Plans made, unfulfilled
For a life not lived
We dared to believe it was real
But it wasn’t to be for us
What we grasped for a moment turned to dust
Fleeting perfection, swiftly crushed
Now I survive, because I must

What do I do with the pain
To live life again
To remember is hard
To forget is even harder
We’re together alone
I cry but you won’t
I’m weak and you’re strong 
But who will fall the hardest?

Do you remember before
The darkness came to call
And took away the dream
Now I yearn for those days
To not know, not feel this way
To be ignorant, to be free
To unsee what I have seen

What do I do with the pain
To live life again
To remember is hard
To forget is even harder
We’re together alone
I cry but you won’t
I’m weak and you’re strong 
But who will fall the hardest?

Please listen to me
I’m here and I need you 
We’re different I know
Let me in and I’ll show you
Love can exist with pain
And weakness is a strength
Together we’ll find
I’ll ease your hurt and you’ll ease mine

What do I do with the pain
To live life again
To remember is hard
To forget is even harder
We’re together alone
I cry but you won’t
I’m weak and you’re strong 
But who will fall the hardest?

Who Will Fall?

Eggshells and rollercoasters
I don’t know which I fear the most
Just waiting for the explosion
It comes even when not provoked
You sidle up to me
And bury your head in my chest
Your arms, they pull me
Even sleeping, you’re not at rest

Rollercoasters, the highs and lows
Confounding what you think and what you know
Nurture the spark, let it grow
You are my soul

Your laughter flows through me
Makes me happy like nothing else
Those who know, those who knew me
See a softness I never possessed
You’re the blinding sunlight
That peeps through the hole in the fence
Your light you like to keep hidden 
A perfect line of defence 

Rollercoasters, the highs and lows
Confounding what you think and what you know
Nurture the spark, let it grow
You are my soul

Hold tight, hang tough
You are enough
Hold tight, hang tough
You are enough

Rollercoasters, the highs and lows
Confounding what you think and what you know
Nurture the spark, let it grow
You are my soul

Eggshells & Rollercoasters

Verse 1
As I touch your trembling shoulder
I say love shouldn’t be this hard
You’re afraid to look at me
Scared I'll start
To make you talk, to make you think
Join the dots, find the link
You know that I won’t rest.. until I…

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Verse 2
It’s not the nail, that’s all you see
So hand that hammer straight to me
You think that you've all the answers
But I know that you are wrong
So I will fight you, I will bite
I will find a way to prove what’s right
You know that I won’t rest…..until I…

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you...

Verse 3
I know you turn onto yourself
Silence every cry for help
Let darkness kill the pain
It did before, it will again
But I am here to disabuse you
Of that notion, of that cure
And my kindness might feel cruel
Because it’s new to you and I will….

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Bridge
I know it’s hard to surrender
It’s hard to be helped
But sometimes you have to accept
That you can’t fix yourself

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Heal You

I see your silver hair and your smile
So proud yet all the while
Pleased to lead from behind
You always took the time
To let us speak our minds 
So sure that we’d shine

Like glowing embers, I still remember
Love warm and tender
Home was to be near you
That twinkle, that mischievous wink
But gone in a blink
I miss you, I miss you

So many nights, by the phone
You said never walk alone
So you ferried us home
Not a harsh word from your lips
Just the same sound script
And a hug and a kiss

Like glowing embers, I still remember
Love warm and tender
Home was to be near you
That twinkle, that mischievous wink
But gone in a blink
I miss you, I miss you

Now I’ve kids of my own
I see them through your eyes as they grow
You’d have loved them, I know
So I bring you to them instead
An extra kiss to the head
As I put them to bed

Like glowing embers, I still remember
Love warm and tender
Home was to be near you
That twinkle, that mischievous wink
But gone in a blink
I miss you, I miss you

Glowing Embers

I call to talk but I have nothing to say
I just want to hear your voice
I act like I don’t have a care in the world
And that not being yours was my choice
I wanted to tell you that I can’t stop thinking
Of you, your face, and your ways
But words once spoken can’t be reclaimed
So I play the role of friend instead

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

Your touch is accidental
But it hits like an lightening bolt
My face is a mask, I’ll never show
The feelings you evoke
Are you really not aware
Of the chaos you create
When you’re not here, I’m clear of mind
But one look and I can't think straight

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

I rest my hand on your seat
When I travel alone
You’re a ghost in my days
Presence felt, never shown
Not a chill, but a warmth in my bones
Like a secret, comforting shawl

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

False Friend

Je vais oser être vraie
Je vais oser comme Joséphine et me la jouer façon bad gurl
(Je vais oser) et te proposer une romance erratique au son de mes mélodies nocturnes
Même s’il n est que 16h ce dimanche et que le soleil revient
Laisse moi t inviter dans la cathédrale de mes sons ecstatiques
Où je te jouerai la sweet polyphony de mes désirs
Te prenant ainsi dans les phares de mon clair de lune artificiel.

Welcome to my subspace
Où je ne te propose rien d autre que du love dans un magnetic cloud.
J’y ferai l éloge de ta rousseur en attendant que le rouge te monte aux joues
Bien sûr je ne te dirai pas lesquelles, ici je te l avoue…
Au gré de cette méditation guidée, nous allons jouer et nous élever
jusqu’à ce que la dernière goutte soit tombée,
Jusqu’à ce que la dernière goutte soit tombée….

Laisse moi te séduire au son de mes black keys et mes harmonies
Laisse-moi t’envoûter avec my dark smooth melody
Sous la douceur lunaire, je serai ta hiérophante adorée
Sous les étoiles endormies, tu seras bien vite piégé(e)
Au sein des vagues sublimes du storm de nos phéromones
Où tu n auras plus qu’à succomber aux sons de notre attraction musicale….

Ce soir my love soyons fantasques et frivoles
Ce soir my love ce sera juste: « relax and let me take control »

——————————————————
TRANSLATION:

I'm going to dare to be true
I'm going to dare like Josephine and play the bad girl
And offer you an erratic romance to the sound of my nocturnal melodies
Even if it's only 4 p.m. this Sunday and the sun is back
Let me invite you into the cathedral of my ecstatic sounds
Where I'll play you the sweet polyphony of my desires
Taking you in the headlights of my artificial moonlight.

Welcome to my subspace
Where I offer you nothing but love in a magnetic cloud.
I'll praise your red hair while waiting for the red to rise to your cheeks
Of course, I won't tell you which ones, but I confess here...
Through this guided meditation, we will play and rise until the last drop has fallen, Until the last drop has fallen...

Let me seduce you with the sound of my black keys and my harmonies
Let me enchant you with my dark, smooth melody
Under the lunar sweetness I will be your beloved hierophant
Under the sleeping stars you will quickly be trapped
Within the sublime waves of the storm of our pheromones
Where you will only have to succumb to the sounds of our musical attraction…

Tonight, my love, let's be whimsical and frivolous
Tonight, my love, it will be just: "Relax and let me take control"

Naima (Little Live Jam, May 2025) Original by J. Coltrane

Probably our last grand rock number as we start to wind down to finish our first collection of songs. Al took the reins with the lyrics on this one (and as always, the beautiful artwork) - inspired by a short story by Julia Armfield in Salt Slow and apparently an episode of Buffy! I just thought it sounded dead cool and really enjoyed singing her lyrics. Musically inspired by Nirvana, Elliott Smith, Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell.

Speak to me softly

Tonight your eyes avoid mine  
There’s a question dancing in the shadows  
Do you still love me or has time put out our flame  
On the floor only dust and memories

Speak to me softly let me hear your voice  
Let the silence melt between us  
Tell me I’m wrong that everything is still real  
Speak to me softly let me hear your heart

Maybe the floor remembers our games  
How many nights chasing scattered dreams  
Now the silence is a jazz that makes noise  
And fear holds me tight within its notes

Speak to me softly let me hear your voice  
Let the silence melt between us  
Tell me I’m wrong that everything is still real  
Speak to me softly let me touch your heart

If there’s a truth hidden between us  
Don’t let it vanish in this cold  
Hold me tight even just for a moment  
Let me know that not everything is lost

Speak to me softly let me hear your voice  
Let the silence melt between us  
Tell me I’m wrong that everything is still real  
Speak to me softly let me hear your

Speak to me even with just a sigh  
Don’t leave me here lost in the void  
If this is the end tell me softly  
But look at me again just for a moment

Speak to me softly

Track 12 - “LOCKED IN” by Sierra Lucia

LOCKED IN

[Verse]
All my money's gone
I'm out of cigarettes
There's a voice inside my head
It says move on
(Move on)

[Verse]
All my friends are gone
I'm out of places to sleep
I don't remember when I last had something to eat
They said move on
(Move on)

[Chorus]
All I need is an honest woman
And a couch and a dog
A place to hang my hat
A door with a lock
A place to call home
A place to call my own
They said move on
(Move on)

[Verse]
There's a lady who keeps callin' me
She thinks I'm her son
She says that she loves me
But I think she's a fraud
And she says move on
(Move on)

[Bridge]
I need a doctor
A therapist too
An exorcist
A voodoo priestess
To pull me out of this mood
'Cause I can't move on
(Move on)

[Verse]
I'm on my last leg
I'm stuck in a rut
I'm down on my luck
And my  girlfriend's a slut
She said move on
(Move on)

[Chorus]
All I really need is some peace
And just a lil bit of space
Maybe a porch I can dream in
A bed I can sleep in
I just wanna feel like I belong
'Cause I'm tired of feeling gone
They said move on
(Move on)

[Bridge]
I need a healer
A saint or a spell
A midnight prophet
To drag me outta this hell
To tell me I should move on
'Cause I keep holding on
(Move on)

[Outro]
Move on
(Move on)
Ohh whoa oh
They said
Move on
(Move on)
Move
Move on ohh
(Move on)

Move On

“I’m Tired” was born from a moment of raw honesty—written late at night last September, during one of those soul-deep seasons when life just feels like too much.

It’s not the tiredness that sleep fixes. It’s the exhaustion that comes from years of fighting, surviving, and hoping against the odds—a tiredness that lives in the spirit, in the quiet spaces behind closed doors.

As Mental Health Awareness Month ends, and as another birthday passes, I wanted to give voice to what so many feel but rarely say out loud: the loneliness of carrying pain in silence, the invisible battle behind the brave face, and the ache of wondering if we’re “too broken” to be loved or healed.

It’s about naming the struggle, without shame or apology, and letting the truth just be—because sometimes, survival is the victory.

This song is a confession, a sigh, a prayer to anyone who’s ever felt spent but still managed to show up for one more day.

It’s a reminder that you’re not alone, and that every breath—no matter how weary—is enough.

And for me, it’s a way of honoring my own journey, one circle ’round the sun at a time.

If you hear yourself in these words, this song is for you.

I'm Tired

Feel that pain it happens when you care
Lean right in, embrace it if you dare
Dangerous days, perilous nights
I’ll take the reins, hold on tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

One step first, my love is all you need
Soon your thirst for more will set you free
Joyful days, blissful nights  
 Sit with me, hold me tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me
  
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Don’t hold back cos life won’t wait
If there’s never love, there’ll never be loss              
We’ll all be shielded but at what cost

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

Risk the Fall

“This song is for all of us writers who sometimes lose inspiration.”

“ Questa canzone è per tutti noi scrittori che, a volte, perdiamo l’ispirazione”.

Emozioni
È strano, non ho niente da dire  
Il fiume di parole è fermo  
Come un lago che si specchia nel cielo  
Scorre solo la mia vita silenziosa

È strano, la mia penna è immobile  
Muta come una roccia in fondo al mare  
I miei pensieri volano liberi  
Ma non si posano su nessuna emozione

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, belle o brutte  
La vita apatica non fa per me  
Vorrei un carico di emozioni

Mi manca il vento che scompiglia i sogni  
Un temporale che scuota il mio cuore  
Mi manca il brivido di una notte insonne  
Un po’ di fuoco che scaldi le parole.

Resto qui, in questa calma apparente  
Aspettando che qualcosa mi sorprenda  
Che una scintilla accenda la mia mente  
 torni a danzare lenta.

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, dolci o amare  
Meglio piangere che restare fermi  
Meglio sentire che non provare.

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, dolci o amare  
Meglio piangere che restare fermi  
Meglio sentire qualcosa in fondo al cuore.

Emozioni

“Red Velvet Wine”

A slow, elegant soul ballad about being underestimated—and becoming unforgettable. Red Velvet Wine tells the story of quiet strength, hidden depth, and the kind of power that ages in silence. With every verse, a woman reclaims her voice, her value, and her vengeance—served not with rage, but with grace.

Warm, restrained, and lyrically rich, this track invites you to taste what others overlooked.
You wanted water—
Here is her dark mystique.

Red Velvet Wine

[Verse 1]
You saw in me a quiet glass, no color, plain and meek
You thought my song a muted thing, my fire, faint and weak
A cool-edged smile, a glance aside, so easily unseen
You never knew what ripened there, behind that placid sheen.
[Pre-Chorus]
But every night finds its own hour, when shadows dance and grow
And silence holds a secret close, a seed it starts to sow.
You do not hear the gravity that sings in me so low,

[Chorus]
For now I am Red Velvet Wine, so deep and dark and strong
And every drop will cost you dear, for getting it all wrong
I fill your glass up to the brim with arrogance so sweet
You wanted water, clear and plain—here is my dark mystique.
Red Velvet Wine, the price you pay for your oblivious haste.

[Verse 2]
Do you recall that certain room? The light so harsh and pale?
You spoke of triumphs, loud and clear, your judgment couldn't fail.
I was a whisper in the back, a note that fades unseen,
But underneath that quiet skin, a depth had grown within.

[Pre-Chorus]
And every hour that drifted by, has given me new spice
The sweetness faded, strength awoke, a brand new sense of aim.
You see me now, how slow I bring this heaviness to bear.


[Chorus]
For now I am Red Velvet Wine, so deep and dark and strong
And every drop will cost you dear, for getting it all wrong
I fill your glass up to the brim with arrogance so sweet
You wanted water, clear and plain—here is my dark mystique.
Red Velvet Wine, the price you pay for your oblivious haste.

[Bridge]
You thought that wine must be served young, a swift and heady rush,
But quality needs darkness deep, a silent, patient hush.
Where time gives soul, and pain gives fire. In shadows, I would wait.
And now you watch my very nature permeate your state.
No bitter aftertaste—just truth, so clear, and cool, and straight.

[Chorus]
Yes, now I am Red Velvet Wine, deep, dark, and full of might
Each drop will cost you what you missed, now plain within your sight.
I fill the glasses to the brim with my own elegance
You wanted water, clear and plain—here is my dark expanse.
Red Velvet Wine, your heavy price, you've learned it now at last.

Red Velvet Wine

I Chose You

This is a song that comes deeply from my heart. Morten, the wonderfully skilled and talented producer, had prepared an instrumental version of this track some time ago, and I revisited it a couple of months after I had lost my dearest furry bestie, Lumi cat. 

I miss her every single day, and after hearing this track again I started to pour my heart into lyrics and vocals, whilst thinking about Lumi. On the day we lost Lumi, we went for a walk and had a (half a) pint of Guinness outside a pub. When I raised my glass for Lumi, I looked up and saw a shooting star. It felt comforting, as if she was flying free and comfortable with the stars.

Some connections, whether humans or animals, touch our heart in a profound way and when their time is up as Earthlings, they leave a huge void when they are not physically here anymore. I have to keep reminding myself to think what a happy life Lumi had, and how privileged I was to have her in my life. Her first family gave her up when she was 10 years old and she got to very nearly 18 years of age, so we shared around 8 years with this wonderfully sweet character that Lumi was. She used to love listening to me sing (thank you for the encouragement!) and often joined in. I know she would have loved this song and been in her happy trance with a drop of happiness on the tip of her nose (this was an obvious sign of her happiness and she had the droplet on her nose very often ❤️😻).    

I wish you comfort if you are experiencing a grieving process. Time does its bit for the healing too. 🙏 And thank you for listening.

IMAGINANDOTE. 🎧.  feat  Ashesndreams

Well hello. Here’s some rustic Mountain Blues, played on extremely oxidized guitar strings, with me hollering from the mountain top. Hahahaha. The song hints at a personal authenticity, and the experience of possibly unraveling any prior conditioning (Pavlovian or otherwise) that may constrict our lives in some way. It’s also about the different personas we portray to the outside world. How we may act at work, or on a first date, or with our spouse, or kids, friends, enemies, those who hurt us, even our stage personas comes into play…. So this song is asking a lot of us. In other news, right now in June, the mountains are snow covered and it froze last night. That is late spring, early summer here. Gardenwise, this year, I am planting a lot more Brassicas: Kale, Cabbage and Broccoli, and they are growing well. I am going to try to fence off the carrot/beet beds, as the voles always eat more carrots and beets than I ever do. Onions, leeks and garlic have been growing since March. I transplanted 50 lettuce plants I grew from seed that I saved from last year’s lettuce. The berry bushes and fruit trees have really blossomed this year. There are squash, cukes, tomato and pepper plants inside by the window, to be transplanted outside next week, quite a mess… all of which keeps me busy…. Hahaha. Thanks for dropping by, hope you’re well, Mark

'Round Here'

Lyrics
Lost in the night, under silver beams, Drifting through cosmic, endless dreams. 
A thousand lights whisper my name, Guiding me home through time and flame.

Stars above, shining so bright, Lighting up the lonely night. Tell me tales of space and time, Sing me songs, make the world divine.

A dear friend asked me if I wanted to set one of his poems to music. Well, I did. And this is what came out of it...

The title of the poem is “Augenblick”, which means "moment", but literally “blink of an eye”.

Augenblick (by Hans H. Hiebel)

Tender day
The eye-lid of the night
Has opened
Time
Is twinkling at us
And because everything is divided
And must be divided
We twinkle back
And death
Closes the lid


Composition, vocal, guitar and piano by Joliz.

The track wouldn't be the same without Robert S. Dean... Thank you!

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet melody won’t you take hold of me

Turn me around
And show me the door
I don’t hear that sound 
It’s hard to ignore

Years disappear
into the darkened skies
there’ll come a day
That we rise

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet fantasy won’t you take hold of me

I’m Taking the wheel
And closing the gate
Make me believe
Before it’s too late

All in a day
The senses just wanna feel
No more to say
it’s unreal…

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet melody won’t you take hold of me

Take Me Away

Cerco te

E intanto passano in silenzio le stagioni  
I miei ricordi sono solo delusioni  
Mi sento un vaso pieno all'orlo di tristezza  
Mi manca un bacio un abbraccio una carezza  

Ed ho un armadio pieno zeppo di parole  
Un orologio che non segna più le ore  
Cercavo amore e non solo vibrazioni  
E invece scuse centinaia di milioni  

Cerco te  
Ti cerco dentro i sogni miei  
Ti cerco disperato nelle strade tra la gente  
Un uomo abbandonato e la nebbia nella mente  
Mi prende e mi conduceoscienza  
E mette a dura prova la mia parte di pazienza  
E sono diventato un mendicante e cerco amore  
E cerco ancora quello che avevo in fondo al cuore  
Allora cerco te  

Il mio passato una casa sulle stelle  
Le nostri frasi rimarranno sempre quelle  
Il nostro tempo si nutriva di magia  
Dolce passione amore e tanta fantasia  

Ma ora crolla il mondo e mi sento solo  
E non riesco più a riprendere il mio volo  
E allo specchio lui mi guarda a muso duro  
Ed ho paura è lui il fantasma del futuro  

Cerco te  
Ti cerco dentro i sogni miei  
Perché io sto annegando dentro un mare di amarezza  
E cerco di salvare tutto cerco la dolcezza  
Che mi ha reso ricco da un amore fortunato  
Ed ora ho perso tutto perché hai detto che è fin abbandonare questa forma di dolore  
Perché tu sei un faro sei l'essenza sei l'amore  
E allora amore  
Cerco te  
Cerco te  
Amore cerco te  
Cerco te  
Cerco te  
Cerco te

Cerco te

The idea for this song came to me randomly while driving down some backroad a few years back, and I recorded the initial idea spur of the moment. For whatever reason, the rather morbid theme came out in the process and I just went with it. Nat is a daring soul and surprisingly encouraged that we record it and with her considerable help we fashioned this recording. Notable is that Nat has taken on the ability to add some beautiful pedal steel guitar throughout the song using her well established keyboard skills and this first run at it was very satisfying. Let us know what you think!

Lyrics:
It took me a while to believe it
If you’re stuck in a bad place, you leave it
And I was that place, that she had to erase
A place that suited me just fine

Then one day I put away my rosy glasses
As I waited for her to come back home.
But watching dust settle, 
On the couch and the kettle
I could see it was me, that made her have to leave
Me to build this coffin home of mine

Yes, I’m building a coffin to live in
Surrounded by forests of green
‘Cause if I ever knew love, 
I guess that I threw love
Away with the girl of my dreams

Well, it don’t feel like living, without her
Though the sun still shines brightly through the pines 
I can tell I have a pulse, 
But my heart has tested false 
If only I’d seen the warning signs

It’s the simple things that seem so complicated
Thought I knew what I should do, to make it 
But then the ship that sails, 
Leaves you pounding coffin nails
Now it’s, twenty-four seven, this coffin that I live in
With all the “could have beens” that it confines

I’m just building a coffin to live in
Surrounded by forests of green. 
‘Cause if I ever knew love, 
I guess that I threw love
Away with the girl of my dreams

Pounding away, day after day
Waiting for the girl of my dreams
Someday, she’ll be back

A Coffin To Live In

Dopo francese e italiano “Una storia di mille volte amore” anche in inglese. 

“It’s a story of a thousand times love”

Mine has now become a sweet obsession  
A constant thought that plays in my mind  
A recurring dizziness that takes hold of me  
A force that overwhelms me, thinking only of you  
I could tell you that I’m madly in love  
But words are not enough to express what I feel  
Together we have taken the world in our hands  
Like a crystal ball to read the future, tomorrow  
And like indelible ink, you have marked my destiny  
You took my heart in your hands with your sweetness  
And you gifted me your soul like a beautiful flower  
And you filled our great story with light  

It’s a story that goes  
It’s a story that gives  
It’s a story of a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  

Like a child in the arms of someone who cares for him  
Happy to dive into a sea full of love  
And you, like a wave, pull me under with your passion  
And in those moments, the universe stops just for us  
Like a lighthouse shining in the midst of a storm  
I follow you, sure to find your warmth  
You are a ray of sunshine that warms and after a bitterness  
You comfort me by holding me close to you  
In this story that transcends all boundaries  
There is no scale to measure the strength of love  
And we, who are happy like two little children  
Are grains of sand that make the world spin  

And the world goes on  
And the world gives  
It’s a story of a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love

It’s a story of a thousand times love

“Il ricordo di un incontro “

Il treno corre via 
Chiamami romantico.
Sul treno dell’amore.
E tu, un'opera d'arte, 
seduta lì di fronte a me,
Perdo la cognizione del tempo, 
le ore scorrono veloci.
Oh, la mia timidezza vada via,
Se solo potessi sentire la tua voce
Vorrei sfiorarti con dolcezza,
Non lasciarti mai sola.
Ma il tuo sorriso mi apre l’anima.

E il treno corre via, e il tempo si ferma,
Nei tuoi occhi trovo la mia eterna giovinezza.
Ogni fermata è un battito, un attimo rubato,
In questo viaggio insieme, il cuore innamorato.

Le parole scorrono, danzano come note,
Ogni attimo con te è pura sinfonia.
Siamo anime in cerca di un destino,
Siamo fiori dello stesso giardino.
E mentre il treno avanza, il mondo svanisce,
Solo noi due, in questo attimo che ci avvolge.
La tua risata è un canto, che scalda il mio cuore,
In questo viaggio insieme, scopro il vero amore.

E il treno corre via, ma il tempo si ferma,
Nei tuoi occhi trovo la mia eterna primavera.
Ogni fermata è un battito, un attimo rubato,
In questo viaggio insieme, il cuore è innamorato.

Ora, dopo tanti anni, guardo indietro e vedo,
Quell'incontro sul treno, una storia che è diventata vera.
Viviamo insieme, amandoci come il primo giorno,
Ogni sguardo, ogni abbraccio, un dolce ricordo.
Chiamami romantico, se vuoi.

E il treno corre via, ma il tempo si ferma,
Nei tuoi occhi trovo la mia eterna leggerezza.
Ogni fermata è un battito, un attimo rubato,
In questo viaggio insieme, il cuore è innamorato.
Chiamami romantico.

Il treno corre via

BVs by the lovely Emma J

How could you do it right in front of me
You told me I was special that you'd never leave
You took her hand so gently as you dropped mine like a stone
You promised me forever yet I'm sitting here alone

Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart
Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart
I never saw the change in you until we were already apart
Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart

What changed in me for you to see me differently
To dull the wonder in your eyes when you look at me
To silence all the compliments that came so easily
Are the promises you keep for her the ones you broke on me

Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart
Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart
I never saw the change in you until we were already apart
Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart

The shock has faded now at last
You're a feature of my past
I wouldn't believe it
If I hadn't seen it
The person you've become is one you swore you'd never be 

Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart
Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart
I never saw the change in you until we were already apart
Cold hands, cold hands, cold heart

Cold Hands

I'd go anywhere in the world for you
I'd abandon best laid plans for you
Maybe do the things I thought I couldn't do
To be with you

I'm like putty in your hands
I relish your demands
And welcome every feeling you invite 
I'm enthralled and I'm transfixed
Love never felt like this
So maybe this time we got it right

I'd go anywhere in the world for you
I'd abandon best laid plans for you
Maybe do the things I thought I couldn't do
To be with you

I told you once in a flash of truth
I love the bones of you
With such intensity it almost hurts
And I still feel the same
I'm like a moth to your flame
And I don't care if I burn

I'd go anywhere in the world for you
I'd abandon best laid plans for you
Maybe do the things I thought I couldn't do
To be with you

Be With You
