Abandoned places -nw
(c) HWBerkhout  (feb 2026)

There was a moment some time ago
What had happened I still don't know
But the next morning I saw it more clear
Your empty bed I really feared

I could not get it, it blurred my mind
I had never faced things of this kind
Oh listen, please hear
I wish you'd stayed here

Chorus
Now I only see abandoned places.
They once belonged to you and me
As I stared at these abandonned places
They're run down, I can see, oh no

=violin solo=

And in the nighttime, in my bed
I wish I wouldn't feel that bad
If only I'd whispered in your ear
Ooh, please stay here

Chorus
Now, I only see abandoned places
They once belonged to you and me
And I remember all their faces
They made us both so very happy, oh no

Still I keep my faith you're back one day
It eases me anyway
So listen, please come home
I don't want to stay alone, 

Chorus
Now I only see abandoned places.
They once belonged to you and me
But I fear time will erase them.
That's how it's all gonna be 
Although they are still beautiful,
One day they all fall apart,
like my heart.

Abandoned places v2

Infatuation and Desire. A feel good song.

I Want To Be With You

For many it's simply unthinkable, yet it can happen to anyone at any time...take good care of yourself.

Lyrics:
Bad Luck
(c) HwBerkhout 2019

I'm in the middle of an ocean
Drifting in a leaking dinghy
The only thing I can recall
our plane plunged in the sea

I am the sole survivor
rowing maybe towards land
With no food or drinking water
and no signals I can send

It's getting darker by the hour
Than I will only see the moon
The waves are getting higher
Land must be reached soon

I'm rowing on the ocean
No idea where to go
This is called Bad Luck
as far as I know

Chorus:
Oh I see, it's not my day
But you're with me,
You see me rowing on
And I'm smiling
But you don't know in my heart
I'm so afraid as can be
Oh, I start weeping
But you must not see

I'm rowing on an ocean
and only a moon to shine
Sharks now pay me more attention
They're getting closer all the time

And I'm the sole survivor
No idea where to go
This is called Bad Luck
as far as I know

Chorus
Solo
Chorus
+
Oh, than I woke up that morning
and saw you're there near me,
You watched me sweating
But you're smiling to me
So no bad luck at all
I close my arms around you

Bad Luck -alternative rhythm-

I compose songs, write lyrics and sing most of them. I don't have  'one'  style. It depends on my mood or on certain issues that are going on in our world. AND some listeners can even tell which songs are genuine 'Birchwood-songs' (!)
