Special thanks to my wife Delphine who's taking more and more confidence in singing for my greatest pleasure. Nico, for his wonderful guitar. This guy is just amazing, you can ask him for anything and he plays it right away. 
And this song wouldn't sound as wonderful without Freddie's touch for the Mix&Mastering. Freddie has the patience of a Bouddha Monk, and the precision of a surgeon. Thank you my friend for all your professionalism and your passion that you share with all of us everyday! Such a pleasure to work with you.

Thanks to everyone stepping by, listening, thanks for your likes and comments. It's much appreciated. I hope you enjoy.

Lyrics : 
Just tell me why you're so kind
Why you think it's worth to try
Hold on tight
Never change your mind
Let me know what's behind
What you need to mystify
All this time
I was colorblind

How can you be so determined
Holding back your tears and smile
To my lies
If I could rewind
All the words that I can find
Giving hope you can't rely
To keep you fine
Always on my side

I've heard it say before
Like a hundred times or more
That secrets learn to war
Let them blow away
Our love we thought so pure
Is now lying on the floor
I'm feeling insecure
I should walk away


Backing 1
Just tell me why you're so kind
How can you be so determined

Backing 2
Listen to your love
We can all lose our way somehow

Smile To My Lies

You're What's Missing in My Life

You're What's Missing In My Life

INTERNAL FIRE

The sun
Shone like a furnace
We knew
We knew it would burn us.

Radios
Highways shattered
Sounds of traffic
Does it really matter?

Grave yards
Instant combustion
No surprise
No resurrection.

The sun
Shone like a furnace
We knew
We knew it would burn us.

The earth
It also trembled
Across seasons running
It knew what was coming.

The rag and bone man
Of the heart 
Returned home
To make a fresh start.

The sun
Shone like a furnace
We knew
We knew it would burn us.

Radios
Highways shattered
Sounds of traffic
Does it really matter?

The rag and bone man
Of the heart 
Returned home
To make a fresh start.

You’ve been running
Around again.

Running in the morning
Running at night
You’ve been running
Around again.

You’ve been running

You’ve been running
Around again.

Little Hetty ran
On a visit to Fran
As she ran through the woods
A sweet song she sang.

Her song’s pure notes
Rang bells everywhere
Fran heard a murmur
From the top of the stairs.

Fran went to meet her
Down many stairs
Sat on a sofa
Hetty soon there.

The afternoon went by
Like the sun in the sky
Words flying out
And pouring about.

A fine layer of words
Coated the floor
Drifted into the air
And out of the door.

The cascade ended
Hetty went home
Past birds full of songs
And trees full of poems.

Little Hetty ran
On a visit to Fran
As she ran through the woods
A sweet song she sang.

The cascade ended
Hetty went home
Past birds full of songs
And trees full of poems.

Little Hetty r3a

Running in the fast lane
Looking for success
Letting things slide
Tried to do my best.

Let my heart grow mouldy
Let my heart grow bad
Let my heart grow mouldy
The only heart I ever had.

The times they are a changing
The gold is in the bank
Tried my best to be
With any clue I ever had.

Let my heart grow mouldy
Let my heart grow bad
Let my heart grow mouldy
The only clue I ever had.

I lived on the South side
Drove around all night
Went looking for redemption
Making everything all right.

Let my heart grow mouldy
Let my heart grow bad
Let my heart grow mouldy
The only heart I ever had.

Running in the fast lane
Looking for success
Letting things slide
As I tried to do my best.

Let my heart grow mouldy
Let my heart grow bad
Let my heart grow mouldy
The only heart I ever had.

Mouldy heart r2

1. Down in the boondocks
Like it that way
Flowers so pretty
Sky so grey.

Down in the boondocks
Looking around
Looking for someone
Don’t want to be found.

Once were my true love
Then you shot through
Down in the boondocks
Looking for you.

2. Down in the boondocks
Me and my hound
Wind shouts a song
Clouds scud around.

When the wind turns
Smoke in the air
Know where I’m going
Perhaps you’ll be there.

Once were my true love
Then you shot through
Down in the boondocks
Looking for you.

3. Down in the boondocks
Boots are on fire
Down in the boondocks
Should’ve climbed higher.

Down in the boondocks
Dragging my cage
If I should find you
You won’t get away.

Once were my true love
Then you shot through
Down in the boondocks
Looking for you.

4. Down in the boondocks
Like it that way
Flowers so pretty
Sky so grey.

Down in the boondocks
Me and my hound
Wind shouts a song
Clouds scud around.

Once were my true love
Then you shot through
Down in the boondocks
Looking for you.

Down in the boondocks
Looking for you.
Once were my true love
Then you shot through

Down in the boondocks r3a

A man stood on a red plain
Swept horizon again and again 
He looked where he had gazed before
The land was bare from roof to floor.

He wondered what he did here now
No track and no direction clear
No houses, no plants around
Just him standing on common ground.

Standing there, alone, aloof
Dreaming of a life that he once knew
Images from a busy eye
Faces and voices passing by.
 
The warmth of old friends
The press of larger ends
Meetings to shape a world
Beatings by the state absurd.

At some point he’d had enough
The play continued very rough
The pressure increasing sharp
Became a burden of the heart.

He awoke from that dream of pain
Evaporated, shredded, insane
Sank into the rust red plain
To him it felt like heaven’s rain.
