Move it up, Shake it down
We gonna move it all up
shake it all down
we gonna jump together
with our feet off the ground
and we fly in the air
like we just don’t care

and gonna make love tonight… More

Stay at Home
I stay at home
All alone
I’m stranded on my own
In the garden
I hear the birds sing
They’re the warden
of a newborn spring
They seem happy
and without fear
And they fly over the graveyards
without a tear
And i wish i could sing
In that blue… More
Silence in the Street
There is silence in the street
I can hear my walking feet
And I’m so aware
There is some magic in the air
No cars spitting out their gas
I’m walking first class
I’m a king without a crown
On the pavement in my home town
I love corona walks… More
Gloomy Day
Days double the daze,
embrace the mellow maze
feel the grace when gloomy days
wake up with a sleepy face
daffodils down the drain
you can feel their pain
on a station in the rain
you wait in vain for a train
ding a dong
sing along
you may be… More
Peace of Mind
Where can I find
some peace of mind
Where can I go
I just don’t know
My love
Far away
On the video chat
We talk every day
Limited by borders
The absence of flights
We gotta be strong
Keep our faith upright
One day
We’ll meet again
I just… More
Reflection
These are the days
of reflection
These are the hours
of resurrection
These are the minutes
to stand still
These are the seconds
to feel the chill
I’m back in the house
where i grew up to be a man
I’m happy to talk with my mother
about the days… More
The Dream Girl Couldn’t Sleep
When the dream girl sighs
she’ll take you away
over the mystic doorstep
to a forest…. far away
she will paint in colors
on the wall of fate
she will draw the curtains
of a translucent state
the dream girl couldn’t sleep at night
she’s busy invading dreams
sowing the… More
Blues and the Muse
I’ve got the blues, I’ve got my shoes
I’ve got a muse and nothing to lose
carry my guitar on my back
I pick a flower on the lonesome track
the troubadour writes. the troubadour sings
about dirty angels losing their wings
the troubadour dives into the sea
riding the… More
The Siren won’t sing today
The siren used to come out and play
like a muse she showed the way
her songs blew the night away
and gave birth to a brighter day
Slowly slip sliding away
it led the senses allay
like a flower in a field of May
like a soul on all… More
The Music Man
The music man thinks of the place
where the muse had passed with so much grace
was it real or was it a dream?
Sometimes things are not what they seem
One thing he learned from the days
when the whirlwinds held him in their sways
music is the language… More
Catch a Lightning Ray
When I feel the lightning wanna strike me today
and rains of confusion are coming my way
I will be running find a place to hide
on the slippery roads I try to stride
I gotta keep on going along the way
I gotta keep on running and catch a… More
