You know I think We could pull off some Germs Type stuff. It might turn out solid.

A waltz with different tempos.

That Night
(c) HwBerkhout, may 2017/ april, 2023

Sitting with my photo book on my lap 
I felt a bit sad
Browsing through the pages filled with history
I fell out of my bed

The nurse had to help me up
and handed me the book too
But somehow it was difficult for me
to look at all the faces I once knew

I thought:
All that matters will fly away
Yes, all that matters, 
will be gone one day

Chorus:
But still I see that night, that night
Oh, so impressed I was
By the moon and the stars 
in the sky so bright 

In that night we all danced 
Yes, life then began
We were young, had it all
Oh, this was fun...

-solo-

Sitting in my tiny jailish room 
Nothing much to hold on
I wonder why I'm still here,
while my life is already gone

Time stood still with that album on my lap 
but soaked with tears now 
I saw my trembling hands
and tried to stand up, but fell again

I thought:
All that matters, 
will fly away
Yes, all that matters, 
will be gone one day

Chorus till end:
But still I feel that night, that night
Oh, so impressed I was
By the moon and the stars 
in the sky so bright

Yes, it was that night, we found love
We were young, 
and had all
we dreamed of...

That night, that night
Oh, so impressed I was
By the moon, the stars and you
in that light...

Comes a night, a night
I will fly to you
The moon and the stars will be there too
That night, our night, is a beautiful sight

Mistress

I’ve just found that I’ve a mistress
And music is her name
Though she boards between the chords
She’s with me every day 

And she dances through my hands
Dreams with me in bed
She sings to me
Incessantly 
This mistress in my head

And she sings the songs of life to me
That only I can hear
Fragments echo furiously 
As they vanish in thin air
And she plays me like a symphony 
That only I can hear
And her whispered notes fall effortlessly 
Like snowflakes through still air

So when the coast is clear
And my wife still sleeps in bed
You know I think she’s known about us
Quite a while
Sweet mistress in my head

Then she laughs just like an orchestra 
But still let’s be discreet 
Is that a sitar that calls afar
Sweet mistress in my head

And she sings the songs of life to me 
That only I can hear 
Fragments echo defiantly 
As  they vanish in thin air 
And she plays me like a symphony 
That only I can hear
And her whispered notes fall
Effortlessly 
Like snowflakes through still air

Hega - Tree Of Life - 10 Mystical Rift

I was dreamin’ of a city
Where the buildings live forever         
Some brick and steel painting        
Like a shadow and an echo
            
Middle of October   
Sky gettin’ colder          
Wind hittin’ harder         
Like it’s tryin’ to tell ya somethin’
            
The streetlights sputter sermons
mm-hmm          
And it kinda makes me nervous
uh-huh

Well some folks speak a language         
The city don’t wanna learn        
Written in the alleys
And the barrels that still burn

Drill gang on the corner         
Spittin’ like a drummer           
But the bullets still fly          
Just chasin’ down the summer
        
I was dreamin’ of that city       
Dreamin’ of that sorrow         
Clock says it’s October           
But it’s already tomorrow

Dreamin' Of A City

«Amaranta taunts with Rebecca». Op.16_15 (2021).

We wake in the morning taking our places
And march to the beat of the drum
Perpetual motion somehow erases
All that we ache to become

And, oh, so we go
But one day the calm will come
Until then I’m holding out for love

Watching it sideways it all seems so shaken
The way that our world ought to be
One of these days our hearts will awaken 
And then we may finally see

That, oh, heaven knows
How the dark will be undone
Until then, I’m holding out for love

Feel this heart inside 
and know it’s always meant to shine
No matter what the world demands
Love and fate have better plans
It’s hard to see now
With eyes closed and head down

But, oh, heaven knows
How one day your kingdom comes
Until then, I’m holding out for love.

The Trainwreck That's My Life

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' (!)
