DREAM HOUNDS
DREAM HOUNDS
S.JENSEN © 2012-13 redone 2017
LOST IN IT ALL
ONE DAY FROM
ALL THE LIES
THEY MAKE
INSIDE WITHOUT
A SINGLE TRACE
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
LOOKIN TO FIND
A BETTER SITUATION
NEVER COMES
OF THE RAINY DAYS
NEVERENDING
PRISM OF COLOURS
SO BRIGHT
THEY MOMENTARILY SHINE
LOST MY SENSES
IN THE BLINK
OF AN EYE
OVER RUN THIS PULSE
WHEN SUNSETS
THE FINAL SKY
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
THE HEART SWORE
IT WOULD FIND
A WAY
SURVIVING
ALL THE WORDS
WRITTEN
AS THE SOUNDS
RANG OUT
LOUD AND CLEAR
SUDDENLY
FELT SO ALONE
NOT UNDERSTANDING
THEIR TRUE
MEANING
IT WALKED IN
LIKE A TIDAL WAVE
PUSHING MY INTELLECT
OUT THE
WINDOW
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
ROLLING IN AND OUT…
OH HOW COULD
I LET IT HAPPEN
OH HOW COULD
I JUST LET IT HAPPEN
THE RISKS I MADE
THE DRASTIC REMINDERS
OF THE COST
I SHOUTED IT
I SAID IT
AND THE WALLS
SHOOK
BUT
TO GET TO HER
WAS IMPOSSIBLE
FAR FAR TOO LATE
WAS I
NOR DID I KNOW
DAMN BLOODY
YEARS
THOUGHTS IN MY MIND
CIRCLE AROUND
MY CREATIVE
INTENTIONS
TO SAVE ME
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
HAVE I SO MESSED IT UP
IN TIME SO
OVERRUN
WITH EMOTIONS
I AM NOT
GOOD AT FEELING
SOMETIMES
I CAN BE SO COLD
OTHERS SO
DEEPLY HOT
SACRIFICES
I DIDN’T WANT TO MAKE
FELT SO WRONG
AND SO
I CARRIED FOREWARD
OH THE TRUTH
SHE DESERVES
TO KNOW
WHY
MY HEART RAN AWAY
SHE HAD MOVED ON
SO I LET GO
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
ARE ALWAYS CALLING…
NO ONE COULD
STILL FEEL
THE SAME
AFTER ALL THIS
TIME PASSING US BY
OH SO MANY
YEARS
MY FRIEND
DID I MISS YOU
NOW WE CHAT
OFF AND ON
ON OPPOSITE
SIDES OF THE WORLD
A LONG WAY
FROM OUR
LITTLE
CANOE RIDES
OR
SUMMER
TRAILS
AND GAMES
WE SO PLAYED
SIT WITH DUST
ON THE SHELVES
PASSING THE
TIME AWAY
WITHOUT PURPOSE
FOR ALL
THOSE I LOST
ALONG THE WAY
FROM SMALL TO BIG
FROM ONE CHANCES
TO LIFETIMES AGO
THE MOMENTS
AND OH
HOW MY LOVE
SO TENDS TO BE
BLIND
MORE AND MORE
PLAYS OF
FOOLISHNESS
I LET IT HAPPEN
AND RELISHED IN
THE PLAY
IGNORING THE FACTS
AND LOGIC
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
FEELING YOU NO LONGER
KNOW TO
WHAT I FEEL
LOST SO MANY
FOUND MANY BACK
YET NEVER
EVER
TO RELISH THAT
KIND OF FRIENDSHIP
AGAIN
WASHING MY HEART
AWAY WITH IT ALL
STILL I REMAIN
THE SAME
AS BEFORE
JUST WISER
NOW
OH MY MIND
WAS SO ON FIRE
AND ALL
THE SPACES IN BETWEEN
THE YOU AND I
AND US OR THEM
LOST
FROM RIGHTS TO WRONGS
FROM
JOYS TO HORRORS
TRAVELED
DOWN A PATH
THAT NEITHER
WANTED THE CHOICES
IT WOULD BRING
LIKE A FOUNTAIN
IT JUST ALL SPILLED OUT
WRITING WAY
TOO MUCH
OF ME
FAR TO FAST
MY MIND WAS RACING
ON FIRE
FROM THE
ILLNESS
THAT NO LONGER
SITS THERE
SLOWLY FADING
OUT INTO OBLIVION
WITH MY
WAYS
WICKED LITTLE WAYS
I LOCKED THEM
ALL AWAY
HOW DARE I DREAM
OH DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
SO HOOKED
SO FAST
LIKE A FISH HUNGRY
FOR THE BAIT
CAUGHT LIKE
A SPIDER TO
THE WEB
OH THE LIES
OF MY LOST HEART
THE VERY SECOND
I SAW IT WAS
NOT HER
I CRIED AND ALMOST
DIED RIGHT THERE
TO THAT SOUND
IN MY EARS
PLAYING OVER
THE RECORDS OF
IT ALL
GOING HOW COULD
IT HAVE BEEN
SO WRONG
SO HURT
DID IT DO
OVER AND OVER
I LET IT
NOW RANGING
IN MYSTERIES
FACTS FORGOTTEN
TO RESEARCH
FOR IDEAS
TO WRITE
LOST IT ALL
DEAR FRIENDS
SO WALKED FAR
FAR AWAY NOW
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
NEVER GO
ALWAYS SEEING
THAT WHICH
WILL NEVER BE
CONSEQUENCES
OF TAKING THE EDGE
AND RUNNING WITH IT
HEARD MY NAME
AND RAN OFF
LIKE A CHILD
LEFT TO MY
SORROWS
ALWAYS LEFT
TO THAT WHICH
IS ALWAYS
A FORGOTTEN
STONE WALL
NOW
WITH ITS CRACKS
THEY CREATED
PATCHED THEM ALL
TO UNBREAK
MY HEART
AND SAVE MY
SOUL
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
HOPING THEIR LIVES
ARE FULL OF HAPPINESS
AND TREASURE
THE IMMORTAL
RANKS OF THOSE
THAT CARRY
OUR GENES
FROM OUR CHILDREN
FOREWARD
WHEN WE ALL ARE GONE
ALL IN THE RHYTHMS
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
TO OVERCOME
AND ALL FAR DOWN
IN THE OCEAN
LIKE THE BORDERS
OF LOVE
NEVER REAL
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
FOREVER
SEEING WHAT
I SEE
WAVES OF LIGHT
FLOWED IN AND OUT
AS I WALKED
IN BETWEEN
AND LOST
CONTACT
WITH THE HERE
AND NOW
TRAVELING ON
MY WAY BACK
AROUND
SO COMPELLED
THEY CALLED
AND CALLED
AND BEGGED
ME TO STAY
WRACKING MY BRAIN
TO SAY NO
GO AWAY
HOLY WATER
DRANK IT DOWN
SO ALL OF IT
LEFT ME
IN THE MATTER
OF MINUTES
OH SO LONG LONG AGO
THE CHALLENGES
WE ALL FACE
AS WE BATTLE
THAT WHICH
I LEFT BEHIND
FROM GOOD
TO EVIL
TO ITS NEVER ENDING
RAGE
OF THAT WHICH
I SO WALKED
AWAY FROM
LIKE BLACK AND WHITE
FILM
FOLLOWED
IN THE GREY CLOUDS
LOOKING
FOR MY COLOURS
THAT JUST DON’T
SHINE THERE
ANY MORE
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
HAVE NO HOME
TO REST
NEXT TO MINE
HEAD HURT
AS MY HEART HURT
SO LONG
CRIED TO MANY
RIVERS
AND LET IT PASS ME
BY
TO GAIN
SOME KIND OF SANITY
IN A MIST
OF QUOTES
AND INSPIRATIONS
EACH DAY
I WORKED
MY WAY BACK
LEAVING BEHIND
THOUGHTS THAT
JUST MADE NO SENSE
ON A PHYSICAL
LEVEL
BUT OH SO MUCH
ON A SPIRITUAL
JOURNEY
DID I GO
DO I NOW WALK
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
FROM NEGATIVE
TO POSITIVE
AND ALL THE WORLDS
THAT WALK THE WAYS
OF THE LINES
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
ALWAYS WARNING
FOR MANY YEARS
REMAINED IN HIDING
BUT RIPE FOR THE
RAPING
I TORE THE CHARM
APART ALLOWING
THE CURSE TO FOLLOW
BUT SAVING
MY LIFE
DAYS IN
AND DAYS OUT
GOING THROUGH
ALL THE PEOPLE
TO FEEL GROUNDED
LISTENING
TO EACH WORD
OH TO THE FICKLE
CARELESSNESS
OF ME
LETTING THE THEM
IN …
WE ALL WALK AWAY
WHEN WE CAN
THE FIXED
DAMAGES
ON ALL SIDES
SO WRONG TO ALL
INVOLVED
AND ONLY KNOWING
MY SIDE OF THIS
IT IS LIKE
WHY DID THEY
DO THIS
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
THERE ARE NO SECRETS
TO WHO I AM
THE ARTIST
THE LONELY ONE
I TRAVEL THIS
PATH FOR A VERY
LONG TIME NOW
SEEMS FOR
TWO DECADES
I SEARCHED
IN VAIN
TO FIND
THAT WHICH
ONLY MADE IT
SO MUCH MORE
IN VAIN
NO WHERE NEAR
WHERE I WANTED
IT TO ORIGINALLY BE
HAD TO LET GO
SO HAD TO LET GO
SLIPPING
CHANCES THROUGH
MY HANDS
THAT COULD HAVE
BEEN GOOD
FOR ALL OF US
BUT NO
SOMEONE OR
SOMEONES FOR THAT
MATTER
MAKE SO MUCH
UNNECESSARILY FUCKED
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
ALL I HAVE
IS HOPE
HOW EVIL IS THAT
HOPE FOR A
LOST CAUSE
LOST ME
LIKE HOUNDS TO CALL
IN THIS LOVE
THAT NEVER
REALLY WAS
REAL
THOUGH I DIDN’T
KNOW THAT
TIL FAR TOO LATE
TECHNOLOGY
BROKEN
LOCKED AND LOST
SO MUCH
IMPORTANT THINGS
TO NO ONE
BUT ME
FOR A LOST
LINK FRIENDSHIP
SO TWISTED IN THE PROCESS
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
SO CRAZY
DID IT TAKE ME
THROUGH ALL THE
NOISE
LINKED MY MIND
TO A CHAOS
I REFUSE TO FOLLOW
REFUSE TO ALLOW
OH TO THE
REAL
SO REAL PARTS
OF THIS ALL
I AM ALWAYS SAYING
IT IS WHAT IT IS
NOW
WHAT IS DONE
IS DONE
BUT WHAT
IS LEFT
IS SO FAR FAR
DOWN IN THE
OCEAN FLOOR
IT TORE APART
EVERYTHING IN ME
AND REBUILT ME
BACK AROUND
THE KARMIC
LESSONS
OF SEEKING
LOVE IN
ALL THE WRONG
WAYS
BROUGHT
TROUBLES
AND EMOTIONS
THAT
FIRED SO
MUCH
A CHALLENGE
THAT I LEFT
WHEN SHE WALKED AWAY
INSTANTLY
DID I LEAVE AS WELL
SO IN LOVE
WAS I
SO MUCH
AND SPIRIT YEARNED
NOW IT RESTS
AND LOVE
IS NO WHERE
TO BE FOUND
IT WILL ALWAYS
HAUNT
IF I LET IT
SO I PASS IT ON
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
TO MY
ETERNAL
FAIRY TALES
OF WORDS IN WORLDS
I SO LOVED
TO WRITE ON
DREAM ON
THE
ETERNAL
REALMS OF MY
HEART
TO BE IN
THE ARMS
OF THOSE
I ONCE LOVED
OVERCOMING
THE OBSESSIONS
TO COOL
MY HEART
IN THE HARSH
WAKING
IT BROUGHT
THE BLOODY
HOUNDS
THAT CARRIED
MY LOVE
OUT THE WINDOW
TO THE HAVE
TO FORGET
AND FORGIVE
UW LIEFDE
ALTJID
DE WEG KWIJT
ROZEN VAN MIJN HART
WALKING AWAY
WE ALL WALKED AWAY
TO KEEP
WHAT WE KNEW
TO BE RIGHT
WHEN LIES
AND WRONGS
WERE EVERY WHERE
MY BLOOD HERITAGE
TO MY NOW
ENGLISH AMERICAN
WITH DANISH-DUTCH
SADNESS OF
ALL MY FAMILY
GONE FROM ME
I DON’T
EVEN TRY TO LEARN
IT
DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
CARRY ME
AWAY
HEART
…
LET IT REST
IN THE REALMS
WHERE IT
SO BELONGED
AS I CARRY ON
TRAVELING
THE GYPSY WAY
IF NO WHERE ELSE
BUT IN MY
WISHES
STUCK IN
THE CONFINES
OF FOUR WALLS
I TRAVEL
FROM MY CHAIR
TO CREATE
WITH THE MUSE
ALWAYS ON
MY MIND
GETS ME
THROUGH IT ALL
TO ALL
THE FRIENDS
WE TRAVELED
AWAY FROM
TO DO OUR LIVES
KNOW I HAVE
NO ILL FEELINGS
FOR DREAMS
THESE DREAMS…
I CARRY ALWAYS
IN THE DEPTHS
OF MY HEART
EACH LITTLE PIECE
OF THAT PIE IN TIME
AND SPACE
INSIDE
STILL BRINGS A SMILE
WHEN I SO
DON’T WANT TO
SMILE
- - -
I LEAVE IT THERE
TO GO DRINK
MY AFTERNOON
TEA
=)
