Head In The Clouds

She flies with the wind
High up in the sky
Spreading her wings
Her head in the clouds
There she goes
Her heart feather light
She dreams while she’s awake
As she knows
Another world
Is just another breath away

She is like a fairy
Flying into tales
Seen from above
Everything can be real
She goes higher
Takes the leap
Though she knows
When you go high up
You can only fall deep

Lisboa, Queen Of My Heart

The blue sea smells of sardines
The land is scented with saudade
Waves of memories
roll towards me
I dance my way through Alfama
And will write my own history
Sounds of Fado take me with you
To comforting Portuguese ground
Into the heart of faith and fate
What will be will be
with no doubt

Let my tears merge
with the water of the Tagus
Let my soul flame o meu amor
I will be the queen of myself
On the hill in the castle
Ready to receive the king of my heart

Let me discover the truth of a treasure
I will embark the ship of my dreams
Let me raise my glass to good fortune
Let God be with me when I go overseas

Lisboa, city of light
Always have your arms wide open
To allow me to return back home
Though there can be stormy waters
I will never lose track of your shore

Better Not

If I could miss you
I would miss you
More than anything
And anyone
If I should miss you
I could not miss you
As you are the only one
Whom I would badly miss
So better not to miss you
And to never miss you
Though I would miss you
And I could miss you
now

More Here Than Ever

This town here at the river breathes you
I follow the flow of the water
And I know it leads to you
The ships that are sailing by
Will they once return?
Will they come back to listen
To the story that still burns?

In these sunny streets I walk
Towards brightly missing you
The town holds all the tales
How I would long to tell you
The birds here sing your name
The crowded square looks empty
And the buildings lost their colours
Now they all look grey

Even though you’re not there
You’re more here
than you ever were

Behind These Words

Do you see me
In my castle in the clouds
Behind walls that are so thick
I can’t even see myself

Do you see me
When your hand is out of reach
Your eyes are out of sight
And miles away
There are your feet

Do you see me
When I dissolve in mist
When I am lost in love
And I am the one
I don’t want to be with

Do you see me
When ears have been deceived
As my mouth speaks
A language other than
My heart had wished to speak

Do you see me
Here
Behind these words

The Wolf

I am the lonesome wolf of the forrest.
I can’t be caught
But my eyes catch everything.
My heart loyal to my beloved other one.
He whom I can see
when I look into water mirrors.
The moon is my ally.
She reflects on me
what I reflect on her.
And when she is at full strength
I cry out to her
Bathe in her pure light
Purge what is inside
Let her lighten my ways
When I wander
through dark nights
and gone days
Here in the forrest
of lost souls

Inspiration

She is still with me: Inspiration. She gently breathes the words into me. This white angel, does she come from heaven or from hell?
And now she even keeps me out of my sleep.

I ask her to leave, I don’t want her near me here. I tell her to go bother someone else.
This heart drown in pain doesn’t want to swim to the surface no more.
But she is still there, she smiles and invites me into her space.

I put my hands over my ears.
I don’t want to hear the words she blows to me.
I close my eyes.
I don’t want to see her flowing source of light.
I cover my heart.
I don’t want to feel how her touch has opened it.
But even then she is still there.

I tell her I can’t do it. I can’t do what she asks of me.
But she only smiles and then slowly whispers in my ear:

Write… just write
