I've gone a little bit silly for you...
I'm in the kitchen making scones...
And when I wake up, I make up sweet songs...
I'm perusing perfumed places,
Putting smiles on shop assistants faces...
And it's all because I've gone a little bit silly for you.
One little text message is all it takes....
To make me a world's happiest person candidate...
Even though I don't need glasses,
I nearly get killed by every bus that passes...
And it's all because I've gone a little bit silly for you.

'I've Gone For You' Django Jonas

A haiku you do for me tonight,
Bring that smile over here,
Dance a little closer.

A haiku is me singing softly in your ear,
Everybody's dancing,
But there's just me and you.

A haiku you make me feel in a dream,
With that tequila you give me with your lips,
With that tequila you give me with your kiss.

A haiku: Thank you, sometimes it's just perfect,
The whole world has turned into the look in your eyes.
The whole world has turned into the look in your eye.

Something's taken place, 
something's left the earth,
It's gone off into space,
That something's me and you...
That something's a little haiku.

'Haiku' by Django Jonas

The wings of a butterfly,
Turned my head around.
I dare not breathe or make a sound:
Lest this creation flutters by.

Though staying still makes unease,
I begin to move like a breeze,
And make a sound like a lullaby,
To keep alight this beautiful butterfly.

The eyes of a butterfly,
Wink as the wings shutter,
And my heart is all a flutter,
As a thousand wings beat inside.

How I admire you, a moment's treasure,
How this moment stretches into forever.
The summer called you from cocoon,
Will she call you back so soon?

The kiss of a butterfly,
Upon my eyelashes.
In all the world nothing so sweet
As this butterfly's kiss.

'Butterfly Kiss' by Django Jonas

That's where I want to sit:
In the cove with the bird shit,
In the shadow of shoulders,
In flower's folding foliage.

Yes, this is a song for my green garden,
Grow, grow into the skies,
The frost shall never harden 
What is deep inside.

A song to swirl through soil,
A sound to wind around,
A tempo of eternal toil,
So that nothing may stay brown.

For the fallen feather
And the flying bird:
Who looks down beneath the weather
At another songwriter.

Roses climbing in the arch
And in the middle meet:
There are petals where I pass
Only for barefeet.

Yes, this is a song for my green garden,
Grow, grow as tall as me,
The frost shall never harden 
What is meant to be.

A song to swirl through soil,
A sound to wind around,
A tempo of eternal toil,
So that nothing may stay brown.

'Pan's Land' by Django Jonas

In me there is a river,
Let me take you towards the sea.
This river came from wild mountains
A long time ago.
Choosing whatever way felt the right way:
Resting in lakes, leaping off waterfalls,
Into the unknown.

This body is an instrument:
The music it can make is grace.
Conscience is the teacher,
Love is the practice,
This kind of music can take us to heaven.

I want to experience a desert:
So inside I make a desert.
Mealtimes come and go like oases,
And thoughts become as sparce as clouds,
And my heart tracks the emptiness,
Like footsteps in the sand.

'Butterfly Kiss' (Acoustic) by Django Jonas

Charlie Bow Wow,
Left his body with the flowers.
His breath is in the air
And his face is in the clouds.

Charlie Bow wow is here,
He's everywhere.

Charlie Bow Wow
Left his footsteps in the meadows,
His face is in the clouds
And his breath is in the air.

Charlie's with me,
He walks in my memory.

'Charlie Bow Wow' by Django Jonas

At five - thirty,
A bird wakes me,
Before the cicadas begin,
I go to Attilia's.

I would like to drink coffee with you,
I will use your watering can.
Beautiful Grimaldi.

The road of peace,
I am walking.
The life I like
Is arriving.

Everything I need, you give.
Everything I dream, you make.
Blessed Grimaldi.

'Grimaldi' by Django Jonas

Listen carefully,
I'm ready for love.
I've crossed the mountains
And reached the sea.

Loving you is a pleasure 
And it's a prayer.
Loving you is living
With forever.

All the metaphors for love
Become true.
And all that's sent from above
Comes through you.

All that's gone before
Will be for us,
And all that's now and here
Will be our chorus.

Tell me it's your sea
When I leave the land.

Tell me it's your country
When I'm on the foreign sand.

When I'm lost in the city
Will you take my hand?
Tell me you believe
In the way I am.
