Please play a song for me Jan, in flashback A song that brings lovely memories back I well remember days from long ago How we adored our musical maestro. We'd stand round the piano as you played Mesmerised by the sounds your fingers made And here you are many decades gone by Tickling the ivories, and still we sigh....

Life is a quest fascinating and sweet, It's a book with many empty sheets. At times you may ride the roller coaster, Or you may feel you are riding a roadster. Ups and downs, highs and lows, Cherry and merry, all the way. Life is a thrilling journey, Of happiness and trouble loads. When you have a flashback of...

This is how the world sees me And the entire world is wrong! As the earth spins we all fall down, It turns you inside out and round about. The beasts of the fields aren't fooled By humans that think they are tops in the pool. Here am I in the form of a goat, dog, ape, Without recognizable form or shape. You...

At the break of the day Hearts begin their journey Stranded like birds Catching worms And equally caught Racing for their fate On the legs of a big river Flawing down their veins But making way for drowning Souls being flooded And washed as well To the end of the world Rushed they go On each other' s elbow they lean Walking slantly Deeply shaking inside Looking at...
