WATCH THE RIVER
Watch the river
'Cause I'll be coming home soon
Watch the river
Watch the river
And when it reflects the moon
I will be there soon
It runs wild and free
From our town
In the mountains
But that's not where you'll find me
Look downstream
Where the river meets the sea
Watch the river
Watch the river
Watch the river
'Cause I'll be coming home soon
Watch the river
Yes it runs wild and free
Tumbling down
From the mountains
Wait right there for me
'Cause I'm coming home
Watch the river
'Cause I'll be coming home soon
Watch the river
Watch the river
And when it reflects the moon
I will be there soon
So watch the river

THE FOLLY
We walk quietly inline
Just gassing about old times
And its cool I can feel the breeze
Hold my hand give some warmth to me
Life is so brief
And mostly it isn’t sweet
When I’m all snagged up and lost at sea
You’ll dive from the beach
And swim to me
I’m back in the old town
I used to fear this hallowed ground
Forgive me for what you’ve seen
Forgive my small town honesty
The quickstep of slow decay Turns the world to green grey
The wounds I’d written down for you
They were the folly of enigmatic youth
So say on the 16th you’ll plunge yourself back love with me
And by Sunday 24th, I’ll have more to thank you for
I’m back in the old town
I used to fear this hallowed ground
Forgive me for what you’ve seen
Forgive my small town honesty
The quickstep of slow decay Turns the world to green grey
The wounds I’d written down for you
They were the folly of enigmatic youth
Don’t twist it around
Don’t turn my world upside down
Stay, stay by my side
I know the earth is tipping off its axis tonight
Anytime, in a way
Its a host of stolen words
Lost and decayed…decayed

MUDRA SOVA (WISE OWL)
In the dark forest
Sit Owl
Big eyes
And the head
She knows everything
From A to Z.
But for some reason
So sad
Wise Owl
Wise Owl
You know so much
And it's sad
Wise Owl
Wise Owl
You say - silence is gold
And you will be right
In the dark forest
All the time alone
He doesn't want to know
This world
Hide in the thickets
Exit one
There's her happiness
She has a house there

TO CATCH A MAGPIE
Willow oh Willow
what`s this I see
you kilt your gown skipping
my nemesis to meet
he preens like a vicar
in plumage of black and white
o`ermasters our love
with a mesmerist`s eye
one for sorrow
two for joy
three for a girl
four for a boy
Clem my Clem
remember the day
lilt in her voice
the Weavers Stone where you lay
be furtive not bold
let your tongue be your sword
your rival plays this game
like devil like a lord
five for silver
six for gold
seven for a secret
never to be told
take care take
when you set your snare
to catch a magpie
the Magpie the Magpie
many words little truth
has her soul on tiptoes
on her promise she broods
Clem rushes in
with hailstone of blows
to the gallows not Willow
he`ll soon pledge his oath
one for sorrow
two for joy
three for a girl
four for a boy
the sky shall fall
before that pitiless eye
when love lies bleeding
away flies the magpie
five for silver
six for gold
seven for a secret
never to be told
take care take
when you set your snare
to catch a magpie

THE GOLDEN SEED
I'm tired of living
In a world
Filled with hate and greed
So I'm trying hard
To find the golden seed
We have been driven
And we have been bound
Into desperate need
But all will be forgiven
When we have found the golden seed
Have no fear
Of the pain of existence
But let's be clear
It will take persistence
To unwind the ribbon
So we can find
What it is we need
Now tear soaked soils
Will receive the golden seed
It's been made clear
That there is no resistance
And I'm right here
And I have got something to tell you
I'll be your witness
And through the eyes of a child we'll see
That the sun soon will shine
Through the shimmering leaves
Of a golden tree

TO PISSARRO (Impressionist Heart)
Every clot an inch
Of the smoke from the boat
That might have been there
Cutting through the water
When you thought it was a gem
The golden iron
Wiping can undance us to the shore
I wonder what went through your mind
When you were sitting there
Giving colours to the sky
Adding drops
To the waves
Brushing up the banks of the sea
The irony of knowing
That it must have taken hours
Full of well meant intent
When I can feel the grass
And taste a hand of soot
In the hasty dying second
Browsing through the pictures
On the Internet
Would it hurt your soul if you knew
I could pass you by quite unnoticed
Inflation makes too many of you
Or would it please your impressionist heart
Please your impressionist heart
Please your impressionist heart
Please your impressionist heart

AIR TRAVEL
Things we grew up with obsolete
Air travel a strict no go?
Air lobby, lobby all you like
Pollution? You say ’t ain’t so
What if we simply go by train?
That’s better pollution wise
There’s a train station in Paris
Paris’ Centre! That’s nice
An airport – There’s tension
Customs guys as mean as hell
Am I cueing for the right plane?
Could be, but no one can tell
When I’m too old for air travel
Will I be sad? No, I don’t care
At home I travel in my head
In thoughts elsewhere, I’m everywhere
Wear a helmet while in a cue
Helmet will absorb the blast
Grin all you like behind your hand
Haircut no thing of the past
I’ve brought my own food on the plane
‘cause their food is just terrible
They smile and tell me: Catering
I think its name’s inedible

HOPE
Baby, I'm afraid of
those we have to trust
they want to decide
what is a no go
and what is a must
Wash your hands and
sleep on the floor
always wear the mask
Turn off the lights
and close the door
Hope
give us hope
let the wisdom flow
raise your voice and grow
I see a glimpse of
sadness in your eyes
yes it's the same old story
but now with Wuhan lies
The radio and The tv-show
the host continues to guess
there are no facts
to let us know
Hope
give us hope
let the wisdom flow
raise your voice and grow
Now we are safe and
its all okay
we got our pinprick
here the other day
we should be happy
enjoying life
we saved the world with a test
until the next mutation, we can rest
Hope
give us hope
let the wisdom flow
raise your voice and grow

SNOW SONG
Snow is descending
Branching out
Fill the world
with a cover of silence
from moist to crystal
A shiny endless glow.
The hour is getting late
The world is getting full.
Will you be there?
With me
in this snow.

SUNLIT BLOOM
Let's walk into the sunlight
Hike across the hills
on a picnic full of thrills.
And take another stroll
into the blue
Hear the chirping birds
And whistle their tune.
Cos it’s all I love,
And I can’t wait,
So take me to the place
where I can escape…
It makes me want to fly
It makes me want to dance so high
It makes me want to dream
It makes me want to float inside
Cling onto the path that leads me to you -
We can share a cake and a biscuit or two
Take a one way trip to the river of joy -
We can stop to see the earth flower and bloom.
Or spring will end too soon!
Let’s swim into the magic,
Join the dolphins’ dance
Cos our dreams are meant to last
Unravel all the shades
As nature blooms
Let it paint our soul
With its brighter hues
Cos it’s all I want,
And I can’t wait,
So take me to the place
where I can escape…
It makes me want to fly
It makes me want to dance so high
It makes me want to dream
It makes me want to float inside
Cling onto the path that leads me to you -
We can share a cake and a biscuit or two
Take a one way trip to the river of joy -
We can stop to see the earth flower and bloom.
Flower and bloom...
So take me to..

the play begins as an ocean
is folded and hung to dry
seven stars go squawking
like geese about the sky
ropes and rollers rumble storms
where the world falls away
with bricks of many colours
you build an arch
day after day
should the rainmaker relent
in your company I`d be honoured to pretend
waltzing at the rainbows end
climbing through a trapdoor
down the tree of your life
ransacked by ravens
dreams open to the sky
the prompter reads backwards
the hero loses his way
between maidens and villains
he wanders
all over the stage
on paper wings to ascend
start the music we`ll pretend
waltzing at the rainbows end
waltzing at the rainbows end
waltzing at the rainbows end
hold on with your eyes
the curtain descends
waltzing at the rainbows end
