Et non plus de   vents mauvais des poussières de haine
Les flots lumineux ne font pas nos peines
Ni nos espoirs déçus ils nous enchainent.

Chorus

Eternelles, sont les vagues dans les veines
Superficielles, libèrent les corps

Toujours le fil de l’eau éclaire
Même les vagues ordinaires
Dans les flots bleus où l’on se perd
Il y a … la mer

La Mer

A New Composition.......

Lyrics

Once upon a time 
I had a dream 
That said to me
Where are we going?
I am confused
What am I to do?


The path was unclear
A journey unknown
Fear of not knowing
An uncomfortable feeling
So, I just stopped thinking
And made my peace with what is


Lost in the unknown
Of what will be
When this journey ends 
What will we experience?
A feeling of nothingness
Or drifting toward the light


So many have come before
They have lived and they have died
Where are they now?
Just cosmic dust drifting away
Does the soul really live on?
When this human life ends 


These are the things one thinks of
When the age of time creeps closer
The end of the line
The end of the road
Visions of your life story
Pass before you as you drift away

Finished with my woman …

Beat me with a big stick 
Trying all your usual tricks 
That ain’t gonna cut it no no 
That ain’t gonna cut it no more
Frozen in your headlights 
Helpless in your dead lights 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love
Blow me up with a bomb bomb bomb
Shoulder for my tears 
Get to know me inside out
Then attack me with my fears

Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 

So I went down to the river
The witch told me the cure
I must spit when I say your name
Throw your picture into the flames 
Cross myself 1 2 3 times
Salt the earth where you stood beside me 
Then I cut - cut you out 
Once upon a time I was cursed by love

You thought you could fool me
Thought you controlled me
Thought you could take me 
Thought you could keep me
Underestimated me
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 
Now it’s you in my head lights 
And it’s you in my dead lights 
Finished with my woman 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love

Mark Music Medley (part 1: 2000-2004)

[Verse]
Wide roads stretch like a lazy yawn
Sunlight dripping soft on a moon kissed dawn
No thorns no stickers just open space
You glide like a breeze gently keeping the pace

[Chorus]
But the path ain't free
Your will is your key
Every step costs blood or air
But they all lead somewhere

[Verse 2]
Jagged rocks tear at the soles
Shadows eat the light whole
Hands raw knees bruised teeth grit tight
Every inch a battle every breath a fight

[Chorus]
But the path ain't free
Your will is your key
Every step costs blood or air
But they all lead somewhere

[Bridge]
Some days smooth like silk
Others break like glass
Sometimes you fly
Sometimes you crawl
But forward’s forward
You can’t outrun it all

[Chorus]
No the path ain't free
Your will is your key
Every step costs blood or air
But they all lead somewhere

Somewhere

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.
