The things we never did

When I think of all the things we never did together
The sunsets and the sights we never shared
I sigh a little sigh, and life speeds right on by
And mocks us for the time we never spared
I remember all the trips we never took together
The trains we missed, the hills we never climbed
I never understood why somehow we never could
And now you ́re walking ghostly in my mind
Everywhere I go, everywhere I roam
All our long lost hours follow me back home
I regret the many talks we never had together
And I ́m sorry for secrets selves we hid
Although we can not meet, it ́s always bitter sweet
Just to dream of all the things we never did

Down the road

Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the road we did not take
Toward the door we never opened
And the love we could not make
Shadows flicker in the memory
Of a clearing in the wood
Where we heard some spirit whisper
But we never understood
Some believe it´s all been written
Every move and every break
Every twist and every turning
Every tremble of the lake
Maybe when the dreams are over
One fine morning we´ll awake
Hand in hand at last and singing
Down the road we did not take
Between one dream and another
The days run by
We spoil one scheme or the other
And wonder why

Unlit room

In an unlit room
In an unmade bed
Like I´m almost drowned
Just an unknown bird
In an unkind town
Wishing I was outward bound
I´m just the unsung hero
Of an unwritten romance
That never did get off the ground
I am in
In an unlit room
In an unreal world
Like I´m almost drowned
Take me to the lost and found

After we've gone

Who will live in our house
After we've gone
Will they have green plastic
Instead of a lawn?
Who will live in our house
After the wars?
Will there be mutations
That crawl on all fours?
Will the shiny robots workers
Be dreaming strange, new dreams?
Will the pigeons, big as turkeys
Roost on our ancient beams?
Who will use our kitchen?
What will they cook?
Who will sleep in our room
And how will they look?
Will they feel our ghosts disturbing
Their cybernetic years
With the echoes of our laughter
And the shadow of our tears?
Will there still be lovers?
Who will sing our songs?
Who will live in our house
After we've gone?

Brush the twigs out of your hair if you live in a cave
Enter quietly
Love the animals in the house
Don´t feed the fish
Never drink anything but one can of diet Cola
Eat one tuna salad sandwich on bread, not toast
Ask for more vacuum cleaner bags
If you bring a book hide it under a towel in the bathroom
Read nowhere else
Sit nowhere else
Leave quietly
You will be rewarded in heaven
Where angels are even now weaving tapestries to line the walls of your cave

Dust

Just a handful of dust
That is all we are
We come from a place
In the space between the stars
So a scientist said
In the paper today
And it stays in my mind
As I see the way we play
´Cause when you seem to be so near
The fickle moment flies
And when I try to see you clear
The dust gets in my eyes
It´s so hard to contain
All our anger and lust
But what can you expect
From a handful of dust
We´ve blown around like thistledown
Just rootless, faithless fools
Still in a straying ray of light
This dust can shine like jewels
There is one thing at least
We can cling to and trust
It´s the music that springs
From a handful of dust
It´s the music that springs
From a handful of
