bad dreams

I don't want to go to bed
'Cause all these voices in my head
Are clawing at me like a nightmare
Seems every time I close my eyes
I slowly start to realize
That these dreams will always be there

luxembourg - paris

A city of light
Doesn't seem right
At least not for someone like me
In darkness I hide
Holding my pride
And everything else setting free

Paris - Glasgow

Every place I go
Is fine for just a while
But there's one place I know
That's exactly my own style

I haven't been there often
But I always try my best
For it makes my heart soften
Faster than the rest

Every place I go
Is fine for just a while
But there's one place I know
That can always make me smile

I dream about it every night
Think about it through the day
Something about it just seems right
Oh how I long for a way

To stay forever
In my dreams
The land I love
Is far away it seems

How Quickly Daft Jumping Zebras Vex

A little smile is all I need
To get me through my day
No matter how bad it seems
It doesn't have to stay that way

I look around just breathe in
The world that's all around me
So much to see so much to do
So much that I could never be

Burden

どうしていつも 同じ問題がある
間違った時 思い出せない
それから もっと危なくなる
一人だけ 忍びたい

この後を絶たない旅行
僕の放浪癖 エンドレスな夢
やめたいけど できないよ
永遠までの厄介はまた不明

I can't explain what it means to me
Only what it doesn't
I could only know what I meant to be
Even when I wasn't

History

Some people live for tomorrow
And some for yesterday
But I'm not the kind to ever
Look at things that way

The past defines who we were
Not who we are
And tomorrow is a dream away
So I'll keep on searching
For my star
Thinking only of today

Never look back
But remember the good things
It shouldn't be the bad times
For which the heart sings

"Pretty, Unique"

I was far away this morning
Thinking I'd never come back
But once again I find myself
Riding down this lonesome track

You can't stand to hear the things I say
Everything I do is always wrong
I'm not sure how I always manage
To stay with you so long

I swear I'm never coming back
Each time I head for that door
I try to find what it is I lack
But end up wanting so much more

You can't stand to hear the things I say
Everything I do is always wrong
I'm not sure how I always manage
To stay with you so long

I never know the right things
But I'll always try my best
I want to believe in my heart
And hope you can see the rest

You can't stand to hear the things I say
Everything I do is always wrong
I'm not sure how I always manage
To stay with you so long

InterCity Express

It came early spring had sprung
In comes Easter what has it brung
I could enquire but that's not my style
It came early so I'll sit for a while

Rolling backward toward a dream
It's funny how things always seem
To pull me away when I want to stay
I guess it's got to be that way

Moving on and on I see
That that's just how life is for me
Can't stay in one place for too long
I always sing a different song

Rolling backward toward a dream
It's funny how things always seem
To pull me away when I want to stay
I guess it's got to be that way

I'll never think I've seen too much
As place to place I always rush
But what I miss may be worth more
Than the wonders found on every shore

Rolling backward toward a dream
It's funny how things always seem
To pull me away when I want to stay
I guess it's got to be that way

Wien - Praha

It's been many years since I could
Ease my fears staring at the stars
Shed some tears wondering why
I'd lend my ears let someone else cry

On my shoulder while I kept mine
Dream of Boulder fading with time
As I grew older I never understood
Why people grew colder changing for good

So alone I'd wander looking for my star
Of travel growing fonder didn't matter how far
Sit and ponder lying on the grass

As my world falls apart around me

Switching tones
Switching sides
Changing moods
Changing minds

sonnet...sort of

"for my doctor"

each city that I visit
has a special song for me
and that's not shameful, is it
if music is all I see

the skylines stretching out
and churches made of stone
leave no shadow of a doubt
that I must walk alone

companions come and go
on this eternal earth
and few will ever know
the city of my birth

so my guide will be wanderlust
until my bones have turned to dust
