things we lost in the way (Dylan's mirror)

I want you

2010-10-08T23:53:00.003+02:00

The last time I saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by
As she packed up her belongings
She wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll
Off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry she said

I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

I tried so hard to remember
Where when how why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But the whiskey kept calling your name

I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
All the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the sky blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
And built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you

I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

I may have built for you a dreamhouse
But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up with company
But never made our house a home
All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth
All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you

I like when you are quiet

2010-09-05T07:39:00.002+02:00

I like when you are quiet as if you were absent,
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
It seems that your eyes had flown
and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.

As all things are filled with my soul
you emerge from the things, filled with my soul.
Butterfly dreams, you are my soul,
and you are like the word melancholy.

I like when you are quiet and you seem distant.
And you're a moaning, a butterfly cooing.
And you hear me from far away and my voice does not reach you
Let me come with your silence.

Let me talk to you with your silence
bright as a lamp, simple as a ring.
You are like the night stillness and constellations.
Your silence is a star, as remote and candid.

I like when you are quiet as if you were absent.
Distant and painful as if you were dead.
One word then, one smile is enough.
And I am happy, happy that it is not true.

I had to do it

2010-08-31T20:06:00.004+02:00

I had to do it,
celebrate a year today;
any day as always,
just today though the pie is rancid and I am not going to eat it.

I wanted to blow a candle for all those I didn't blow.
It was a very busy year,
agreements and disagreements, books, coffee, and movies,
some tears and more coffee.

The lakes and walks in Copenhagen, always Copenhagen.
That's not true, there were also Barcelona, Paris and some more places,
some you and too much of me.

But I wanted to point out the smiles,
sore cheeks that I had,
special moments and encounters,
because of the rest have already been written and said too much.

I had to do it, celebrate one more year,
hugs and plundering of useless things
and vicious circles.

But I had to do it, though the cake is rancid,
and I am not going to eat it.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines

2010-08-31T17:09:00.002+02:00

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, 'The night is shattered,
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms.
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me, and sometimes I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes?
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her,
And the verse falls to the snow like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
That night is shattered and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.

My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that is certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voice. Her bright body. Her infinite eyes,
I no longer love her, that is certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer,
and these the last verses that I write for her.

Dreamin' Of You

2010-07-18T21:45:00.003+02:00

The light in this place is really bad
Like being at the bottom of a stream
Any minute now
I’m expecting to wake up from a dream

Means so much, the softest touch
By the grave of some child, who neither wept or smiled
I pondered my faith in the rain
I’ve been dreamin’ of you, that’s all I do
And it’s driving me insane

Somewhere dawn is breaking
Light is streaking ‘cross the floor
Church bells are ringing
I wonder who they’re ringing for

Travel under any star
You’ll see me wherever you are
The shadowy past is awake and so vast
I’m sleeping in the palace of pain
I’ve been dreamin’ of you, that’s all I do
But it’s driving me insane

Maybe they’ll get me, maybe they won’t
But whatever it won’t be tonight
I wish your hand was in mine right now
We could go where the moon is white

For years they had me locked in a cage
Then they threw me onto the stage
Some things just last longer than you thought they would
And they never, ever explain
I’ve been dreamin’ of you, that’s all I do
And it’s driving me insane

Well, I eat when I’m hungry, drink when I’m dry
Live my life on the square
Even if the flesh falls off my face
It won’t matter, long as you’re there

Feel like a ghost in love
Underneath the heavens above
Feel further away than I ever did before
Feel further than I can take
Dreamin’ of you is all I do
But it’s driving me insane

Everything in the way is so shiny today
A queer and unusual fall
Spirals of golden haze, here and there in a blaze
Like beams of light in the storm

Maybe you were here and maybe you weren’t
Maybe you touched somebody and got burnt
The silent sun has got me on the run
Burning a hole in my brain
I’m dreamin’ of you, that’s all I do
But it’s driving me insane

freedom

2010-06-24T09:21:00.003+02:00

Creo que todos buscamos lo mismo
no sabemos muy bien que es ni donde esta
oímos hablar de la hermana mas hermosa
que se busca y no se puede encontrar
La conocen los que la perdieron
los que la vieron de cerca, irse muy lejos
y los que la volvieron a encontrar la conocen los presos,
La libertad

Algunos faloperos, algunos con problemas de dinero,
porque se despiertan soñándola,
algunos que nacieron en el tiempo equivocado,
la libertad

Todos los marginales del fin del mundo,
esclavos de alguna necesidad,
los que sueñan despiertos,
los que no pueden dormir,
la libertad

Algunos tristemente enamorados
pagando todavía el precio del amor
algunos que no pueden esperar,
y no aguantan más la necesidad
Algunos cautivos de eso,
que no saben donde mirar,
tengo algunos hermanos
y una hermana muy hermosa,
la libertad

Igual que Norberto,
me pregunto muchas veces, donde esta?
y no dejo de pensar,
será solamente una palabra,
la hermana hermosa
la libertad.

You Changed my Life

2010-05-10T19:06:00.004+02:00

I was listening to the voices of death on parade
Singing about conspiracy, wanted me to be afraid
Working for a system I couldn't understand or trust
Suffered ridicule and wanting to give it all up in disgust

But you changed my life
Came along in a time of strife
In hunger and need, you made my heart bleed
You changed my life

Talk about salvation, people suddenly get tired
They got a million things to do, they're all so inspired
You do the work of the devil, you got a million friends
They'll be there when you got something, they'll take it all in the end

But you changed my life
Came along in a time of strife
I was under the gun, clouds blocking the sun
You changed my life

Well, the nature of man is to beg and to steal
I do it myself, it's not so unreal
The call of the wild is forever at my door
Wants me to fly like an eagle while being chained to the floor

But you changed my life
Came along in a time of strife
From silver and gold to what man cannot hold
You changed my life

I was eating with the pigs off a fancy tray
I was told i was looking good and to have a nice day
It all seemed so proper, it all seemed so elite
Eating that absolute garbage while being so discreet

But you changed my life
Came along in a time of strife
From silver and gold to what man cannot hold
You changed my life

You were glowing in the sun while being peaceably calm
While orphans of man danced to the beat of the palm
Your eyes were on fire, your feet were of brass
In the world you had made they made you an outcast

You changed my life
Came along in a time of strife
From silver and gold to what man cannot hold
You changed my life

There was someone in my body that I could hardly see
Invading my privacy making my decisions for me
Holding me back, not letting me stand
Making me feel like a stranger in a strange land

But you changed my life
Came along in a time of strife
You come down the line, give me a new mind
You changed my life

My Lord and my Savior, my companion, my friend
Heart fixer, mind regulator, true to the end
My creator, my comforter, my cause for joy
What the world is set against but will never destroy

You changed my life
Came along in a time of strife
You came in like the wind,
You changed my life

was not happy ending for us

2010-05-01T15:16:00.006+02:00

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest words that I've ever written
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wasting every day

2 o'clock in the morning, something is on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothing ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

all we can do is keep breathing

2010-04-10T16:05:00.003+02:00

The storm is coming but I don't mind

People are dying, I close my blinds

All that I know is I'm breathing

now I want to change the world

Instead I sleep

I want to believe in more than you and me

But all that I know is I'm breathing

you...

2010-03-12T20:50:00.005+01:00

All these lines across my face,
tell you the story of who I am,
So many stories of where I've been
and how I got where I am
But these stories don´t mean anything
when you have got no one to tell them to
and that is you.
You see the smile that is on my mouth
it is hidding the words dont come out
all the friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through
like you do ....

Forgetful heart

2009-10-07T22:37:00.003+02:00

Forgetful heart
Lost your power of recall
Every little detail
You don't remember at all
The times we knew
Who would remember better then you

Forgetful heart
We laughed and had a good time you and I
It's been so long
Now you're content to let the days go by
When you were there
You were the answer to my prayer

Forgetful heart
We loved with all the love that life can give
What can I say
Without you it's so hard to live
Can't take much more
Why can't we love like we did before

Forgetful heart
Like a walking shadow in my brain
All night long
I lay awake and listen to the sound of pain
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door

Aeon

2009-08-26T22:27:00.004+02:00

Oh aeon
My baby boy
Oh aeon will take care of me

All the stars, your eyes
Raining just for me
Oh aeon will set me free

Oh aeon
My baby boy
Oh aeon will repair me

Oh his heart enjoyed
Restores eyes alloyed
Carry me through the olden void

Oh aeon
His arms are warm
Oh aeon was never born

Aeon’s eyes forlorn
He contains the storm
He’s the pasture of my dawn

Oh aeon
My baby boy
Oh aeon will take care of me

Hold my father
For it is myself
Without him I wouldn’t exist

Oh aeon
Love my father
For my father is myself

Hold that man
In your tender clutch
Hold that man I love so much

Just pray for...

2009-08-08T14:53:00.003+02:00

I'll send you a letter
From the frontline
Please send applause
And some good advice
You were born with a compass
A map on your table
Tell me how did you find out
Your bearings were wrong

Just pray for us
Pray for sunshine
These days are cold
And I'm missing you
The city is no place to lose
Ah, but I never thought
I could choose
It was plain from the start
Plain from the start
I was playing for time

I need laughter and love
Some special drug
I need cigarettes
There's killers behind us
Devils ahead, send protection
I will drown in this city
I will drown in this trench
Built for us
And the only thing left
Yeah the only thing left
Is the running

And these clouds keep on rolling
And I, I don't know why
Take this guitar right out of my hands
I surrender
This town don't want drunkards
Or singers of bad poetry
They want dancing and drugs and laughter
And we don't have them

Just pray for us
Pray for sunshine
These days are cold
And I'm missing you
This letter was meant for your eyes
Destroy it and then just go hide
You're the only thing left
That makes any sense
Please don't blow it

When you are near me

2009-06-07T11:19:00.002+02:00

When you're near me I have no fear
When I'm untrue you see right through me
You know me as deep as the sea goes
Calm my head whenever the storm blows

In my restless hour I'm holding
The words you say that lay my soul to sleep
I dream of buildings that burn
The sky turns black I toss and turn

This love branches out like an oak tree
Reach for the sky and roots to the sea
So when you're shaken down and broken
Find some peace of mind in knowing

I'd throw them all away when I'm hollow
Deep as the sea goes, all I know is
I would throw it all away... far away

Corner of your heart

2009-05-10T10:44:00.003+02:00

There is a corner of your heart,
for me,
there is a corner of your heart,
just for me,
I will pack my bags,
just to stay in the corner of your heart.

There is room beneath beneath your bed,
just for me,
I will leave this time,
just to sleep underneath your bed,
there is one minute of your day.

I will leave my past,
just to occupy one minute of your day
just to sleep underneath your bed
just to stay in the corner of your heart.

Baby, don't take your love away.

2009-04-18T10:05:00.003+02:00

Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be in some technicolor dream
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe
I'm not fool enough to think you couldn't live life without me

I didn't come this far to throw the towel in
I didn't fight this hard to walk away
If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry
It's just because the words got in the way

I remember how it used to be
I was you and you were me
We were more than just the same
Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight
When you want a kiss, I take a bite

Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights
Last night I drank enough to drown
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health
Look, we both know how much I've let you down
So baby, don't you take your love away from me.

You deserve someone to give it to you straight
To find the soul through flesh and bone
My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather
But it's left me feeling cold
Now all you wanna do is take me home

I hated you, the night you said you loved me
I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself
I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me
I got one foot in, one foot off the ground

fuck up

2009-04-02T00:17:00.003+02:00

She is always arround my mind
like an elf with sad sight
a mirrow for the solitude
that always follows me

she would never grow up
but I never found out that
she was already given her live up
but she liked to play with me anyway

Do the right thing

2009-03-25T18:10:00.002+01:00

Don't wanna judge nobody, don't wanna be judged,
Don't wanna touch nobody, don't wanna be touched.
Don't wanna hurt nobody, don't wanna be hurt,
Don't wanna treat nobody like they was dirt.
