Daar waar we amper kunnen staan

Thursday, January 10, 2008

Je zat mooi en vol glitters, verdrinkend in een sjaal, op me te wachten. Daar aan de voeten van de kille stenen man. Bleek en vol ogen, zoals je altijd bent. (Lokkend naar het hart.)
Ik lag te beven in de stad, met rijm op al mijn jaren. Het gekraak van die éne nacht. (Je had aan mij je longen vol.)
Wij slopen door mekaar, een zucht door onze monden. Witte adem en later in je huisgeworden kamer viel alles van je af.


My name

    Why don't you ask me
    How long i've been waiting
    Set down on the road
    With the gunshots exploding
    I'm waiting for you
    In the gloom and the blazing
    I'm waiting for you

    I sing like a slave i know
    I should know better
    I've learned all my lessons
    Right down to the letter
    And still i go on like this
    Year after year
    Waiting for miracles
    And shaking with fear

    Why don't you answer
    Why don't you come save me
    Show me how to use
    All these things
    That you gave me
    Turn me inside out
    So my bones can save me
    Turn me inside out

    You've come this close
    You can come even closer
    The gunshots get louder
    And the world spins faster
    And things just get further
    And further apart
    The head from the hands
    And the hands from the heart

    One thing that's true
    Is the way that i love him
    The earth down below
    And the sky up above him
    And still i go on like this
    Day after day
    Still i go on like this

    Now i've said this
    I already feel stronger
    I can't keep waiting for you
    Any longer
    I need you now
    Not someday
    When i'm ready
    Come down on the road
    Come down on the road

    My name my name
    Nothing is the same
    I won't go back
    The way i came

    Blij dat ik hier al bladerend ben beland...
    Ik lees hier ondertussen al weer even mee en blijf me verwonderen over zoveel moois.
    Dank je om te delen.

    Absoluut, Louise!

    Altijd fijn te ontdekken dat er mij nog onbekenden meelezen, Yad Eno.
