WHEN THE BEST ONES ARE GONE –  C.SANDTORV

 

Did I ever tell you

you hit me like the sun

did we ever talk about

how to hang on?

 

Did I ever tell you

you caught me like a wind

did we ever talk about

how to begin?

 

When everything falls apart

everything breaks up

somehow you must start

to pick up the pieces

and your broken heart

 

Did I ever tell you

you were loved by everyone

did we ever talk about

what to do when the best ones are gone?

 

Everything falls apart

everything breaks up

somehow you must start

to pick up the pieces

and your broken heart

 

Like a wave

a sudden blow

an undertow

more than you

will ever know

I miss you so

 

 

TROUBLE –  C. SANDTORV

 

Let your troubles go

with the wind

let them blow

like leaves

 

Let your laughter run

over the fields

let the sun

dry your tears

 

Out of sight

out of mind

no, even if I were deaf or blind

it is easy to tell

you still love him

so easy to tell

you haven’t stopped

caring

 

Let your burdens fly

in the blink

of an eye

like dust

 

Let your laughter run

over the fields

let the sun

dry your tears

 

LABYRINTH – C. SANDTORV

 

From the floor

or from the roof

I don’t like the view

in the dark

or in the sun

I feel blue

 

It’s so simple

should be easy

still so hard to say

let me breathe

then whisper to me:

It will be okay

 

I thought I would never make it

I thought I was gone

I was wrong

I thought I could never find

another way back home

but I belong

here with you

 

Far away

or almost there

I need a clue

in the sky

or on the sea

you see me through

 

 

MAGIC – C. SANDTORV

 

May I get a word with you

half an hour

I am sure that would do

may I get a word with you?

 

May I sit down by your side

kill your darlings

kill your pride

may I sit down by your side?

 

No one cares

cares like I do

the sun is shining bright

and so are you

no one loves

loves you like I do

the summer night is magic

and so are you

 

Do you see my heart of gold

it skips a beat

you are sold

do you see my heart of gold?

When the sun is hiding

we keep on fighting

in the poems that I am writing

you are my thunder

I am your lightning

 

 

HEARTBEAT – C. SANDTORV

I am like an open fire

all wrapped up in blankets

for too long

but still i glow

 

I am like a dying flower

without love or water

for too long

but still I grow

 

Like the swans floating on the water

we were meant to swim side by side

one day there was ice over the water

you flew away, and I, I almost died

 

I still have a heartbeat

hidden hopes and dreams

I still have a heartbeat

I can get back on my feet

I am like a silver birch

blowing in the wind

for too long

but I am still calm
