Post a song lyric

Dunno if anyone knows Elfquest and loves the work of the Pinis as much as me, but I think so. I am even less sure, if anyone knows the Wolfrider's Reflection, a wonderful CD that gets your head in different worlds and is totally inspiring. So here the song of Winnowill: "Shades of Shadow" (words: Mercedes Lackey -music: Leslie Fish)

"Softly as a shadow's sigh shadows walk, and there walk I.
Shadow's darkness in my soul, shadow power is my goal.
Power to give, and power to take, power to build and to unmake,
Power to make you writhe with pain,
Power to take it back again.

CHORUS:
You shape wood, and earth, and stone.
I shape flesh, and brain, and bone.
Soft tree-shapers, Healer-wives;
You shape living. I shape lives.

Softly through our shadowed halls my thoughts steal, and rule them all.
Some have tried my rule to end; pain and power are shadow's friend.
For he spoke insult to my face; I stand here, and he is Brace.
She who sought my rule before;
I was stronger... She is Door.

CHORUS

Free the Flyers, but it remains that they'll return to seek their chains.
Hooded falcons who think they're free, and follow to my lure, and me.
For every thought they own is mine; my will wreathes theirs like a vine.
For the love I cannot have,
Pain and power my balm and salve.

CHORUS"

 

Geneet van 't leave

Geneet van 't laeve zolang este kins.
Maak sjpas en plezeer, de laefs toch mèr ins.
Want sjtraks, es 't te laat, is hubste sjpiet dervan.
Geneet dus van 't laeve zolang es 't nog kan.

Translation:
Enjoy your life as long as you can.
Make fun and joy, you only live once.
Because later when it is to late, then you will regret it.
So enjoy your life, as long as you can.

It is a song in dialect Dutch, so no proper Dutch. Hehe. The dialect is from my southern region, and well some people in the north (with proper Dutch) think we talk very weird! Hehe. Anyway we sing this song for special birthdays with big parties, like becoming 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 ... You get it ;P I just love the song for its is so true!

 

Ron Pope - A Drop in the Ocean

A drop in the ocean,​

A change in the weather,​

I was praying that you and me might end up together.​

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,​

But I'm holding you closer than most,​

'Cause you are my heaven.​

I don't wanna waste the weekend,​

If you don't love me, pretend​

A few more hours, then it's time to go.​

As my train rolls down the East Coast,​

I wonder how you'll keep warm.​

It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.​

And still I can't let you be,​

Most nights I hardly sleep.​

Don't take what you don't need from me.​

It´s just s drop in the ocean,​

A change in the weather,​

I was praying that you and me might end up together.​

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,​

But I'm holding you closer than most,​

'Cause you are my heaven.​

Misplaced trust and old friends,​

Never counting regrets,​

By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.​

New England as the leaves change;​

The last excuse that I'll claim,​

I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.​

And still I can't let you be,​

Most nights I hardly sleep,​

Don't take what you don't need from me.​

It´s just s drop in the ocean,​

A change in the weather,​

I was praying that you and me might end up together.​

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,​

But I'm holding you closer than most,​

'Cause you are my​

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no.​

Heaven doesn't seem far away.​

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no.​

Heaven doesn't seem far away.​

A drop in the ocean,​

A change in the weather,​

I was praying that you and me might end up together.​

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,​

But I'm holding you closer than most,​

'Cause you are my heaven.​

You are my heaven​

 

One of the songs of my favourite Dutch band: Di-Rect! <3

Di-Rect - Say Something
So many nights
I've dreamed how it all could end
Is mind control, taking the upper hand
So many nights I thought I'd never see the break of dawn

Show me the light
instead of the red from hell
Open my blue eyes, they're sealed, could you show and tell
Show me the light I've been imprisoned by my own mistakes

It's not too late to do something
Right from the heart, which means something
It's not too late to say something

Where is the time
that once wasn't running out
Live in the moment, or stray down the road of doubt
Where is the time when we were reaching out a helping hand

Will we have faith
In the value of our human lives
Will reality bring fear in the heart of our endless drive
Will we have faith in all that's passionate and insecure

It's not too late to do something
Right from the heart, which means something
It's not too late to say something
This time

We could live in our thoughts
We could hold on to pride
But if we speak from the heart
It will widen our eyes

It's not too late to do something
Right from the heart, which means something
It's not too late to be a friend



Also, I love playing songs by The Maine on guitar, so here is just one of my all-time favs:

 

Paris - Joshua Kadison
"Ezra was an old man
He lived by the sea.
Watchin' himself gettin' older,
With no Family.
And Cassie was a pretty one,
A bartender by trade.
She had a daughter with big green eyes,
She called her Jade.
They met each other in the park,
While Jade was on a swing.
On a bench underneath a tree,
They talked about everything.
And she said, Sometimes I get so scared,
But I don't know why.
She reached for the old man's hand,
and she began to cry.
And he said,
it ain't no crime, It ain't no crime...
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime...
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.

Then he said...
I was gonna be a painter,
gonna paint my masterpiece.
I spent my whole life dreamin',
now they're my only memories.
And I was gonna live in Paris, France
Now my body's fallin' apart.
I could be Pablo Picasso if dillusion were an art.
And she said,
"That sounds lovely... Paris, France
Just sayin' those words,
Kinda makes me wanna dance,
Do you wanna dance?"

It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime...
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime...
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.

They'd meet there every Sunday
In the park at noon.
Ezra would get there early
To buy Jade a red balloon.
And Cassie'd tell him all about
her awful luck with men.
She's say, "Wish I could find a guy like you
But they'll never make you again."
And Jade would fall asleep on Ezra's lap
there in the park.
While Cassie'd still be talkin' a long time after dark.

Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes.

One Sunday afternoon,
no Ezra, No red balloon.
Just a friend of his who said,
"Ezra Passed Away.
And he wanted me to bring this letter to you today."
Well it was 2 tickets to Paris and a note that read,
'Thank you for the dance...
My dearest Cassie,
you were my Paris, France.'

It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime...
Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes"

I love Joshua Kadison as a great musician and poet. And you just have to love this song.

 

Just a quick Irish Blessing<3
May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

 

Another Irish blessing <3

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I bought a souvenir from Belfast with this blessing on it for my grandmother. When I returned she had to go to the hospital so well.. but she was so happy with it! I got it back after she died. And now I will always keep it, because it reminds me of her and of my lovely Ireland.

 

Oh gosh guys, for everyone that actually knows at least a bit of German. This is not German. It is Austrian. To understand with knowledge of German but not too easy. But translation is there as well
"Ma derf´s net hassen, net verfluachen
Sie san verletzbar so wie du
Doch a net unersetzbar, wia a echter Freund
Du kannst im Heu die Nadeln suachen
Unter Glasscherb´n Diamanten
A echte Freundschaft, die hat Kanten
Und is manchmal unbequem

Kana is schuldig
Sei net ungeduldig
Wenns´d nix Rechts find´st
Du kriagst immer nur die Freund, die du verdienst

I waß genau wovon i red
Ihr könnt´s ma´s glauben oder net
Bei Freund da zählt ka Summe da zält die Qualität

I war tausendmal der Dumme
Hab mi verraten und verbrannt
Heut hab i Freund, net mehr als Finger an der Hand

Auf jeden kann i mi verlassen
Genauso wie er si auf mi
Weu Freundschaft nie a Einbahnstraßen is"

"You are not allowed to hate them or curse them,
they are vincible just like you
but not irreplaceable like a true friend
you can search for a needle in a haystack
the diamond under broken glass
a true friendship has rough edges
and is sometimes inconvenient

Noone is resposible
do not be impatient
If you do not find the right ones
you always get the friends you deserve

I know what I am talking about
believe it or not
When it is about friends it is not the sum that counts it is the quality

I was the foll 1000 times
I sold myself down the river
Nowadays I have less friend than fingers on one hand

On everyone I can rely
as well as he on me
because friendship is no one way track"

Reinhard Fendrich: Die Freundschaft (=Friendship) for me a song that is true in so many parts. And today I am just thankful for knowing such wonderful people and having some friends that support me.

 

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

​

Making my way downtown​

Walking fast​

Faces pass​

And I'm home bound​

​

Staring blankly ahead​

Just making my way​

Making a way​

Through the crowd​

​

And I need you​

And I miss you​

And now I wonder....​

​

If I could fall​

Into the sky​

Do you think time​

Would pass me by​

'Cause you know I'd walk​

A thousand miles​

If I could ​

Just see you​

Tonight​

​

It's always times like these​

When I think of you​

And I wonder​

If you ever ​

Think of me​

​

'Cause everything's so wrong​

And I don't belong​

Living in your​

Precious memories​

​

'Cause I need you​

And I miss you​

And now I wonder....​

​

If I could fall​

Into the sky​

Do you think time​

Would pass me by​

'Cause you know I'd walk​

A thousand miles​

If I could ​

Just see you​

Tonight​

​

And I, I​

Don't want to let you know​

I, I​

Drown in your memory​

I, I​

Don't want to let this go​

I, I​

Don't....​

​

Making my way downtown​

Walking fast​

Faces pass​

And I'm home bound​

​

Staring blankly ahead​

Just making my way​

Making a way​

Through the crowd​

​

And I still need you​

And I still miss you​

And now I wonder....​

​

If I could fall​

Into the sky​

Do you think time​

Would pass us by​

'Cause you know I'd walk​

A thousand miles​

If I could ​

Just see you...​

​

If I could fall​

Into the sky​

Do you think time​

Would pass me by​

'Cause you know I'd walk​

A thousand miles​

If I could ​

Just see you​

If I could ​

Just hold you​

Tonight​

​
